OVERVIEW

The Desert Course offers a dramatic landscape that only Nevada can provide. Feel part of nature while surrounded by glorious palm trees, colorful cacti and abundant plant life. Desert wildflowers offer an ethereal beauty.

The Desert Course opened in May 1998 and was built to showcase the beautiful desert landscaping and providing a stark contrast to the almost-tropical Lakes Course. Slightly more demanding of the player's ability, it measures 7,131 yards with a par of 72.

The course is accented with palm and mesquite trees, as well as colorful cactus and desert wildflowers to give it a true desert feeling. Where water was used on the Lakes Course, vast stretches of waste bunkers border the fairways on seven holes. Water does come into play on five holes, and narrow fairways with elevation changes and large, well-bunkered greens test even the most skilled players.
