The Sun Mountain course was designed by Pete Dye, and is the more forgiving layout of the three courses at the resort. The course is routed through a gently rolling and mounded desert waste areas, surrounded by native grasses. There's a number of water hazards, plenty of room off the tee, and large green complexes. The course is moderately bunkered with traditional sand bunkers and long waste areas. The course plays to 7,112 from the back tees, and has several of the Dye standard of railroad tie bunkers along with pot bunkers. Overall, a good golf course, not as penal as the other courses here, and well conditioned.
