Saguaro, the newest of the two, was designed by Bill Coore and
Ben Crenshaw. It is a desert golf experience unlike any other. Integrating
design elements not commonly found in the desert, the course is
built for walking and has more in common with older, more traditional
courses where greens are close to tees and the course follows the
natural movement of the land. To assist those choosing to
walk, battery powered Speedcarts are available to transport your
clubs.
