layout in a parkland settng of rolling terrain with an abundance
of bunkers. The Club Course adds another 18-hole challenge marked
by secluded sand traps and tree-lined fairways. If you prefer
to swing racquets instead of clubs you will find five lighted

pools.

and pampering, the Spa at Camelback Inn provides a variety of
