Designer Notes

A short drive from downtown Las Vegas, this dramatic layout is anything but flat and dull. The course plays into canyons with cliffs towering above, on a plateau with a breathtaking view of the city, and meanders along an old riverbed.

An extensive greenside bunker and green renovation was completed in 2017.
