The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A strategic, transparent resort layout where everything is visible from the tee — no blind shots or hidden hazards — climbing Camelback Mountain on a dramatic back nine with skyline and desert vistas. Praised for engaging shot-by-shot decisions and strong finishing holes.

- A transparent design with no blind shots; the whole hole sits in front of you.
- The back nine climbs the mountainside with standout views and a strong 16th and 18th.
