The top course on this stretch of river: a hilly, demanding Druzisky layout with river views and a full clubhouse. It is also the dearest, at $137-$169 with cart in winter and spring. Locals pay much less.

Local knowledge
- This is the priciest round on the north board. A local ZIP code saves about $50, so snowbirds with an address in the area should ask whether their winter address qualifies.
- Rates for Sep 21-Nov 19 sit at the top band: the fresh post-overseed course costs as much as March.
- Arizona time, so the tee sheet runs an hour ahead of Laughlin's casino clocks from November to mid-March.
