Come summer, Holiday Valley is robed in lush green and magnificent gardens. The newly redesigned 18 hole par 70 "Double Black Diamond" golf course is challenging and well maintained with breathtaking scenery from every hole. The Double Black Diamond was nominated by Golf Magazine '09 as one of the best redesigns in the country! The course is a pleasing blend of a mountain and flat terrain. The relatively level front nine plays longer and is built around a series of ponds and bunkers. The back nine winds its way through the base of the mountains and provides spectacular views. The fairways are well manicured and narrow and this nine provides a very stern test of golf. Holiday Valley has the best bent grass greens in Western New York. The greens are carefully manicured to provide a true putting surface. The course measures 6500 yards, but plays the equivalent of a much longer course. The combination of well-watered fairways and variations in terrain extends the 18 holes and makes play more challenging. The slope from the double black diamond tees is 126, black is 121, blue 115 and green 118.
