The Canyons is one of the finest courses in the Desert. The 18th, a 456 yard par 4 over an arroyo, is one of the 2 most scenic finishing holes in the Desert along with Stone Eagle and one of the 3 toughest along with Stone Eagle and the Quarry. I played the day the course re-opened after it was closed for most of the summer and it was in pristine condition--perfectly manicured fairways, greens (which were suprisingly quick for summer bermuda)and bunkers. Play it if you have the chance!
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
