Cobre Valle Country Club
Funny piddling human with golf club (or hoe) on archway sign – prelude of things to come up?

I left Pine Meadows Country Order in Overgaard, AZ in my rearview mirror in search of Cobre Valle (non Valley) Country Club. The road (Highway 60) betwixt these two towns is both fun and scary. The "fun" (unless y'all are pulling a 40ft motor home) are the hills, curves and scenery through the Salt River Coulee.

The "scary" are the drivers on the route. Tailgaters at present filled my rearview mirror as I viewed all their facial contortions as they tried to run me off the road at 70 mph. Obviously they have no inkling how to laissez passer. This has to be one of the deadliest roads in Arizona as every two miles there is anAdopt a Highwaysign that states, "In Loving Memory of…" . Come on folks –Go a Clue!Off my soapbox and back to try to find Cobre Valle.

So where exactly is Cobre Valle Land Club? 1) Apache Trail, Globe, AZ; 2) 4877 West Cypress Way, Miami, AZ; iii) E. Pinal Canyon Rd., World, AZ; 4) Apache Trail &I-60, World, AZ. During my research, I constitute all iv addresses. And the winner is…5) Hwy 88 – Apache Trail, Globe, AZ. This address was taken from their scorecard and the fifth unlike one I have institute. I'one thousand not fifty-fifty certain this is correct since I turned into their club from Highway188.To simplify, merely turn on Hwy 188 from Hwy 60 and the course volition be nearly a half mile on the left.

This par 36, 3224 one thousand class starts with a unique first hole – information technology hastwogreens. The ane on the left plays as Hole #1; the one on the correct plays as Pigsty #10. The balance of the holes have two separate tee boxes to offering the golfer a different angle to the green if you lot are playing eighteen. Men play from the white tees on the forepart nine and the blue on the back nine. Well-nigh ix-hole courses just alter the length but use the aforementioned tee box. Information technology can exist disruptive the first fourth dimension out, so keep your scorecard handy for easy reference.

The greens are hard because they are basin-shaped, similar to Pinehurst #ii – the comparison stops there. The fairways were firm and fast, so I received plenty of roll on my tee shots. Hole #seven– what's upwards with the 246 yard par 3 from the blue tees? Maybe this form is more like to Pinehurst #2 than I thought!

Par: As long as the fairway grass greens upwardly during the summer flavour and yous are non expecting Pinehurst, I would requite Cobre Valle State Club a try. Pair it with Apache Gold Casino/Golf and yous can have a expert couple of days in Earth (or is it Miami?).

For lodging I would recommend the Dream Manor Inn, which sits atop a hill overlooking the Sonoran Desert. Relish the sunsets from the many balconies or the unique bell belfry. Carl and Rebecca are very friendly hosts. Carl is an avid golfer who enjoys playing with his guests. During my stay, he discussed edifice a par three hole on his holding – I hope you get to play it.
