Tee Box 1

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Tee Box 1 without battling the elements?

Focus on spring (March-May) or fall (October-November) for ideal conditions. You'll find comfortable temperatures and the course is in prime shape, avoiding the brutal summer heat or the occasional chilly desert winter mornings.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Tee Box 1, especially for a first-timer?

The elevation changes and deceptive desert winds are your real adversaries here. We recommend taking an extra club on uphill shots and paying close attention to the wind flags, as it can swirl unexpectedly between the canyons.

Is Tee Box 1 worth the green fee, and what should I expect to pay?

Absolutely, it's a splurge but offers incredible value for the experience. Expect green fees to range from $150-$250 depending on the season and time of day, but the dramatic views and immaculate conditions make it a memorable round.

What's the one hole at Tee Box 1 everyone talks about, and why?

Hole 14, a par-3 dropping dramatically from a high tee box to a green guarded by a natural rock arroyo, is truly unforgettable. The panoramic desert views from up there are breathtaking, but don't let them distract you from the tricky club selection.

How's the pace of play at Tee Box 1, and what amenities should I take advantage of?

Pace of play is generally excellent, as they manage tee times well; plan for about 4.5 hours. Make sure to grab a post-round drink at the clubhouse patio - the views of the 18th green and the surrounding mountains are fantastic, and the local craft beer selection is solid.
