Golf views at Westin Kierland

[#1 Cowboys Fan]

My wife and I like to watch Golfers when we vacation. We really like being near the Green, seeing the shots come in, and watching the player putt.

What Buildings and units have the best GOLF Views at Westin Kierland?

3, 5, 6, and 7 are all on the golf course.
6 and 7 also have nice sunset views

Do you know which offers better view of a Golf GREEN, #3 or #5?
Similarly, which offer better views of a Golf GREEN, between #6 or #7?

Thanks,
I am trying to 'match' that map, to the surrounding golf course (ex: what Hole numbers are in those areas)

From Google Maps/Earth it looks like there are no greens in close proximity to any of the buildings, just views over fairways.

The way the course is designed there really isn't a 'close-up' view of the greens for the two holes that surround the villas (#9 and #7 of the Ironwood course; search for scorecard online). We like top floor units at Kierland for views over the course towards the mountains in the distance (bldgs. #3 & #5) Not sure if the ground floor units can see the golfers walk by. There are many trees and shrubbery so that blocks some of the view, as well. Bldg. #7 faces west so the sunsets are pretty but not the best if you're coming during the hotter months (June through Sept.). And I'm not sure how the views are onto the course from Bldg. #7 or Bldg. #6, or their relationship to the greens, as we've never stayed in either of those two bldgs. The grounds are beautiful and the walk to the pro shop and the hotel allow for wonderful spots to view golfers. Just maybe not the best from the individual villa patios/balconies. Hopefully someone else can weigh in, as well. Enjoy your stay!

Building 6 will perhaps have the best view of a green, but they will be in the distance. So nothing really close up. As noted, you will want a high floor as the ground floors have a lot of trees and foliage blocking the view.

Here are the holes of the Ironwood Course. I've circled the greens.

As others have pointed out there won’t really be any close views of the greens. They seem to have designed things to provide some privacy.

I’ve stayed in buildings 5, 6 (multiple times) and 7. Upper floors give a better view - the ground floor you’ll see nothing really. Also, because building 6 forms a “V” you may get a distant view of the green or just a view of the fairway to the north.
