The newer of two Fazio designed courses at Primm Valley, the Desert Course seamlessly intertwines its desert setting with manicured, deep green fairways and sparkling water features.
Like the older Lakes Course, the Desert Course was recently named to Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses You Can Play. The Desert Course offers narrower fairways and craggier surroundings than the Lakes Course. Fazio also relies less on water in order to focus on the stark desert vistas seen from most tee boxes. Shadows can cause havoc during the afternoons, but if you play late enough you can catch a cherry sunset between the purple-gray mountains. The fairway of the par 4, 473-yard tenth slopes downward. The green, however, is severely sloped uphill with sand protecting it to the right.
