Characteristics:  This resort, which was named by "GOLF Magazine" to its 1998 list of "Silver Medal Resorts," has three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The Canyon Course is considered the most difficult. The Ridge Course is the next hardest and then the Hill Course. These are typical desert-target courses, featuring many changes in elevation, plus elevated tee boxes and greens. "Golf Digest" rated the Ridge/Canyon course as the 8th "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996, and the 13th "Best in State" course for 1995-96. The resort was also listed among "Silver Medal Resorts" by "GOLF Magazine" in 1996. For homes located on the golf course please use this link La Paloma

 

 


A 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Design golf course is the centerpiece of the 800 acre property of La Paloma.

To play a round of golf at La Paloma is to experience the desert in its finest form. There is not one water hazard. The natural desert, which lies just beyond the green, is all the hazard needed. Great care has been taken to preserve the indigenous vegetation and natural wildlife habitats. Coyotes, bobcats, rabbits and quail are among the many natives which call La Paloma home.

 

The three 9-hole courses known as Canyon, Hill and Ridge are named for their diverse landscapes. Each offers an innovative design with thrilling play for all range of handicaps. There are four to five tees per hole varying as much as 80 to 120 yards. Multiple pin placements on the green continually change the character and difficulty of each hole.
