COURSE OVERVIEW

About Antelope Hills Gc — North

Antelope Hills Golf Course - North Course in Prescott, Arizona, is a traditional parkland-style municipal layout designed by Lawrence Hughes and opened in 1956. Tree-lined corridors framed by mature 50-foot Elm trees pinch narrow fairways, while fast, smooth bentgrass greens punish inaccurate approaches. Sitting at high altitude in Prescott, shots carry farther through the thin air, requiring thoughtful club selection into well-protected greens.

COURSE STRATEGY

How to play Antelope Hills Gc — North

Off the tee

Mature 50-foot Elm trees frame tight fairways, making tee-shot accuracy far more important than raw distance. Straying off the tee often results in blocked approach angles or tree-lined recovery shots.

Elevation & terrain

Located in Prescott at high altitude, shots carry noticeably farther through the mountain air. The terrain features gentle parkland undulations rather than dramatic mountain drops.

Approach play

Narrow fairway corridors demand precise iron control to reach fast bentgrass greens without interference from overhanging branches. Positioning on the correct side of the fairway is essential for clean approach angles.

Around the greens

Fast bentgrass putting surfaces require delicate touch and precise distance control. Greens are bunkered and firm, making recovery chips challenging if missed on the wrong side.

Best way to play it

Focus on laying up to preferred fairway landing spots to navigate the mature Elm tree canopy. Manage club selection for high-altitude air while aiming for central targets on fast bentgrass greens.

Key takeaways

  • Traditional 1956 Lawrence Hughes parkland design defined by tight corridors of mature 50-foot Elm trees.
  • Fast bentgrass greens demand precise approach positioning and soft hands around the putting surfaces.
  • High-altitude elevation in Prescott adds natural distance carry to all shots.
  • Accuracy off the tee takes precedence over power to maintain clear lines into greens.
  • Closing holes 17 and 18 offer dramatic scenic backdrops featuring Prescott's Granite Dells.
