Golf Course Superintendent
Aspen Valley Golf Club
| The Organization Aspen Valley is a private, 18-hole golf club nestled in the ponderosa pine forest of Flagstaff. Designed around the iconic Rio De Flag just east of downtown, the 6,889-yard layout showcases the rolling topography of the site along with unfettered views of nearby Mount Elden in the foreground and the San Francisco Peaks in the distance. Aspen Valley is a private club operated by its members, about half of whom live in Flagstaff year- round and half of whom come seasonally to enjoy the club. There are 400 memberships in total, all of which are currently issued. Since its founding in 1993, the Aspen Valley membership has been focused on building a culture that celebrates the traditions of golf. No frills. No pomp. No circumstance. Just a well-designed, well-maintained golf course that’s easy to walk, and enough food & beverage to complement the round. It’s a simple formula but it works incredibly well. The elevation in Flagstaff provides an ideal growing environment, so the course is lush and green from late spring through early fall. Bentgrass greens are a luxury rarely provided in the Valley, but they are fast and true all summer long at Aspen Valley. A majority of the golf course is lined with tall ponderosa pines, framing tee shots and approaches in a way only provided by mountain golf. When the holes do traverse the meadows, the tests created by trees are replaced by natural wetlands. Importantly though, the design does an effective job of challenging the accomplished player while still accommodating the novice. The bar & restaurant sit directly adjacent to the golf shop, practice green and first tee, meaning that even while you’re enjoying a cold drink or a nice meal, you’re never far away from the golf action. In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear great opening drives rewarded with praise and other shots, well, they elicit a reaction from the diners as well. Much of the seating is outdoors under the towering ponderosas, but there is plenty of room inside if you want to watch the game. For most of the summer, the doors are wide open, and members are traversing from table-to-table connecting with friends.
