FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Desert/Lakes and what to expect.
Desert/Lakes is regarded as a strategically complex layout. With a slope of 126.0, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 71.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5533 yards. The back tees extend to 6856.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 71.4 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 6856.0 yards at maximum length, distance control plays a central role in scoring.
Desert/Lakes is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 126.0 and yardage reaching 6856.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
