About Forest Highlands Golf Club — Canyon Course
Forest Highlands Golf Club's Canyon Course is a par 71, 18-hole private course in Flagstaff, Arizona, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish. The holes wind through a mountain pine forest with significant changes in elevation, and streams and ponds come into play on several of them.
- Six par 3s sit on the even-numbered holes from the 4th through the 14th, an unusual run of one-shot holes.
- The rest of the card is seven par 4s and five par 5s, which adds up to a par of 71.
- Turf is bluegrass on the fairways and bentgrass on the greens, set among the pines of the Flagstaff forest.
- A second Weiskopf course, the Meadow Course, shares the club and was added in the late 1990s.
