The Reserve

The Santa Rosa Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for this desert target-style layout that demands precision over power, with elevated tees offering sweeping valley views that can distract from the task at hand. Tom Fazio's routing threads through natural washes and rock outcroppings, creating strategic angles where wayward shots disappear into native desert vegetation faster than your playing partner's excuses. What sets this track apart is how it embraces the Coachella Valley's raw beauty without overwhelming golfers—each hole feels carved from the landscape rather than imposed upon it.
