Info: Geronimo is a "strong looking golf course," according to Jack Nicklaus. At 7,099 yards from the back tees, Geronimo is perhaps the most visually intimidating of the six courses. Winding through dramatic boulders, deep washes, ravines and lush desert, the drama can be seen from the first hole, a stunning 570-yard par five with a large elevation drop to a broad fairway. The hole requires a well-struck second shot to set up the proper position to attack this shallow, well bunkered green. For every carry over a deep ravine, designer Nicklaus provides a safe route for those not so daring in their shot-making. At the final hole, every player is required to hit a shot of some length to a sloping green perched upon a lofty rock outcropping. This is one exhilarating finishing hole that caps off a great golf experience.
