This is a Wyoming golf course built in the Alkali flats of Rawlins. There is always a breeze (or wind if your not a Wyomingite) This course is beautiful and very challenging. I started on the second tees from the back, but with the "Breeze" could not make it into the fairway on a couple of holes, so I moved up one set of tees for the back and it worked out much better. Fun course, I would recommend you stop as you drive across I 80.. not much golf for miles and miles. Give this a try, right off the freeway you can see it if you approach Rawlins from the East.. have fun and try and miss the antelope. After all this is their normal range...
