For the Daring Shot-Takers
Delight in the sheer drama of teeing off at Geronimo, which is considered to be the most visually intimidating course at Desert Mountain. Fluctuating elevations, deep ravines, and broad fairways make for consistently challenging play as the course winds its way through nature and over stunning desert plateaus. The excitement begins at the first hole, a 570-yard par-5 that drops to a broad fairway and demands a powerful second shot to get into attack position. Don’t let the gentility of the first nine holes deceive you — the back nine are a legitimate test of your skills.
COURSE FACT
Described by Jack Nicklaus as “the strong-looking course,” Geronimo has a powerful finish with a par-3 that requires a lengthy tee shot to a sloping green, right in front of the area’s joint clubhouse.

Set Your Sights High
Geronimo’s target fairways and island greens give every golfer more opportunities to “play it in the air.” While the course can look intimidating from the tee, Jack Nicklaus included a safe approach on many holes for more conservative players who want to avoid the forced carry. Shorter par-4 holes like #8 and #14 have very challenging greens that either have multiple tiers or are much deeper than they appear. Elevation changes create blind tee shots and blind approaches to the greens, so you must rely on your sight lines, distances, and the helpful flyover video below to note what lies ahead.
