The
first and only Gary Player course in the desert, the Mission Hills
North Course is designed for golfers of all levels and preserves
and enhances the natural beauty of the desert environment. The course
features 20 acres of lakes, four waterfalls and beautiful landscaping.
The Mission Hills North Course has proved to be a popular one with
both public and resort golfers. It is used as an alternative to
the Pete Dye Course and is generally easier for the average golfer
to play. Player's design makes extensive use of water, with lakes
coming into play on 10 holes. On the par-5 11th, water is reachable
on all three shots before reaching the green. Three of the course's
par-4s - the fifth, eighth and 12th - all feature water in some
way. The 11th is the toughest of the par-5s, though a golfer must
also be careful on the third hole - which also has a lake in the
fairway - and the 17th, with a lake near the green. Both nines end
with demanding par-4s with water. The 18th requires a good drive
over a lake to a fairway that doglegs to the right.
