Show Low, Arizona
Torreon delivers two full 18s of strategic, impeccably conditioned mountain golf surrounded by pine forests. Both the Tower and Cabin courses challenge every club in your bag with elevation, creative routing, and risk-reward holes. A true White Mountains escape with authentic alpine feel.
Try the Cabin Course turn-restaurant at the nine—locals rave about the elevated mountain views and quick bites you can only get mid-round.
Torreon’s duo of von Hagge, Smelek, and Baril courses carve through Arizona’s White Mountains, shaping generous corridors out of thick forests and rolling high-country land. The Cabin Course brings elevation swings and tighter plays, demanding premeditated tee shots and tactical approaches, while the Tower Course reveals wider avenues, rock outcrops, and strategic scoring holes built around its lakes. Every round is a balancing act of altitude calculation and shot-shaping, with excellent conditioning elevating the experience.
Robert von Hagge’s mountain vision blends visual drama with playable corridors, always testing ball control and precision.
The Cabin’s par-5 fourth is a true three-shot hole for most, unfurling along a pine-laced fairway that tempts a bold layup but punishes the greedy. The approach is framed by forest and elevation, demanding exact placement.
Play for smart position with your second; an aggressive layup can bring the green into view, but a misstep risks blocked angles and trouble.

The Cabin Course opened in stages, with early play on a nine before its full 18 revealed an intricate test of precision and nerve. Its critical acclaim cemented Torreon's reputation as a must-play in Arizona's high country.
