This is a challenging executive course that puts a premium on accuracy. The signature hole is #18, a 202-yard, par 3, featuring a kidney-shaped green with a bunker to the right. The wind can be a major factor in selecting the right club on this hole.

Colton Golf Course instituted night golf in the 1960's and has recently revamped its lighting system to brighten the course. The course is well-lit and accommodates players of all skill levels.

Golfers cite certain advantages to playing at night. The course is not as crowded - so you can play at your own relaxed pace - and the greens fees are considerably less than a weekend day rate. Golfers often do not have the time for a 5 1/2 hour weekend round, so they come out to Colton during the evening where they can play in 3 hours or less.

The course layout provides a challenge for even low-handicapper, rewards accuracy more than distance and provides the beginner the perfect way to learn the game of golf.
