Course: Desert Mountain
Designer: John Buckley
JNSE: John Buckley
Desert Mountain is located somewhere in Arizona. While there actually may be
a real Desert Mountain Golf Course somewhere out west, this is not an attempt
to copy that course. This is my own feeling on what a desert course might
look like.
My thanks have to go out to Mark Willett, Bill Permenter, Lee Ritze, Ted
Maiden and a host of other people whose trees, rocks and background I
borrowed to make Desert Mountain. Although some of the art I did myself, it
in no way compares to what these fine gentlemen have turned out over the
years.
I have only uploaded this course to Accolade, but since I don't have access to
any other BBS's that might handle JNSE courses, if anyone is so inclined, be
my guest and upload it elsewhere, provided of course, that you don't change
anything, and this message stays intact so the above mentioned artists can get
credit for their work.
Now if you don't mind, I would like to take you on a quick tour of Desert
Mountain to give you an idea of what it's like.
1 402/Par 4
Dogleg left that then goes to the right. Trees that sit to the far
right could block your second shot if you're not careful.
2 440/Par4
This hole requires some decisions. Use either a Three wood or a bit
less driver to avoid going too far left. An outcropping of rocks could
hinder a second shot played too far left.
3 386/Par 4
Fairly short Par Four. But if the wind is in your face, consider
aiming right and taking a longer second shot. Drive must carry at
least 225 in the air to clear desert.
4 213/Par 3
Just a deep bunker left marks the only real problem on this long
three. Grab some cold water from the fountain if you're thirsty.
5 602/Par 5
This long Five plays left then right. Bunker is on the left and trees
cover both sides. The green rises from front to back and the area
behind the green is shallow.
6 453/Par 4
This mid distance dogleg left plays to a semi island green. If you are
a hooker, the water will come into play. Hitting the green ensures
almost a certain birdie with the bowl shaped green to aid you.
7 173/Par 3
This short Par Three has water wrapping around the green and a deep
bunker guards the front.
8 594/Par 5
Dogleg right with a double split fairway. We wanted to make sure we
left as much of the desert as possible intact. Unless you're long off
the tee, you're drive should not find the only bunker on the entire
hole.
9 429/Par 4
Stay right on the drive and don't be short on the approach and it's a
piece of cake! Seriously, the lake guards the left and a deep grass
bunker sits right of the green.
10 488/Par 5
Should be able to hit this green in two. Clear the large bunker and
the desert and the buzzards, and you've got it made.
11 376/Par 4
Aim just left of the palm trees for your best shot at the green.
Birdie is possible. Watch out for the odd shaped green. If you land
on the wrong side it could ruin your day!
12 402/Par 4
This tricky little Par four requires the player to decide whether he
or she wants to go left or right. Left requires preciseness in both
accuracy and distance. It is a shorter trip. Right means a longer ride
but it's much safer.
13 202/Par 3
One of the prettier holes. Lots of water, lots of flowers and of
course, lots of sand. Water and bunkers guard the green and a pin on
the front left could be trouble.
14 448/Par 4
Don't overpower the tee shot, and keep your fairway wood handy. That's
about all I'll say!
15 309/Par 4
A birdie opportunity! Not! This little Par four really requires
precise aim. Three cacti split the fairway. Too far left and you'll
find water. Too far right and you'll find sand. Precise aim and
you'll find yourself with a three.
16 445/Par 4
Dogleg right requires a long second shot to a narrow green. Keep the
ball in the middle. (Some words of wisdom there, eh?)
17 133/Par 3
Don't feel like you've been teleported to TPC Sawgrass. I borrowed
the idea of the famed 17th for my 17th. Island green is quite a large
target, but beware of swirling winds.
18 581/Par 5
This closing monster is a dogleg left, dogleg right with a few more
things thrown in. How about a major sand bunker in the middle of the
fairway and two ponds in the middle of that! Just follow the aiming
ball and you'll end up right on the green where you belong.
That's it. I hope you like my first real attempt at designing a course and
my first offering to the Gods of Golf. Like I said earlier, you won't find me
on Prodigy, Delphi, Genie, America Online, CompuServe or any other Net. But
if you like the course, or even if you didn't, stick a 25 cent stamp on a post
card and send it to:

See ya round the clubhouse!
