Temptation is a big part of my design philosophy. The course is divided into three sets of nine, each with a par of 36. People driving along Rampart Boulevard can catch a glimpse of Desperado's most distinctive holes. The tee shot off this 400-yard, par 4 hole must carry an arroyo. Shots hit too long may roll through the fairway and into the desert.
Second shots have to carry another arroyo to the green.
It's a gorgeous hole that also demands precision on each shot. Same goes for the 337-yard, par 4 seventh. Miller must have had a Grinchy grin when he named this hole Ricochet. A steep arroyo faces golfers off the tee as well as on their second shots. Balls hit into that arroyo may still be ricocheting.
