So my dad and I have made the 3 hour trek twice in the past like 10 years to go play an amazing resort/casino golf course up northeast of phoenix. We haven't gone in about 4 years and I forgot how long it is. Check out the tips. A 661 yard par 5. I will say though, it is high desert and with the altitude the ball definetly flies further.

Thats first hole is a monster, everything else looks kind of standard thought, maybe with the exception of the 200+ yard par three.

Course near me has the longest golf hole in the US (per Guiness Book of World Records), par 6, 841 yards. Really can't stand the course, very gimmicky. Farmer decided to develope a golf course with 27 holes. Reminds me of a putt-putt course. Has everything this side of a Windmill and Clown hole...

Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to...

the worst part is that first hole has the largest elevation gain on the course. It is straight uphill but is quite wide and very simple (straight, 1 bunker IIRC) A true grip it and rip it hole.

There are a few courses on the RTJ trail that are over 8,000 yards total. So, either one or both of the nines would have to be longer than the original course posted. Plus, the original course only has one Par 3 on the front which can skew the yardages longer of course.

In my bag:

Driver: SQ 9.5, Graphite Stiff Shaft
3 Wood: Diablo 13 degree, Stiff Shaft
2 Hybrid: SQ 18 degree, Steel Stiff ShaftIrons: MP-30, 3-PWSW: 56* Vokey Copper spin-milledFW 52* VokeyFlat Stick Zing 2Ball: Pro V1x

International "Pines" Course. 4188 yards for a par of 37. 674 yard par 5. 715 yard par 6.

Back nine is longer and a par 36. 270 yard par 3.

Played from the "Tiger" tees.

They should have a U.S. Open there. (80.0/154). I think it's the second toughest course in America. I can't believe it isn't #1.

Each 9 is over 4000 yards from the tips. There is another course on the RTJ trail (The Shoals) that is over 8000 yards. Don't think I'll ever be playing from the tips at either place. When the shortest par 4 on the course is 454 yards, you know it's for big hitters only.

What I play:

Driver: XLS Hibore 9.5* Fit-On Red (S)
Woods: Tour XPC 16* Graffaloy ProLite (S)
Hybrid: Exotics 3HIrons: Reid Lockhart 3-SWWedge: rac 60*Putter: a crappy $20 Academy putter (but it works!)

Isn't that completely absurd? I can understand Colorado where the air is super thin, but 454 yards being the shortest par 4? I honestly think that could turn people off from even going there, it just seems like carnival golf.

Well, they also have tees at 6200, 6700, and 7300, so it's not as if there aren't options out there for the rest of us. But seriously, I couldn't realistically play that course as a par 72 from the tips. More like a par 82 for me

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
