The Round
The Journey at Mojave Resort Golf Club
I.
The Opening
Mojave Resort is routed through the lowlands along the Colorado River, with wide fairways, wind-shaped dunes and bunkers fingered around the greens. It opens with a par 5, the first of four on the card, then three par 4s before the par-3 5th. By the club's own account the front nine plays tougher than the back, and the hardest stretch on the course begins at the 6th, a par 4 rated No. 3.
II.
The Middle
The par-5 7th and the par-3 8th lead to the 9th, a par 4 that is the No. 1 handicap and the end of the run the club calls the toughest on the course. The back nine opens with a par 5 and two par 4s; the 12th is rated No. 4. The greens throughout are undulating, with breaks that are subtle but easy to misread, so the pin position shapes each approach.
III.
The Finish
The par-5 13th and par-3 14th start the run home. The 16th is a short par 4 the club describes as drivable for long hitters, and ponds sit on the 16th, 17th and 18th. After the par-3 17th comes the signature 18th: from the gold and black tees the drive must carry water to reach the fairway, and the second crosses water again to a two-tiered green, with room to bail out right.
How to Play It
Mojave Resort Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Wide fairways and wall-to-wall grass give room off the tee, so most of the work is on and around the undulating greens; check where the pin is before choosing a target. On the 18th, the second shot crosses water to a two-tiered green, and the club's advice is to bail out to the right, where there is room to keep the ball dry.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The club singles out the 6th through the 9th as the hardest run on the course, and the 9th is the No. 1 handicap, so play those four conservatively and protect the card. On the short par-4 16th, the club's suggested layup with a long iron, hybrid or fairway wood leaves a short wedge and a real birdie chance.
Advanced / Low Handicap
From the back tees the course rates 73.6 with a 136 slope, and the front nine plays harder than the back, so the scoring comes late. Long hitters can drive the 16th green, but ponds come into play on the 16th, 17th and 18th. On the 18th, the second must carry water to a two-tiered green, so the approach has to finish on the correct level.
