Carved from an ancient ocean, the Shark has created a course that captures the essence of the outback. This challenging, yet fair design features an abundance of sand, pockets of wildflowers, nine lakes and panoramic vistas – unmatched anywhere in the Coachella Valley. This Greg Norman gem is Audubon Certified.

Course
True to the "Shark’s" aggressive design philosophy, this course demands precision across a sprawling, bunker-heavy landscape that mimics the Australian Sandbelt. It’s a peaceful yet provocative test of golf, set against a panoramic desert horizon that remains one of the most unique environments in PGA WEST.
Hole 1
The fairway narrows the longer you hit your drive. Avoid deep bunkers on the left and right. Remember to enjoy the view.
