This resort which was formerly known as the Pointe Hilton South Mountain Golf Club completed a three year 1 million enhancement project in 1998 These changes include the expansion of the landing areas and enhanced playability of the course On some holes tee boxes were moved back and bunkers were added to increase yardage and excitement in the layout The front nine still has water coming into play on four holes while the back nine is a desert target course with wider fairways than in the past The greens are medium speed and protected by only a few sand bunkers The signature hole is 12 a 538 yard par 5 requiring an approach shot to an elevated green protected by deep bunkers You can make the green in two shots but if you are short on the second shot you will pay the price
