FIREROCK CC

The Sonoran Desert's natural arroyos and boulder outcroppings create a stunning backdrop for this Gary Panks design, where elevated tees offer panoramic views of the Valley and distant mountain ranges. Strategic bunkering and undulating greens demand precise iron play, particularly on the par-3 16th where a forced carry over a desert wash separates pretenders from players. Desert golf purists will appreciate how seamlessly the routing follows the natural contours, never feeling forced despite the challenging terrain.
