Golfcourse.com Review: This resort made "GOLF Magazine's" list of "Gold Medal Resorts in '98, and has two outstanding 18 hole courses. The courses are continually alternated, allowing 1 to be kept private while the other is used by hotel guests. These desert courses are well maintained, and the scenery is breathtaking. The natural desert terrain has been left in place on the sides of the fairways, and in many cases, in the middle of the fairways as well, so accurate shots are required. Both courses provide challenges and enjoyment for all skill levels of golfer. "GOLF Magazine" rated the North Course 91st, and the South Course 53rd in the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" in 1998.
