The Fontana Golf is designed on a grand and spacious scale reminiscent of the great classic golf courses built in the early part of the century in North America and Great Britain. The wide rolling fairways provide golfers of all abilities with a challenging, yet playable, layout that allows golfers to swing away with the driver without the fear of losing a ball on every hole.

Each hole also presents a great variety of strategic options that can be taken to the hole. A well placed tee shot is rewarded with an easier line of play to the pin, while a poorly played tee shot will most surely be left with a much more challenging approach to the green. However, the penalty for an errant drive or conservatively placed shot is not severely punished in most cases.

The 15th hole at Fontana is a long sweeping par five that winds its way from left to right and from right to left around clusters of menacing bunkers and through massive rolling hills, to a green nestled between two large hills pocketed with pot bunkers and grassy hollows. The ideal tee shot must flirt with the deep cluster of bunkers on the right side of the sloping fairway to leave a clear shot to the second landing area.

The second shot must clear a series of cross bunkers flanking the left side of the fairway to open up the optimum approach angle into a wide shallow green. A conservative shot played wide to the right of the cross bunkers will leave a semi-blind shot over a massive hill to the contoured green surrounded by tightly clipped grass hollows.
