Butterfield Trail Golf Club
Butterfield Trail Golf Course opened for play in 2007. The course was designed by Thomas Fazio.
Butterfield Trail Golf Course is named for the Missouri-to-San Francisco trail used by the Butterfield Overland Mail Company from 1858 to 1861. Each hole on the course is named for a different Stagecoach stop on the 2,800-mile trail.
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 7,307 yards. From the foward tees the course plays to 5,053 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 6, a par-5 that plays to 600 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 10, a par-3 that plays to 170 yards from the back tees.
#18 is a classic risk/reward par-5 of 566 yards that buttonhooks to the right around a lake. The more you cut off the corner, the more reward, as well as the more risk. Now the only question you have to ask is, "do I feel lucky today?"
