Desert Style Golf Courses

Hot and arid, these courses offer a special pleasure. The lush green teeing grounds, fairways and greens are an oasis in a sea of sand.  Surrounded by immense sand, cacti, bushes, rocks and palm trees, many feature lakes as well. They are typically found throughout the Southwest.
