East Course (9 holes) An Arnold Palmer design, this
classic resort style layout features an intriguing mix of 3 par three's;
3 par four's; and 3 par five's. Low scores can be had, however accuracy
is vital as water is in play on 5 of 9 holes. The signature hole is #8--a
203- yard par 3 over water to an elevated green surrounded by bunkers.
Par is an excellent score here.
South Course (9 holes) Rolling greens and a challenging
more traditional layout redesigned by Arnold Palmer highlights the South
Course. The 4th hole is a dramatic dogleg left where the tee shot must
be long and accurate leaving a short to medium iron approach, which must
be carried over water.
North Course (9 holes) After a summer of renovation,
the North Course has just recently been made available for play. With
mature tree-lined fairways and beautifully manicured bunkers, the North
Course offers a stiff test of golf calling for the use of every club in
the bag. Playable par five's and challenging par three's are highlighted
by the 3rd hole. With the McDowell Mountains acting as a perfect backdrop,
this new par 3 stretches to 232 yards from the championship tees making
it a hole to remember.
