Adams Mountain Country Club is a brand new private club that opened up in 2007, everything is built including a massive clubhouse, member cottages, and about 5 homes on 5+ acre lots. This is an exclusive club that is tucked back into the valley of Eagle, CO. Adams Rib Ranch is the name of the whole property which consists of over 1,600 acres, when you are driving to the club you pass though about 5 miles of his property that is all occupied by horses (very cool drive). The golf couse is a Tom Weiskopf designed course that strectes over 7,100 yards, which isn't that long considering the elevation is over 6,500 feet. The front nine is in open valley on the high part of the property, and the back nine runs on the lower part of the property with 6 holes running alongside brush creek. This is my new workplace for the summer since stone eagle gets WAY too hot in the summer, and I am already loving it here in Colorado.
Hole 1 Par 4 (440 yards) This fairway is soooooooo wide to start out with, about 60 yards wide.
Hole 2 Par 4 (430 yards)
Hole 3 Par 5 (560 yards) This is a cool hole with a bunker in the middle of the green, Weiskopf must like Riv 6 because this isn't the only time he has done that.
Hole 4 Par 4 (360 yards) A good short par 4 with bunker all over the place, must thread the needle with your drive
Hole 5 Par 3 (187 yards) A nice uphill par 3 with a good looking background, two of the par 3's the green is hidden from the tee
Hole 6 Par 4 (485 yards) This is a good downhill hole, you can rip a tee shot over the bunker and be left with only 130 yards in.
Hole 7 Par 4 (380 yards) Then you have a uphill tee shot, then the approach is to a puchbowl type green with a lot of undulation.
Hole 8 Par 3 (244 yards) This hole is impossible to select the right club, way downhill then elevation distance, really easy to end up short.
Hole 9 Par 5 (570 yards)
Now the start of the back nine, this side is amazing in my opinion a lot of variety in holes, great views, a river running through, it can't get much better than this on a nice summer day.
Hole 10 Par 4 (440 yards) A cool hole with a blind tee shot over a hill, then you approach the green crossing a dry gully
Hole 11 Par 4 (430 yards) Great hole, you have to place your tee shot just perfect to have a good approach in, to far left you leave yourself over 180 yards, if you put it right by the creek on the right side of the fairway you have a wedge in.
Hole 12 Par 3 (183 yards) A very scenic par 3, with a undulating green, its pretty hard to hit the green, its set at an akward angle.
Hole 13 Par 4 (310 Yards) A very very good driveable par 4, with the river running down the left side and an array of bunkers lining the right, you have to hit a perfect tight draw. And the green has a couple ridges running through it, not an easy par if you miss the fairway.
Hole 14 Par 5 (510 yards) This is a great risk reward par 5, you are always left in the 225 distance wondering if you should go for it or not. If you lay up it really isn't that favorable since you are usually left with over 120 yards in, and if you go for it you better hit it good because it is a pretty small target with the river left of the green and trees right.
Hole 15 Par 4 (440 yards) A very cool looking tee shot that is asking for a draw around the trees
Here is the view of the river to the left of the tee
Hole 16 Par 3 (190 yards) A good looking par 3, same thing as number 5 with the green hidden below, where you can't see your tee shot land.
Hole 17 Par 5 (560 yards) A tight tee shot with bunkers left and water right, then the second shot is a lot of fun, you either lay up to the left of the bunkers leaving a blind approach or lay up to the right leaving a short wedge in but with the ball way above your feet. It is a small long green.
Hole 18 Par 4 (445 yards) A great finishing hole, you hit your tee shot over the crest of a hill with a little cut and then cross a ravine to a green raised with bunkers all on the right side.
