PGA Tour Event - Black Desert Championship (Course is ridiculous)

You guys need to tune in and check it out for a few minutes this weekend (on the Golf Channel right now)
this course is quite a sight. It's the first tour event in Utah in 40+ years

As a made-for-TV production, the PGA Tour loved the idea of staging an event at the Black Desert Resort in Ivins because of its “pop” value on the screen: A picturesque black lava field surrounding green fairways, white sand bunkers, all under a blue sky framed in red-rock desert mountains.
This place has so many color schemes going, producers had a real palette problem going in the production booth: Which scene to pick, what camera, which angle?
It all popped.
As owner Patrick Manning tells it, the PGA Tour picked Black Desert for this event before he’d even planted grass — it was that stunning of a scene for TV. It was also the late Tom Weiskopf’s last course design.

They are obviously trying something new with today’s coverage. They are only focusing on the cut and the players on it or near it. Even the leaderboard is just guys that are still playing near the cut. I think they are on to something as it’s made for good tv.
Course looks incredible

It's like a real life version of Black Rock Cove from Tiger Woods 2004

It's a beautiful course.

It has intrigued me more and more all week. It looks very fair but tough as hell at the same time.

Played out in St George a few years ago. There are some really awesome courses out there. Entrada at Snow Canyon has a course that the back nine is through a black lava field. Weirdest course I ever played. Front nine was boring and very resort style, back nine was amazing, with the red mountains and the black lava field.

I stayed/played at entrada as well about 10 years ago. Spot on with the front nine/back nine. Can remember wondering what I had paid for until we made the turn. Also went and played Sand Hollow on that trip, that was an incredible course. You see photos/videos of it all the time and it lives up to those photos.

We played Sand Hollow. Damn, what an awesome golf course. St George, Utah is an underrated golf destination. We did three days in Vegas, including Wolf Creek on our way to St George.

Concerned Citizen: Hey, did you hear about the Colorado River is drying up.

Black Desert uses grey water(not suitable for human consumption) and it doesn’t come from the Colorado river.

I was thinking the Dunes course from Mario Golf, only thing missing is a giant cactus in the fairway
