Although the dogleg-left 6th hole, a daunting par 4, is the course’s No. 1 handicap hole, No. 18 is without question its signature hole. A par 5, the hole’s island green is surrounded by Poppie’s Pond, named after former tournament director Terry Wilcox, whose grandchildren call him Poppie. Back in 1988, Amy Alcott collected her second Kraft Nabisco Championship victory and celebrated by leaping into Poppie’s Pond, much to the surprise of the crowd. After jumping into the pond once again in 1991 when she won the championship for a third time, an annual tradition soon began. Every year since 1994, tournament winners have followed suit by leaping into the pond, oftentimes alongside their caddies, friends and family members. The victory leap typically occurs as a result of sheer joy upon overcoming one of the most challenging courses on the LPGA circuit, often rated the Coachella Valley’s top course. This year the course, which features tight fairways, fast yet fair greens Thailand in just her second tournament appearance of the season. The positive momentum continued a few weeks later, when she used her short-game prowess to capture the second major victory of her career, the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Competing against one of the LPGA Tour’s strongest fields, Park fired a final round 69, after back-to-back 67s, to tally a four-round total of 273, 15-under-par. No one in the field came close to defeating her. In fact, runner-up and fellow South Korean So Yeon Ryu shot a highly respectable final round 65, and still finished four shots behind her. Park continued her streak, also winning last year’s Wegmans LPGA Championship and U.S. Women’s Open for three consecutive major championship victories. The 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship will be played April 3-6 at Mission Hills. As Park prepares to defend her title, she will encounter a variety of challenges.

He approached his father, an “I love being on a golf course alone. It’s like being in . . . a church of art gallery owner. He wanted to paint the 17th at the Old Course. God on a golf course,” says Baxter of studying a course. “When you’re out there on your own and there’s nobody else around, it’s just an incredible feeling. I get all arty and freaky out there.” In addition to his Scottish sense of golf spirituality, Baxter brings to his work an appreciation and an eye for the minute details of every course. It is perhaps this more than anything that makes him the singular artist he is. “I take all the atmosphere back with me in my head,” he says. “But that alone is not good enough. I also take obscure photographs of the grounds, such as ducks or rocks or the bark of a tree. All these things I have little memories of. So I can take myself back to where I was at that time, with the feelings I felt, and try to instill those feelings into a painting.” Revered for his overt attention to living and current detail, it’s also Baxter’s knowledge of history and vision of legacy that make his work both timely and timeless.

“My father said, ‘What are you doing a golf painting for?’’ and I said, ‘I don’t really know. I just love golf, I love St. Andrews and I love painting,’” Baxter recalls the late 1980s conversation. “And he said, ‘Well, what is a golf painting?’ The answer I gave him was that I didn’t really know.” Baxter was soon to learn. Upon completion of the work, he and his father took the nascent endeavor to a friend’s gallery in Glasgow. Despite the owner’s initial skepticism, two prints were sold within a week’s time. A quarter-century later (and now a member at the Old Course), Baxter has a third career that puts him among the globe’s most sought-after recorders of golf history. In addition to having a seemingly endless portfolio of portraits, landscapes, commissions and alliances, Baxter is the official artist for the Ryder Cup, The Presidents Cup, The Solheim Cup, the European PGA TOUR, the World Golf Championships and the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Baxter’s work can be found in the clubhouses of the world’s most lauded courses, and his clientele ranges from golf legends to “I love the art and I love the golf,” he says, “but for me it’s about the contemporary champions to international figures.

I am often asked, “Where do you start when you’re going to There are a vast number design a golf course?” The simple answer is, it’s a process. of variables to take into Although the process of producing layouts, grading plans, consideration.

Flat desert with custom homes, however, presented an entirely new challenge. Three parameters came straight to mind. First, we want to produce the best and most interesting golf course. We also want to give the

homes the best views possible. And as a minor but important consideration, the cart paths are more than just a function of getting from A to B; they should be concealed where possible, yet while players are moving along them they should show off the many features incorporated into the course design. The best way of giving homes a view is to drop the golf course such that the holes run in valleys, and elevate the lots so they look over the golf course. Sounds simple, right? Well, after moving 2.5 million cubic yards of dirt at the Hideaway, we were almost there! I appreciate that minimalists would freak out at the prospect of Site of 7th Hole at the Hideaway moving that amount of dirt, but that was the magic number that

made the project work and evolve into a highly successful country club. One of the directives from the developer was to include massive stretches of water with features such as waterfalls and babbling brooks. These features were not only meant to enhance the golf course but also to add enormously to the value of the lots. From a designer’s perspective, this gives a lot of cosmetic scope; however, the trick comes in not only showing off the water features as an aesthetic element, but also ensuring that the golfer isn’t fishing for his ball on every hole. way I design; I’m not a penal designer.

He once said, “I’ve never known a golfer who came back to the clubhouse saying he’d had a great day in spite of losing eight golf balls and three-putting ten greens!” I like to pose questions to the golfer with my design, making him think and giving him different options. I’m a great fan of risk- and-reward holes; the heroic or brave shot should definitely reap a reward. Most of all, though, what I want is for the golfer to have an enjoyable round and have fun with his golfing buddies. ______Clive Clark is a sought-after golf course architect, former Ryder Cup player and a staff writer with Desert Golf & Tennis

he Desert Dunes golf course has long been known by golf aficionados as one of the most underrated courses in the Coachella Valley. It has also been known as one Tof the most Canadian-friendly facilities in a very Canadian-friendly valley. With Desert Dunes’ newest phase of development about to launch, it’s likely that the course will soon receive a great deal more recognition. And its reputation for being particularly Canadian friendly will likely be enhanced, too, when its Canadian friends can actually own a piece of the action. Back in 2009, when the Desert Dunes Development Group originally purchased the golf course, the company also coveted the land surrounding it, which was free of development and owned by a national home construction company. In 2013, the group realized its dream when it was able to secure the 472 acres from the previous owners. That cleared the way for the construction of resort components that the group believes can move the development to the next level.

