Estrella Mountain Ranch Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus designed the course, but it wasn't the same guy who did Desert Highlands and Desert Mountain. No, this Jack Nicklaus has a II behind his name, which stands for "Jackie'' Nicklaus. Judging from the big-time effort that went into this upscale public course, the Golden Bear's oldest son might be a chip off the old block. Many of the elder Nicklaus' trademarks are evident, like forced carries over transition and lots of intricate bunkering and tee boxes.
