The Rooster Run Golf Course started as pancake flat pastureland. Meandering through the property were three creeks. Along their beds grew native willows, cottonwoods and oak trees. These creeks and two ancient trees were incorporated in the design of the golf course, a total of 370,000 cubic feet of soil was moved to shape the course.
