About this course
Desert Hills Golf Course is a municipal facility in Yuma, Arizona, operated by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. It opened in 1973 on terrain that is unusually hilly for the flat Yuma desert, giving the layout noticeable elevation changes among rolling fairways and bunkers. The par-72 course stretches to roughly 6,800 yards from the back tees, with Bermuda fairways and greens suited to the desert climate. In its history the course hosted professional events including Ben Hogan Tour and Nike Tour stops. Desert Hills is open to public play year-round except Christmas Day, with a pro shop, practice areas, and a restaurant on site.

Rams Hill
Borrego Springs, CA · 104 mi away
Rams Hill is a desert golf course in Borrego Springs, California, in the Anza-Borrego Desert near the Santa Rosa Mountains. Built in the early 1980s as a Ted Robinson design, the course was redesigned in 2007 by Tom Fazio, who reshaped the bunkering and routed holes up and back down a rocky ridgeline. The par-72 layout plays 7,232 yards from the tips with a slope rating of 141, and five sets of tees suit a range of skill levels. Elevation changes throughout the round open up views of the surrounding mountains and valley floor. The finishing hole is a par 5 that plays downhill to a lake-lined fairway before an uphill approach to a bunkered green.
