Four Mile Ranch
Situated just outside Cañon City, in the high desert of southern Colorado, the course at Four Mile Ranch Golf Club is a challenging yet fun Jim Engh layout that’s said by a number of seasoned observers to feature the most unique set of greens in the whole of the Centennial State.
The architect is renowned for pushing the design boundaries and he’s done so here on several holes, cleverly “hiding” the green locations behind mounding on the par five 2nd, the par four 10th and the par five 15th.
The toughest hole on the card, the 563-yard 6th, also involves a fair amount of deception around the putting surface as the green sits below a sandy waste area that cuts across the fairway, forcing a semi-blind approach to the flag.
