There are tremendous undulation and mounding on the course along with many forced carries and water hazards. Those looking for a true desert experience; the course will not disappoint.

Scenic Hole Fact: Hole #17 on TPC Stadium, known as Alcatraz is one of the toughest finishing holes in the city. The tee box sits up high so you’ll feel the strong winds. The green is large; however, the lake the surrounds the green make it look tiny. Lee Trevino made his famous hole-in-one in 1987.
