Absolutely the finest maintaned and perhaps the most beautiful courses I have ever played - better than Aviara and Pelican by a considerable margin. Certainly on the "Bucket List".

Great chance to dream a bit and get throughly challenged. Nice to use a locker between plates that said "Michael Jordan" and "jack Nicklaus!"

The Canyons is one of the finest courses in the Desert. The 18th, a 456 yard par 4 over an arroyo, is one of the 2 most scenic finishing holes in the Desert along with Stone Eagle and one of the 3 toughest along with Stone Eagle and the Quarry. I played the day the course re-opened after it was closed for most of the summer and it was in pristine condition--perfectly manicured fairways, greens (which were suprisingly quick for summer bermuda)and bunkers. Play it if you have the chance!

Beg, borrow, steal to get close to a member to play this track! I was lucky enough to get on as a guest for marshalling the LPGA Samsung World Championship. It is so perfect the fairways and rough look like Astroturf. Not a mark on them! No weeds! No "odd" grass! The scenery is fantastic. I have one hole on my laptop as wallpaper!
