furnace creek golf course印象

Just being in the middle of Death Vally makes this course unique. It is a lot of fun and can be quite a challenge on certain holes if you play from the back tees. It is in great shape and the layout (especially on the front nine) has been shaped and contoured to add interest.The desert back drop is breath taking. You need to carry a lot of water with you as there is no potable water on the course. I also found the green fees reasonable given the quality of the course, the remote location and the fact that it is a tourist destination.

This is a fairly standard American golf course. We played at start of April and it was in pretty good condition. The greens could have been better but it is a course in the middle of nowhere. It is great for the novelty of playing well below sea level. I noticed no difference in distance to ball travelled. It is good value for money if you get the twilight rate (5 hours before sundown).

On a trip to Las Vegas and the surrounding area for my best friend's 50th birthday, we drove up to see Death Valley, stayed at the Furnace Creek Ranch (see separate review) and took the opportunity to get in a round of golf at the hottest, lowest golf course in the world! The course is pretty good and well-maintained (especailly as there's not much water out there!). We played at about 7.30am, when it was still cool enough to be enjoyable. Interesting 'hazards' were a family of coyotes on the first 6 holes. If you're from the UK, they're about the size of a fox and just trot away well before you get anywhere near them - so nothing to worry about! The best thing about the course though is the backdrop - fairly lush green trees, contrasting the desert & mountains - superb! Note - we tried to book in advance from the UK and found it difficult, but there was plenty of availability when we arrived. I don't recall exactly how much we paid, but the charge for 2 rounds, clubs & buggy hire felt ok at the time. If you're there and you like golf, why not?

Huge amounts of water are needed to keep this golf course going, and they do a fantastic job too. I was surprised by the quality of the fairways and greens, and overall it was a very enjoyable round. I can also say I've played the 'lowest' golf course in the world, which is just great!

Course can only be played from 6:30am to 2:00pm during summer season. Breathtaking views and a course in very good condition which is surprising given the golf is in the middle of Death Valley. Green fee is more than affordable and definitely worth it. We played the course in the early morning and were lucky to see some wildlife.

The lowest golf course in the world - and the smallest pro shop and shuttiest bar/restaurant. Marginally interesting to those who do not play golf, riveting to those who do.It's so lush and green. For a moment it's easy to forget exactly where you are.

flat, fairly open and very easy course suitable for all ages and all levels of play, just hit them straight

We had extra time at Death Valley, so we signed up for an early tee time. The course was good, but not great. However, playing in Death Valley was really lots of fun. The course is in an oasis, and the views are great. Playing in the morning was enjoyable, since we could enjoy the day w/o getting overheated!

Played a golf tournament in the middle of the summer at the hottest place in the US. The course is very nice and green and very challenging. Temperature hit 118 during the afternoon and at 200+ feet below sea level, the ball does not go as far as you would like.The pool at the hotel was a welcome attraction!

Just finished playing in a 3 day scramble event for the thrid year in a row. Course was in its best shape of the three. You can tell the staff really worked on it this fall. Greens rolled nicely. Fariways were in great shape as was the rough. Course has some interesting holes considering the topography is flat and in a limited space. Don't judge the course by the small practice green or the sparse driving range. We saw plenty of coyotes and road runners on all days. You cannot beat the views looking down fairways with the massive rock mountains in the backgroound.
