At the Renaissance Esmeralda, you can tee off on not one, but two brand new championship courses--the stunning Clive Clark-designed Celebrity Course, and spectacular John Fought-designed Players Course. The Celebrity Course opened to rave reviews in November of 2006 and served as the site of the silver anniversary LG Skins Game in 2007. Playability, diversity, and challenge are among the highlights of the Celebrity Course, Clive Clark's desert masterpiece. Featuring remarkable attention to details, breathtaking mountain views, vibrant landscaping, meandering streams, and stunning waterfalls, the Celebrity Courses offers a unparalleled golf outing for players of every level. Likewise, John Fought's Player's Course opened to great acclaim in November of 2007. Presenting a brilliant contrast to the Celebrity Course, the Player's Course features dynamic bunkering, generous fairway corridors, an undulating topography - an aesthetically fascinating combination to challenge all types of players. Moreover, Fought also created the IW Putting Course, a lighted, 18-hole, natural grass putting practice area.
