A true desert course, Arthur Hills
has incorporated natural rock formations,
ravines and a desert wash as strategic
components of play.
The first six holes offer a variety
of elevations, climbing more than
1,000 feet through the Santa Rosa
Mountains before tumbling back down
into the desert. Tee boxes carved
into natural rock outcroppings, fairways
contoured into the mountainous terrain,
and greens tucked back into natural
coves present a most challenging golf
experience.
The latter half of the course returns
to a more traditional layout of rolling
hills and valleys, water hazards and
a couple of long par 5's which continue
to test the golfer's skill.
Signature Hole Comments:
Number 6 is a 505-yard par 4 providing
a breathtaking view of the Coachella
Valley. Due to the 100-foot drop from
tee to fairway, accuracy rather than
distance will prove more effective
for positioning the second shot.
