 The
Indiana course at Desert Springs is the first and only desert
course in Europe and has been built to the full USGA
specifications and quality standards of the now famous desert
courses of Arizona and California. The contrast between the
beautifully prepared and manicured playing areas and the acrid
yet vividly coloured desert captures the essence of why golf
is different at Desert Springs. Eventually there will be two
courses on this site where Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone
made "A Fistful of Dollars" and a host of other western films.
It is not that Desert Springs is tough, but it fits in
perfectly in this area of rugged sandstone rock.

The Course presents unforgettable views and
takes golf to a new level of excellence so far as design and
construction is concerned. The fairways have been kept
generous to ensure the less impressive golfer can enjoy his
game while taking in the landscape and wonderful views that
encompass the Indiana. However, when stretched to its limits
the course has been constructed to test even the world's best
players. Designed by Peter McEvoy, Desert Springs was opened
in 2000 and one of his main features are the many tee
positions to make a more accommodating challenge depending on
the golfers standard. Another feature is that every hole seems
to have a hazard that is brought in to play such as the
springs, the water-courses, dry river beds, rocks and make
sure you watch out for those prickly cactus areas! You might
even spot one of the numerous armadillos that roam the course.
The bunkers are strategically placed to test the skills of
even the most accomplished golfer particularly from the
championship tees. The course is a good mixture of holes and
is always kept in superb condition with the fairways being
immaculate and the greens being some of the finest you will
play. You must play this if you are in the area and you should
let Med Golf book your tee time to avoid disappointment.

 The
Club House On arrival there's ample parking and a
well-stocked pro shop. There are the usual practice areas and
a clubhouse with all the required changing facilities. You can
enjoy a drink and a meal after your round and take in the
spectacular views. The course can be walked but many take
advantage of the buggies particularly if the weather is kind.
