COURSE INFO

The Ironwood Course is Anthem’s most challenging layout, featuring multiple water hazards, bold bunkering, and a dramatic mountain mesa backdrop. The high‑risk, high‑reward design is defined by “Anthem Alley,” a demanding water‑guarded stretch from holes 10 through 12.

HOLE-BY-HOLE INFO

Hole #1

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
Ironwood opens with a long demanding par 4. This uphill hole rises 50 feet from tee to green. Bunkers frame the fairway and the green is protected by two bunkers.

GREEN: 352

Hole #10

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A strategic tee shot on this downhill par 4 will hug the bunkers on the right. This will allow an easier approach to the green which is surrounded by water and a deceptive bunker short of the green.

BLUE: 365

GREEN: 352

Hole #11

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
This 217 yard par 3 features a semi-island green with water surrounding the entire back and right of the green, as well as on the right front.

BLUE: 176

GREEN: 160

Hole #12

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
Water lurks all around on the longest par 5 on the Ironwood course. A lake awaits an errant tee shot on the right. Conversely, a lake awaits an errant approach shot on the left.

BLUE: 547

GREEN: 475

Hole #13

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
Even at 468 yards, lucky #13 is not the longest par 4 on the course (#16 has that honor at 475 yards). A bold tee shot over the left fairway bunker sets up a better angle to the pin. The canted green is split by a large ridge.

BLUE: 404

GREEN: 352

Hole #14

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A scattering of bunkers on the right provides tee shot excitement on this par 4. An accurate shot near the bunkers in the narrow fairway will produce a more favorable shot in to the green. Two bunkers on the left will catch a short approach on this uphill hole.

BLUE: 400

GREEN: 325

Hole #15

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The golf shots on this short par 4 must negotiate four specimen mesquite trees. A tee shot between two trees in the fairway will open up a shot to a high plateau green flanked by two trees in front.

BLUE: 345

GREEN: 316

Hole #16

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot near the lake on this long cape hole offers better access to the green. A menacing bunker along the right side of the green, hides the putting surface.

BLUE: 402

GREEN: 366

Hole #17

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
The longest par 4 at Ironwood is followed by the shortest par 3. The hole demands 154 yards of precision. The left pin position is protected by a large bunker. A lone pot bunker awaits shots that go long.

BLUE: 140

GREEN: 123

Hole #18

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
This 548 yard par 5 provides an exciting finish to your round. A well-placed drive avoiding the bunker complex on the left will set up an interesting second shot. A lay-up to the right must keep way from a large fairway bunker. Going for the green will require a carry of a lake which wraps around the green in the front, left, and back.

BLACK: 523

BLUE: 517

GOLD: 548

GREEN: 425

WHITE: 480

Hole #2

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
This narrow downhill par 4 may require a lay-up off the tee as a wash severs the fairway at 275 yards. A long bunker guards the right side of the green.

BLUE: 366

GREEN: 300

Hole #3

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
Tumbling 60 feet downhill from tee to green, this 546 yard par 5 defines risk reward. A safe approach to the green requires a lay-up short of a deep wash which bisects the green from the fairway. A more bold approach however, will carry the wash setting up an eagle putt on an undulating green.

BLUE: 486

GREEN: 457

Hole #4

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
At 220 yards, hole 4 is the longest par 3 on the course. The large green divided by a ridge is guarded by a lake on the right.

BLUE: 191

GREEN: 140

Hole #5

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
This long par 4 features a narrow fairway bottlenecking at 300 yards. While the front and right of the green remain open, the left side is protected by a long menacing bunker.

BLUE: 375

GREEN: 353

Hole #6

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
This long par 5 demands an accurate tee shot between five intimidating bunkers. A cluster of bunkers 50 yards short of the green will challenge the second shot.

BLUE: 535

GREEN: 469

Hole #7

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
Hole 7 is the shortest par 4 on the course. Four arcing bunkers in the middle of the fairway call for a lay-up to the left. A tee shot over the bunkers to the right shelf fairway could reach the green.

BLUE: 300

GREEN: 269

Hole #8

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
Situated in a small valley, this 180 yard par 3 is squeezed by a pot bunker in the front right and a large bunker in the back left.

BLUE: 145

GREEN: 123

Hole #9

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The finale to the front nine is an uphill 431 yard par 4. A tee shot daring the hazard on the left provides a better angle to the plateaued green. Bunkers protect the right and back of this small green.

BLUE: 374

GOLD: 431

GREEN: 330

Beautiful course! Everything (including the tee boxes!) was in immaculate shape. Perfectly placed bunkers, ravines, and water provide an interesting challenge.
