Par 5, 535 Yards

This well bunkered par 5 will challenge your course management. Favor the right side of the fairway on your second shot for an open look at the green. Avoiding the greenside bunkers is a must so leave a comfortable distance for your approach shot.

Par 4, 410 Yards

Favor the left side of the fairway on your tee shot to avoid the fairway bunkers right. This large green is very undulated so pay attention to the pin position on your approach.

Par 3, 194 Yards

Native desert landscaping extends from tee to green on this challenging par 3. The green is long and narrow so proper club selection is necessary to score well.

Par 4, 446 Yards

The green is well protected by bunkers but a miss short left will leave an opportunity for an easy up and down. Par is a very good score here.

Par 4, 429 Yards

Favor the right side of the fairway on this slight dogleg left par 4. Missing left will leave a challenging fairway bunker shot into a small green surrounded by bunkers.

Par 4, 331 Yards

This short challenging par 4 is one of the finer risk reward holes in the Coachella Valley. The green is surrounded by bunkers and water so a full swing on the approach will be preferred if the pin position is on the right side. A left pin presents an opportunity for an easy birdie.

Par 5, 569 Yards

This par 5 is a three shot hole for the longest of hitters. Tee shots should favor the left side of the fairway to avoid several bunkers right. A large front greenside bunker requires players to carry their approach to the green.

Par 3, 155 Yards

This short par 3 features one of the best views in the desert. Players should favor the right center of the green on their tee shot.

Par 4, 455 Yards

A great long par 4 that approaches our clubhouse. Water extends down the left side of the green and bunkers surround the right so an accurate approach shot is necessary to score on this hole.

Par 4, 435 Yards

Play your tee shot down the left side of the fairway to avoid fairway bunkers on the right. Missing short right of the green will give you an opportunity for an easy up and down.

Par 4, 452 Yards

Favor the left side of the fairway on your tee shot. This par 4 is a slight dogleg right with a generous chipping area greenside. Any misses short still have an opportunity for an easy up and down.

Par 4, 427 Yards

A straightaway par 4 that requires a good tee shot. A waste bunker extends down the left side of the fairway on the approach.

Par 5, 550 Yards

This uphill par 5 is well bunkered and places a premium on course management. Pay attention to the fairway bunkers extending the length of the hole on your approach shots. Smart shots will be rewarded!

Par 3, 176 Yards

This scenic par 3 demands a good tee shot to a green surrounded by bunkers. The safe play is to favor the left side.

Par 4, 332 Yards

Another short risk reward par 4. A native waste bunker on the right runs the length of the hole. Play your tee shot down the right side of the fairway if the pin is located up front. The left greenside bunker should be avoided at all costs.

Par 4, 420 Yards

Tee shots should favor the left side of the fairway on this par 4. The second shot is slightly uphill to a green surrounded by bunkers.

Par 3, 204 Yards

This long par 3 is surrounded by stunning views. A good tee shot is necessary to score here. Water runs the length of the hole and a greenside bunker left will catch any errant shots.

Par 5, 536 Yards

A great finishing par 5 that rewards good tee shots. Be aware of the water on the right that comes into play on the approach. Any miss left of the green is fine but the water catches any errant shots hit short right.
