How difficult is the golf course?
Ours is a true par 72 - 6,800 yard course. As is common on
most desert golf courses, the fairways are narrow and challenging.

make it very interesting. Our signature hole is waiting for
you to sacrifice at least one ball to the local gods that
live in the water! It is fun, demanding and pleasure to play.
