In terms of difficulty, the Blue Course falls in the middle of its two siblings. There’s sand and fairways become narrower. There is water abound, so pick up some extra balls at the clubhouse. In fact, Cottonwood is notorious for its water hazard on this  paticular 9’s last two holes. A daunting site from the tee box, this lake (not pond) challenges the confidence of the bravest. Don’t be intimidated, but then again, don’t botch your tee shot.
