Re: “9,000 feet”

Yikes - that’s above the tree line, isn’t it?

Can they actually grow grass that high?

I may be wrong but the tee box looks like a mat rather than grass in that pic.

Pretty cool, though.

Cloudcroft is far enough south that the tree (and grass) line is higher than that. The golf course there is, as I understand it, the highest in the USA if not the world.

Just looked it up on a topographic map and the course appears to range from 8663' to 8813' above sea level.
