Par 66 layouts ask a different kind of question than a traditional par 72 — accuracy and course management matter more than raw power, and Coyote Trails in Cottonwood, Arizona leans into that challenge against a backdrop that few short courses can match. Sitting in the Verde Valley, the course is framed by the rugged red-rock terrain and high desert scrub that define this stretch of central Arizona, with the Mingus Mountain range and the layered mesas of the Colorado Plateau forming the kind of scenery that makes a topped 7-iron slightly easier to forgive.
Cottonwood itself sits roughly midway between Flagstaff and Prescott, in a valley that draws year-round play thanks to a mild elevation climate — warm enough to stay green in winter, cooler in summer than the Phoenix basin to the south. The Verde Valley has a modest but steady local golf culture built around accessible, unpretentious courses.
For players who want to work their short game and ball-striking rather than simply grip-and-rip, an executive-length layout in this setting offers genuine rewards. The desert demands respect; there's very little margin for wayward shots when the natural surroundings are as unforgiving as they are beautiful.
