NYC- those desert courses are beautiful, aren't they? I got to play several in the Vegas area back in the convention days. I remember holes that were so punishing if you went off the fairway...you hit nothing but brown, rocky desert and the ball would bounce 8 different ways and into oblivion. It was like watching the ball under the hat game on the video boards at The Bank.

They are amazing. I played two while I was out there. The stadium course and a cool little executive course with a bunch of short par fours that you dare not pull driver on.

The stadium course was surprisingly somewhat open from the regular people tees.  Reaching those landing areas from the pro tees presents a different challenge of course. Quite a difference.  I only found myself in wacky unplayable lies a few times, but the layout had plenty of ways to punish bad shots or poor approach angles. The exec course was a different story. Less forgiving, but manageable due to shorter distances.  

Playing Hidden Hills again today with my cousin. I'm determined to conquer that front nine.  Think I'll leave the driver in the bag and hit hybrids off the tee until the turn.

I'm still good for 10/22 if anyone else here wants to join.
