From The Tee Standing on the back tee box feels like standing on an elevated stage. This converted par 4 was changed from a par 5 when the clubhouse was built in 2000.
From The Fairway
On The Green The approach shot is difficult due to an elevated, rather small green. Utilizing an extra club to this false front green will be necessary.
From The Tee Favor the right side of this huge, undulating green. Any shot hit on right side of the green will funnel towards the center of the green. Hole location will dictate club selection. Hitting tee shot over the green is not a viable option.

From The Tee The toughest hole on the Palmer according to the course raters. The only par 4 on the front 9 over 400 yards.
From The Fairway A blind tee shot aimed to a downhill fairway will leave a 2nd shot over a pond from a downhill lie.The further right of the fairway, the flatter the lie for your approach shot.
From The Tee The second blind tee shot in as many holes but a more gratuitous landing area.
From The Fairway
On The Green A straight tee shot to a plateau fairway will leave an approach shot to a wide, shallow green that is uphill. Be cautious of the river on the left side of fairway and O-B on the right.
From The Tee One of Mr. Palmer’s favorite holes on the course. You won’t want to necessarily use a driver unless you can fade the ball around the dogleg-right.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green lies at the back of a box canyon so be accurate with the approach shot.
From The Tee The most visually intimidating par 3 on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green ach shot will be necessary to carry a canyon that’s short, left and right of the green. Get your camera ready, one of the more picturesque place atop the highest point on the course.
From The Tee Like #5, a 100 foot elevation change between tee box and fairway.
From The Fairway The first half of this hole demands hitting the fairway as both sides are surrounded by canyons until the hole opens out about 200 yards from the green.
On The Green The pond on the right dictates a player’s fortitude to hit the green in two or lay up left of the green to an angle that doesn’t require carrying the pond.
From The Tee The flattest par 3 on the course with a firm green makes the tee shot harder than it looks. The prevailing wind makes this hole a lot longer than the yardage.
From The Tee This may seem like an innocent short, drivable par 4, but the topography is all uphill to a well protected green. The shallow green atop a steep hill makes the approach shot hard to judge the actual distance and can be difficult to hold the green.

From The Tee A magnificent view from atop the elevated tee box.
From The Fairway Accurate tee shots will land in a narrowing fairway between fairway bunkers on both sides.
On The Green The second shot is demanding and misleading as the surrounding areas around the fairway block prevailing winds, however the green is exposed to these conditions. Aiming towards right side of green is advised.
From The Tee A visually appealing view from atop the tee box
From The Fairway
On The Green The elevation change from tee to green is usually 1-2 clubs less. It is necessary to carry the green as the ball will not roll onto green normally.
From The Tee One of the best finishing holes to play in the desert. Elevated tees to a very demanding tee shot with houses on the left and a fairway that slopes into the pond.
From The Fairway Staying on the left side of the fairway will yield an easier approach shot to a green surrounded by water short, right, and beyond the green.
