Hole 10 Par 4
472 | 446 | 367 | 271 | 216
This is probably the most visually challenging tee shot on the course from the back tees. It appears that this hole is very narrow but that is caused by the large sloping cliff that blocks your view down the right of the hole.
There is actually much more room beyond that slope, but you do need to carry it 220 yards from the tips to fly the slope and the creek that cuts across the hole as well in that location.
Missing right is the better option than missing left as the hole falls off into the desert on the left side, where as the right offers a bit of an uphill slope to prevent your ball running off the fairway.
The tee shot gets easier the further up you go as you take out more of the water. From the red tees you have a dead straight short par 4 with only sand as your hazards.
The green is a large kidney shape which is protected in the bend on the right by a single bunker and more guarded on the left by two large bunkers that extend forward into the fairway some 80 yards. This green is not as tiered as some others but it does have a couple of distinct levels from front to back so hitting to the correct third of the green is important.
Hole 11 Par 3
215 | 193 | 166 | 152 | 70 yards
An island of green surrounded by the desert awaits you on this par 3. A spectacular looking hole the desert really shouldn't come into play except for with an extreme miss-hit.
There is plenty of room to miss to the right and short, just stay away from the left side where a pair of deep bunkers sit with the desert encroaching closely beside them. With another extremely elevated tee the most difficult part of this hole may be selecting the right club.
The back 4 tees all offer a relatively close tee shot experience save for the 50 yards that separates the tees.
After teeing off have fun riding another one of the Wolf Creek roller coasters as you descend down into the bowl where this green sits.
From the forward tees however, this hole looks completely different. This tee sits down in the grass bowl and is but a small pitch from the green.
Another 40 yard deep green that slopes back to front can lead to some long putting opportunities.
Hole 12 Par 5
560 | 544 | 490 | 471 | 421 yards
Expansive tee shots are the norm by now but this is another tremendous view of the hole you are about to play. The elevated back tees give you a clear vantage point to all this hole has in store.
Water on the left is the most pressing problem off the tee. The best drive will be along the lines of the carts in this photo. Missing right on a well struck shot can find the desert or at least find you blocked slightly on your next shot by the desert mounds down that side.
A beautiful view of the hole is ahead as you descend from the tees down into the fairway.
Your second shot is more intimidating that the tee shot. The water still in play down the left and the desert on the right squeezes down the appearance of the fairway as you play to towards the green. The widest landing area for your second shot puts you about 130 yards from the green for your approach.
Anything hit down the right side, while staying safe from the water can end up with a side hill stance and your views obstructed by the slopes here. The sand that frames the end of the water is still a ways from the green. That sits about 60 yards short of the green.
Your approach on your third shot should be fairly easy. The green is elevate to protect against an easy long second shot reaching. Other than the elevation there are not other hazards around the green. This green is massive. Its deepest length is almost straight in line with the fairway, making it an inviting target for long hitters.
Woe to those on the opposite end of the green from where the flag is though. With a length of over 50 yards you better have a big swing to be able to putt across this green.
A look back up the hole shows the elevation change from the tee to the fairway. Most of the hole plays relatively flat until your approach the raised green.
One of the other things to mention about the course are the beautiful desert flowers that were in bloom when I was here. I would highly recommend playing the course in April as not only was the course in great shape but the weather was perfect and the flowers were in bloom!
