Due to the differing topography, the Dye
and Norman Courses will complement one another with each having a
unique look, feel and playing experience for members and resort guests.
While very different from the traditional, tree-lined AT&T Oaks
Course, the AT&T Canyons Course stands on its own as a tournament
venue in terms of design, strategy and beauty. This course sits on a
great piece of land which provides panoramic views of an adjacent 750
acre nature preserve. The design, which measures more than 7,500 yards,
is true to nature and the flow of the land. The dramatic elevation
changes and hill country views make this course not only challenging,
but breathtaking as well.
The AT&T Oaks Course reflects the TOUR’s departure from the modern
tournament style course which featured expansive grass areas and
spectator mounding, to a more natural look and feel, a true to nature
feel. All this is done without sacrificing the fan experience making it
very tournament friendly. Norman’s deep reverence for nature is evident
in every rugged twist and turn of this spectacular layout, replete with
rolling hills, an abundance of mature trees and beautiful indigenous
flora. This world class course is a traditional design that balances
narrower tree-lined fairways with wider fairways offering multiple
routes and strategic options into the greens. The Oaks course is an
intimate design with narrow corridors carved through oak trees with
only 100 feet of fall from the highest point of the course to the
lowest making it very walker friendly. The bunkers are spectacular and
reflect a natural, rugged “minimalist” with edges emulating the canopy
of the native oak trees. The course measures 7,435 yards and plays to a
par of 72. A unique feature of the course is all downhill holes play
into the prevailing wind, while the uphill holes play downwind.
