The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A 27-hole municipal facility designed by Mark Rathert, with the Desert Hawk and Coyote Run nines combining into the longest and toughest 18 of the three loops, stretching past 7,600 yards from the tips. Bold, risk-reward desert golf with big lines off the tee, generous fairways and dramatic carries, at a price well below the marquee resorts.
Consistently praised
- Massive, generous fairways and bold gambling lines that reward aggressive tee shots.
- Three distinct nines that let groups mix and match without playing the same 18, with strong value for the scale.
Worth knowing
- From the back tees the Desert Hawk / Coyote Run combo is genuinely long (over 7,600 yards), so wrong-tee decisions ruin the round.
Golfers recommend
- Pick the right tees honestly; the slope from the tips runs in the 140s and there is nowhere to hide if a driver is not on.
- On the gambling holes, the conservative line still leaves a wedge; reserve heroics for when the round needs them.
