Every figure as published except Card yards (derived), which is summed from the card below and shown only where a published figure is contested; a blank cell elsewhere is one nobody publishes. Front 9 and Back 9 are summed from the per-hole yardages on the scorecard.

The Green tees publish a yardage total the scorecard below does not add up to. Both figures are published and nothing we hold settles which one a round plays to, so the Yards column keeps the published figure, marked contested, and each tee's own yardage row from the card below is summed beside it, marked derived.

Plan it in the Studio

Plan Desert Island Country Club hole by hole, for your game.

Ask in plain words. The Studio draws each hole on the aerial photo, picks a club for each shot from your carries and the way you miss, and shows where a miss costs you strokes. Where a green was surveyed, it reads the slope too.

The approach, planned Example from another course: hole 15, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
The green, from LiDAR Example from another course: hole 15, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale
Every shot, tee to green Example from another course: hole 2, Resort tee, Stadium Course at TPC Scottsdale

Rates change by day and by season, so we send you to Desert Island Country Club's own booking page rather than quoting a figure that was true the week we captured it.
