La Paloma offers a distinctive Jack Nicklaus experience across its 27 holes, divided into the Canyon, Hill and Ridge nines. As one of Nicklaus’s earlier designs—and a Signature course reflecting his hands-on involvement throughout development—it showcases Mini-Verde Bermuda greens, tightly maintained fairways and crisp white sand bunkers. With seven sets of tees on each hole, the layout can be tailored to a wide range of abilities, combining strategic challenge with approachable play. All the while, sweeping desert and mountain views provide a dramatic backdrop that can almost distract you from the test in front of you.
