Probably the best public in Arizona, wide enough, interesting green complexes and surroundings, lots of runoffs and myriads of ways to play shots. Definitely not as punishing as most desert golf, so it’s a great change of pace from just about everything else.

RTJ II desert golf. Fun course, tough driving course some tight landing areas. As with most desert golf miss the fairway and rough and your ball is likely gone. Nice views interesting holes. 18th hole seems kinda out of place from rest of course…

Fantastically conditioned, very nice desert course. Interesting quick greens room off the tee. Fantastic service but it’s a little spendy. Round of 3 drinks (doubles) was $114. Definitely worth playing if you get an opportunity
