This is a flat but distinct course with a theme as “desert & canyon.
There are 27 holes, three 9-hole A, B & C Course. The A Course, the
“Forest Nine” features tree-lined fairways that can be very tight in places,
while the B Course “River Nine” is highlighted by heavily undulating greens.
The C Course has the feel of a desert-style course that the sand dunes
along the arid riverbed coming into play. The combination of B&C is
the best 18 holes. Some greens are sloping too much but bunkers, bush,
water hazards and natural small hills are strategically placed, so it
is interesting to play. Visually desert views are spread. Due to an abundance
of natural sand dunes, you feel like playing in Arizona or Nevada famous
for desert areas rather than in California. The golf club plans to extend
into 54 holes in a future.

Both sides of the narrow face waters, so the tee and second shots require
accuracy. Especially the tee shot is demanding and its landing area is very
narrow with a left fairway bunker 255 yards off the tee. The green is small
guarded by a bunker on the left and a creek and a slope on the right. |

area on the tee shot is limited due to a small hill some 230 yards off the
