Mission Hills North - Gary Player Signature Course

About Mission Hills North - Gary Player Signature Course

The first and only Gary Player course in the desert, Mission Hills North Player 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. GOLF Magazine praises this remarkable course as being "difficult, well-designed and joyful" and adds that it "may be the best golf course in the Palm Springs area." Well suited for golfers of all skill levels and renowned for its environmentally careful integration with the desert landscape, 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.
