EL PASO COUNTRY CLUB

The Chihuahuan Desert provides an unlikely canvas for championship golf, but this 1917 Donald Ross design proves that arid terrain and strategic architecture make perfect partners. Ross's original routing threads through dramatic elevation changes and natural arroyos, demanding precise club selection as desert winds swirl unpredictably across firm, fast-running fairways. The par-4 16th epitomizes the experience—a downhill dogleg where distance control matters more than power, with the Franklin Mountains framing your approach to a severely sloped green that punishes the overly aggressive.
