Lost Canyons is truly a unique golf experience. The views while playing a round at this course are simply breathtaking. A month back I had the opportunity to play The Sky Course with a few friends of mine that work for Intel Corporation. It was a picture perfect day out, fresh cut grass, birds chirping but this course was extremely difficult from the back tees. Almost every hole seemed to play substantially up hill, or down hill. It was almost impossible to find a perfectly flat lie even in the center of the fairway, which I passed while driving the cart to my ball in the rough. The scores were high that day, but it was a great place to get out and spend part of a day with old friends.
