PAINTED DUNES GC

The high desert terrain of far West Texas delivers a stark, beautiful test where elevation changes of 200 feet create dramatic playing angles across sun-baked fairways. Wind is your constant companion here, turning what looks like a manageable approach into a two-club guessing game, especially on the exposed back nine where the Franklin Mountains provide a stunning backdrop. The natural washes and desert vegetation frame generous landing areas, but the putting surfaces demand respect—these greens run true and fast under the relentless El Paso sun.
