aguaro
Canyon is set in Scottsdale, Arizona and was my first
venture into designing a desert golf course. It was
released in July of 1993. While JNSEs limited
terrain features make such a design difficult at best,
the desert theme is probably one of my favorites because
of its harsh beauty. To simulate desert wash in JNSE,
I utilized a method of terrain mixing. To play Saguaro
Canyon well, you basically need to hit your shots straight.
Anything off the fairway and into the desert can mean
a big score. More details on Saguaro Canyon can be found
in the text file that is included with the course.
The 4th hole is nestled along the canyon.