Construction will begin this year on a 900-unit resort- themed project, featuring distinctive villas with fractional ownership, swimming pools, tennis courts and other recreational opportunities related to the surrounding desert. The property will feature the group’s 52/13 villa, named for its time-share program that allows for a 1/4 share of ownership in a two-bedroom, two-bath villa and owner access to the property and resort facilities for a full 52 weeks a year. The design makes the program work. A cluster of four, one- bedroom suites surround a great room with an additional bed and bath, full kitchen, dining space, living area and expansive verandah. The one-bedroom satellite suites can be occupied 52 weeks a year. The great room is available to each of the four satellite suite owners for 13 weeks a year on a rotating basis, ensuring that all owners get their fair share of the great room during “the season.” According to Mike Nyhuis, vice president of operations for Desert Dunes Development, the fractional ownerships allow owners to buy into a gated, five-star golf resort property for under $200,000 (USD). The group is currently in negotiations to link the resort to a major hotel chain. “The golf course is sort of the anchor to the development, and we bought the property thinking there was an outside shot to

At the community’s center is the 37,000-square-foot Desert Lodge Clubhouse with the ambience, activities, dining and service to rival any five-star resort.

watch a match or relax after a game. There’s also a comprehensive program of instruction and clinics for all skill levels. In a region where there is no lack of superb, frequently lauded golf courses, it’s hard to stand out. Yet Mirabel has done exactly that with its dramatic 7,147-yard Tom Fazio layout. The course has garnered many awards, including being voted among the 2014 Top 100 Best Residential Course by Golfweek , Best Private Course 2012 by AZ Golf Insider and Best in the State 2011-2012 by Golf Digest . It made Rolex World’s Top 1000 Golf Courses for 2012, and BoardRoom Magazine has designated Mirabel a Distinguished Club. Fazio carefully sculpted this course into the natural contours of the landscape, creating a design that is both challenging and strikingly beautiful. From its meticulously maintained fairways, greens and tees, the course frames nature’s own artistry—Pinnacle Peak Lone Mountain, Black Mountain, the McDowell Mountains and the Bradshaw Range. It’s hard to imagine a more inspirational setting, which is just one reason many players opt to walk the course to better take in the views. While the club offers every conceivable modern amenity for golfers, it also honors one of the great traditions of the game with its stellar caddie program, another element that sets Mirabel apart. While there is no requirement for members to own property, it’s hard to come up with an argument for not doing so.

The first professional major golf championship of 2014 will tee up in the desert at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., April 1-6. As the head teaching professional at Mission Hills for nine years, I got a good feel for how difficult the final three holes can be when an LPGA Tour player is trying to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship. These finishing holes test the golfer’s ability to work the ball’s flight in many directions. Here are my keys to executing those shots.

16th hole: 407 yards, par 4

The Fade Off the Tee The key to playing the Mission Hills Tournament Course well is the ability to shape your tee shots, and nowhere is that more important than on the 16th tee. The downhill shot is impacted by two large bunkers down the left side and a gigantic lone tree that sits on the right edge of the dogleg-right fairway. The shape of shot you want to execute off the 16th tee is a slight fade. In order to accomplish this, you have to align yourself with the left bunkers but spin your ball away from the bunkers into the fairway. The key is to use a slightly open clubface, which helps shape the ball’s flight to the shape of the fairway. I like to go with a weak grip, one in which both thumbs are on top of the club, matching the clubface angle.

16th Hole

17th Hole: 172 yards, par 3

High-Trajectory Long Iron The 17th hole is a killer. What makes this par 3 so difficult is the size of the green. The green is small to begin with, and the fact that it is divided into sections makes it even smaller from a shot perspective. A ridge separates the front half of the green from the back half. The challenge is that you have to land your ball in only one section—the same one as the hole location. If you don’t, you are faced with a very difficult putt. The key to getting your long-iron tee shot onto the correct section of the green is to increase the height of the ball’s trajectory. Hitting the ball on a higher trajectory will give it a better chance of landing softer on the green and with less roll. You can give yourself an advantage on this shot 17th Hole by teeing the ball up. I suggest taking it to an extreme: In addition to teeing the ball up, also hit more up into the ball. This will give you a slightly higher finish in your swing.

18th Hole

18th Hole: 531 yards, par 5 Lay-up 3/4 Wedge Shot If you choose to lay up your second shot short of the island green, you will be left with a 60- to 90-yard wedge shot over the water The Draw off the Tee onto a green that slopes severely from back to front. The key here is With the water looming up the left side of the 18th fairway and to go to a less-than-full swing and with less power in order to take large fairway bunkers running along the right side, this tee shot is the spin off the ball. Notice in the photo of my backswing that my very intimidating. The tee box is aiming you out to the right left arm is level to the ground at the top of the backswing. When I bunkers on a fairway that is a angling left, running away from the make my forward swing through the ball, I am going to make an bunkers towards the water. The tee shot requires you to aim at the abbreviated follow-through into my finish, keeping the club in left edge of the bunkers and to hit a shot that spins from right to left. front of me and pointing to the target in the distance. If you over spin the ball to the left, it will find the lake. The key to executing this shot is to swing your club along your alignment, which is aimed at the farthest left edge of the bunkers. In order for the ball to spin right to left, you will need to go with a slightly stronger grip, that is with your thumbs positioned on the grip angled slightly right of the clubface. This shot takes a lot of trust for golfers to execute.
