DESIGNER: Tom Fazio (1990)
DESCRIPTION: This is what you can achieve in a flat desert landscape when money is no object. It allegedly cost $40million to build 20 years ago, and is only playable by the high-rollers staying in the MGM Mirage casino hotels. It’s nothing like the usual desert golf either, with tree-lined, undulating fairways and greenery and water features everywhere. Tom Doak’s renovations last year saw new bentgrass greens added.
