About the Course
From 1997 to 2006, this Summerlin course hosted a decade of professional tournaments including the Champions Tour and PGA TOUR Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, drawing major champions like John Daly, Hale Irwin, and Jim Furyk. It maintains recognition in Golf Digest's '50 Best Golf Courses for Great Service in North America.' The course weaves through desert arroyos, with the signature 2nd hole 'Canyon' serving as the desert tribute to TPC Sawgrass's 17th—an island green requiring a near-200-yard carry over canyons to reach a green surrounded by barrancas. The 439-yard 13th 'Death Valley' presents the ultimate risk-reward: dare to fly the canyon or play conservative? The 14th 'Steeple Hole' demands aiming at a distant church steeple off the tee—choosing the right side leaves a 100-yard approach, while left of the steeple forces a 125-to-175-yard shot over a ridge. The par-71, 7,016-yard layout perfectly merges desert wildness with strategic precision.
