Course Design
The Indiana Course is an exciting 18-hole golf course with a par of 72. It’s inspired by the desert courses in the American Southwest. The course has wide fairways, smartly placed bunkers, and big greens that are well-protected. At 6,159 meters long from the back tees, it provides a good challenge for experienced golfers while still being fair for those with higher handicaps. Each hole is surrounded by rocky formations, dry riverbeds, and native desert plants, making it a beautiful place to play.
Signature Hole
The signature hole at Desert Springs is the par-3 14th, known as “Tiburon.” It demands a precise shot over a desert arroyo to a small green guarded by bunkers. Another standout is the par-5 18th, a true risk-reward finisher with water in play, perfect for closing out a competitive round.
