Shadow Creek Golf Course course breakdown
Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes Shadow Creek Golf Course a challenge?
The golf course has some tight landing areas, with Tom Fazio shaping the course to include pinch points and have tree-lined holes that resemble more traditional American golf.
The putting surfaces are a good size, but the greens are very fast, and there are plenty of slopes to stymie players who go deep. There's plenty of water in play, especially for a desert course.
