The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A rare walkable, strategy-first Coore & Crenshaw desert course with wide fairways, intimate green-to-tee routing and no houses in sight. Wide does not mean easy — stray into the desert and it turns penal.
Consistently praised
- A genuinely walkable desert course with intimate routing and no residential intrusion.
- Strategic, wide fairways, dramatic terrain and the photogenic downhill par-3 15th.
Worth knowing
- Wide does not mean forgiving; missing into the surrounding desert is severely penal.
Golfers recommend
- Play the ground game and angles; position off the tee sets up the approach.
- The back nine has real elevation if you walk it.
