The front nine is predominately a desert layout with one lake. Coyotes and other wildlife are seen frequently, thus the name Coyote Lakes.
Hole number 6 on the front nine. “THE RIDGE” is very unique and memorable. It is a par five that plays only 549 yards from the back tee but 100 yards from the front edge of this elevated green is a 12 foot tall rock wall. The wall is intimidating. Many golfers have failed to clear this wall trying to go for this par 5 green in two. Many a round has been spoiled by failing to manage this hole.
