Entrada at Snow Canyon is a little difficult to rate as playable. I would suggest that it is a great course for players with a handicap of 14 or less, and unfortunately not a great ladies course, as I feel the yardages and carries are a bit much unless you can really pound the ball straight. However, the course itself is a great design. Entrada is very challenging and visually stimulating on nearly every hole. The views towards the heights on the east side and Snow Canyon to the Northeast are really something. The Northeast side of the course is another story. Holes 14 through 17 travel through an amazing black lava bed that looks the same as it must have thousands of years ago when it cooled. These holes leave little room for error, but just standing on the tee is an experience almost worth the green fee by themselves.. I played this course 3 times as a twosome, and on the fourth try my partner and I were fortunate to team up with a third, (a local and excellent golfer) on the back nine. "George" (the local) forever changed our outlook on the difficult holes on the back and with our drivers left in the bag we both bettered our scores on the back by 5 and 6 strokes respectively. Entrada has just completed it's new clubhouse in fall 2005, and done a lot of work on the tees and general course conditions. They've done a great job and the course is looking and playing the best I've ever seen it. Well worth consideration and a must play for those who enjoy a challenge.
