Signature Holes
One of the most demanding challenges at Desert Canyon is the 15th hole, a par 4 that epitomizes desert golf at its finest. Featuring a dogleg design and considerable distance, it's ranked as the toughest hole on the course. Success here requires strategic thinking and precise club selection to stay on the fairway and set yourself up for a par.
But don’t relax just yet - hole 16, a par 3, presents its own challenge with a steep downhill approach and bunkers tightly guarding the green. Its deceptive layout makes it just as tricky as the 15th, keeping golfers on their toes.
