Arizona Golf Authority AZGA Golf Course Buzz:<\/strong><\/span> Pinewood Country Club is located in Munds Park, a resort community about 20 miles south of Flagstaff; it\u2019s one of several private, member-owned clubs that allows limited public play these days.<\/p>\n

Designed by Lawrence Hughes, Pinewood opened in 1958 and underwent a makeover by Arthur \u201cJack\u201d Snyder in 1965. It\u2019s a traditional, parkland-style layout with lots of Ponderosa Pine trees accenting the holes and is situated in a Valley below the 12,633\u2019 high San Francisco Mountains that dominate the scenery in northern Arizona.<\/p>\n

The golf course closes around Nov. 1 and re-opens around Memorial Day; the country club remains open year-round. Pinewood Country Club offers three sets of men\u2019s tees, which play at par 72, the longest of which set at 6,618 yards with a rating of 70.2 and slope of 124. Forward tees, which measure 5,499 and 5,059 yards, play at par 73.<\/p>\n

The course has two lakes that bring water into play on four holes. A memorable 3-hole stretch starts at the signature hole, No. 12. It\u2019s a 506-yard par-5, a dogleg right with a hazard running along the right side, trees pinching both sides of the fairways for the last 100 yards, and an earthen dam behind the green that holds back O\u2019Dell Lake.<\/p>\n

Next up is the short par-4 13th, a risk-reward temptress at a modest 368 yards. The slight dogleg right requires a tee shot through a chute of pine trees where a slight fade will set up an approach over a hazard to a green with a false front, guarded by a massive bunker on the right side.<\/p>\n

Completing this nice three-hole stretch, the 14th is a 414-yard par-4 rated the No. 2 handicap hole on the course; making par here requires two long and accurate shots.<\/p>\n

Practice facilities here are excellent, including a large driving range, chipping and putting greens and a bunker. The clubhouse, which also dates to the late \u201850s, is home to two dining\/event rooms, a restaurant and bar, and has a patio for outdoor seating.<\/p>\n

Pinewood Country Club offers a variety of memberships, and members receive preferred tee times plus a host of amenities that include tennis courts, heated swimming pool, fitness facilities and active centers for adults and kids.<\/p>\n
