Tee shots must carry over a patch of desert to the fairway, but then the irrigated turf usually extends all the way to the putting surface. While the landing areas are fairly generous, there s not much rough to stop the ball. Desert transition areas, which loom everywhere beyond the rough, consist primarily of dirt with some shrubbery and rocks and constitute the main trouble on the course. Usually players find wayward balls and can play recovery shots. Wind also is often a factor (especially in the afternoon) on this very flat, exposed layout. Apache Creek Golf Club boasts a nice mix of holes. Water, in the form of a creek and a couple of small lakes, comes into play on several holes. The signature hole at Apache Creek Golf Course is an island green par-3. The club takes pride in its well maintained greens.
