Voted the #2 most affordable golf course in the nation (2002) by Golf Magazine, Devil’s Thumb offers breathtaking views of three mountain ranges. Golfers can make the game as challenging as they desire, with five different sets of tees, changing play length, and approach angles. About 80% of golfers at Devil’s Thumb come from outside the area, some flying into Blake Airfield and taking a golf cart for the short trip to the golf course.
