Red Sky Ranch (Fazio)
13th
The Fazio course at Red Sky Ranch & Golf Club debuted in 2002, one year before the Norman course. It’s a layout that enjoys substantial elevation changes with most of the challenge found in the intricate design of the greens.
Average Reviewers Score:
Pradera
14th
Located a few miles south of Parker and fashioned as the centrepiece for an upmarket new community, the 7,200-yard golf course at The Club at Pradera is a Jim Engh design from 2004. It plays very long from the back markers, but seven tee positions make the layout playable for golfers of all abilities.
