The Valley course starts at the base of the ski hill and wanders through dense forest before reaching a dramatically elevated tee at the par five 18th. From here, enjoy the panoramic view of the valley and the final fairway turning sharply left down below. This is a short but stern test, with many little dogleg par fours that require an accurately placed tee ball for a decent shot at the green (stick to the left side). Once on the green, you’ll rarely see a straight putt.
18 holes, 6,204 yards, par 72
