The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The Ted Robinson Resort course is the tougher and prettier of the two Tahquitz layouts, a desert-links design with lakes, an island fairway and flowers, and a front nine some call good enough to rival anything in the valley. The trade-off is that it punishes shots not hit down the middle.
Consistently praised
- Scenic water features, mountain views and a front nine players rave about.
- Reliably good conditioning and an excellent, varied layout.
Worth knowing
- Less forgiving than its Legend sibling; errant shots get punished, and the range draws complaints.
Golfers recommend
- Bring your A-game off the tee since accuracy matters more than on the Legend.
- If you want the better looks and challenge of the two, choose this over the Legend.
