Where Verrado Golf Course will eat you alive is in the bunkers. Some bunkers are hard to carry, others collect wayward shots. But the fairways are wide enough to avoid trouble, and what appears to be the safe shot off the tee will often bring greenside bunkers more into play. So pick your poison.
While the back nine is far superior to the front, going out still has its fair share of memorable holes. A huge boulder 30 feet tall on the par-4 eighth jets out from the left side around which the fairway shapes itself. A perfect line from the tee box is to take the ball five yards right off its edge, but hitting the boulder is certain death by desert. The boulder was scheduled to crumble via dynamite, but stood up to the TNT and was deemed an immoveable object. Open and playable for all skill levels, the Verrado Golf Club is a sublime experience.
He’s back, Tony Rodriquez wins the Verrado Founders event today with a 68 net score. Great to see you back winning again Tony. No stranger to winning, John Adair took second on a scorecard playoff with Kenny Baca after tying at 70 net. Kenny gets third place. Tony Dalton and Dan Delgado share the Atta-a-Boy after a 74 net tie. It was a hot day in the Phoenix area today but still great in the mornings. But look out. Next up Whirlwind so don’t miss out on that one. Rest of Founders scores are below.
