The private, members-only Desert Forest Golf Club first opened its doors in 1962. Robert "Red" Lawrence designed the 7,011 yard course that has been consistenly rated in the "Top 100 golf courses" of the country since the rating system was established. With the natural beauty of the desert terrain guiding the design and construction, its tight fairways and lightning fast greens offer a challenge to the level of the golfer. There is a substantial elevation change from the clubhouse to the highest point of the course, approximately 400 feet, that compliments the gentle, undulating layout.
