Welcome to the resort at historic Lonely Dell Ranch! Situated northeast of the Grand Canyon, this desert adventure brings strategic undulating fairways, tricky greens, and a memorable 18-hole experience!
Lonely Dell Ranch is a fantasy course inspired by the Cathedral Wash Trail in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which is Northeast of the Grand Canyon near Horseshoe Bend--My wife and I hiked this trail as part of our first anniversary roadtrip through the Grand Canyon and southern Utah together (would highly recommend). I've named this course after and designed a virtual recreation of the actual Lonely Dell Ranch, a national historic site in the area, accessible to both PC and console players from the 7th tee and 9th green. The course was built under the following criteria: under 7000 yards and three greens within 50 yards of each other. LDR plays quite easy is stagnant conditions and is designed with medium, high, and very high winds in mind (Northeast Arizona is one of the windiest areas of the USA), preferably with a SE-SW wind direction. Lighting is set to emulate early morning or late evening rounds that avoid the blistering heat of the summer daylight hours. Be sure to zoom around the resort village from the 1st and 10th tees or the 18th fairway/green. This course is my very first Tour Worthy rating and I'm very proud of the work I've put into this one. Looking forward to hearing thoughts and feedback from the community!

Watched you updating this in the under construction thread. Excited to play it. Being an AZ boy I like seeing how people design in the desert theme. I find it tricky but others knock it out of the park. This one looks great

This course kicked my butt because my tempo was way off. I'll go back and play it again for sure. Got to watch polak shoot a casual -18 so that was nice. Great course man, by far your best!

I love this course. The landscape and lighting are outstanding. The sculpting on the FWs and greens are 1st rate. I just finished a -4 round with 187 greens and the greens were pretty tough. Terrific job here!

The lighting and planting on this course is absolutely fantastic. I really like this environment. Well done! Also, props on the debut stream, hopefully you reached your Twitch follower goal with that one!
