Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
What the highest elevation golf course you've played?
Me: Park City Muni Course - 6,900 ft
Also @chuck got my world record 15" Brook Trout out of one of their ponds.

That's some pretty flatlander golf, chief.
The cliffs at Bandon looked pretty high up to me. What's the elevation in Scottsdale?
2165'
Unless we got some dudes here who have golfed in CO, I think I got this one in the bag, but we'll see.
Teton Lakes in Rexburg, ID and Fremont County in St Anthony are at about 5000'. I've played both a couple of times in July. The ball goes pretty far.
Did the dam burst on the back 9 for you?
Tetherow is 3790 for the record.
The Top 5 are all in Colorado and all over 9,000 ft.

I was five when that happened and not serious enough about golf yet to drive to eastern Idaho for a round.
81% chance I fish the Teton river a bit this summer. I'm still mulling whether that area will be part of a big loop.
I think the CdA resort is probably my highest. Except maybe the 9 hole goat track in Colstrip, MT where my dad used to live.
I played Big Sky in Montana about 20 years ago, which I think was a little over 6,000…may have had too many beers to notice the elevation…
Indian Canyon. Was super high.
Sativa.
Sierra Sage - Reno, Nevada - around 4,500 feet
We visited the in laws in Florida long time back when I was still playing. West Palm area. The ball flew off the club and I gained a lot of yards. Guy told me the northwest air is thick cold and damp and you'll always gain yards in Florida
I did not know that. Sea level
Reno. Cool fucking city.
You should try some of that high elevation hero golf with @89ute .
Did not play golf in Salt Lake City or in Mexico City. So Scottsdale has to be it.
Mexico City would beat almost all of the US options outside of Colorado ski resort communities.
