Laid out amongst the arroyos and canyons of the Rio Grande Valley, the Gary Pranks-designed golf course at Twin Warriors Golf Club is one of two 18-hole layouts operated by the Santa Ana Pueblo. This layout operates from the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa while the Santa Ana Golf Club course is located next to the Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel, just a two-mile drive away.
In The American Private Golf Resort Guide, Daniel Wexler describes the course as “a tough track to be sure, but also a strategic one which regularly incorporates both the desert terrain and several ancient Indian cultural sites.”
The author continues: “The 3,933-yard front nine offers the 197-yard 4th (whose green is fronted by the club’s lone water hazard) and the 208-yard Redan 9th. Both back nine par threes are fairly natural designs (the 186-yard 13th playing to a clifftop green, the 244-yard 15th skirting a Cliffside cultural site) before the 648-yard 16th descends over 100 feet past sacred Tuyuna Mountain on the way home.”
