The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The Nicklaus links-style course at Desert Mountain, set apart from the club’s desert tracks with generous fairways, deep pot bunkers, rolling ground and firm, fast conditions. Golfers call it a second-shot and short-game test where the greens, not the tee shots, punish.
Consistently praised
- A distinctive Scottish links feel that contrasts with the rest of Desert Mountain.
- Big views of Pinnacle Peak, the McDowells and Four Peaks.
Worth knowing
- Forgiving off the tee but brutal around the greens; firm, fast surfaces make a real short-game exam.
Golfers recommend
- Plan approaches to the right spot; the greens and bunkering are the whole defense.
- Bring your bump-and-run and putter touch.
