Signature holes

#18 - 502-yard par 5 with water right and out of bounds left (course site)
#17 - 353-yard par 4 with a small fairway; bailing right leaves a blind approach over bushes (course site)
#6 - 270-yard par 4, drivable if you clear the tree guarding the right side (course site)

Local knowledge

#9 plays as a 239-yard par 4, uphill with a bunker in front, so it is a real birdie chance. The back nine is longer and harder.
Monday (men's club), Tuesday (9-hole groups) and Wednesday (ladies' club) mornings are taken up by winter club play Nov-Mar. Call ahead and expect afternoons to be easier to get.
Pro shop goods are tax-free because the course is on tribal land.
Reviews of conditions are mixed. A 2023 TripAdvisor reviewer found burnt fairways and thin greens, so ask about conditions after the October overseed before booking early November.
This is the course USGA lists as 'Cocopah Golf Resort' (par 73, 5,737 yards). The separate 9-hole Cocopah Rio Colorado course in Somerton closed in 2023.
