Viewpoint features both an 18-hole championship and a 9-hole executive course that will satisfy players of all abilities. The par 71 championship course provides a fair test without the extremes of desert target golf. Relax and enjoy the tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering. The sounds of rippling streams or cascading waterfalls will remind you why we play this game. If you’re a beginning player or working on your short game, you’ll love our 9-hole executive course. This is a wonderful place to take the youngsters or to enjoy a quick nine when time is short. Our facilities include Fat Willy’s Clubhouse Pub & Grill, with spacious banquet rooms and a quaint little bar and grill that will surely quench your thirst or appetite before, during or after your round on the links.
