Course: Anza Borrego GC
Designer: John Sandoval for JNSE
Date: 11/15/92


    This is my third solo release.  In my previous two, I have tried
to capture a certain setting.  This philosophy continues with Anza
Borrego.
    This course is loosely based on a trip with my wife to the desert
Southwest.  We traveled from San Diego and went through Arizona and
New Mexico, with a short stop in Mesa Verde, Colorado.  While on
that trip, I was very taken with the scenery.  I don't think you can
see anything else quite like it in the world.  And so, I wanted to 
create a desert design.
    The name for the course comes from the Anza Borrego desert, which
is in the Southeastern corner of California.  The desert is a bit
different from the "typical" Southwestern desert, and the course reflects
this.
    As with all of my courses, this one isn't too taxing on your golf score.
One can have a leisurely round of golf and just take in the sights.  
There are a some holes, though, that require serious thought.  And with 
all of that sand out there, you will need to be accurate.
    
    I would like to thank Kerry Leibowitz for taking a look and the 
course and giving me his opinions.  The background took some time and
his comments were valuable.
    As for the objects, well, the cacti are from the JNUG clip-art 
package, but they have been recolored.  Other objects were taken from
Mark Willett's Scorpion course.  And the rest are original, for better
or worse.

    If you enjoy this course, you may want to check out my previous
designs.  My first course was La Jolla GC, a seaside course set in
San Diego.  After that, was Cuyamaca GC, a mountain course.  I have also
collaborated with Kerry Leibowitz on Doral CC, and we will be working
again in the future.  Next up for me as solo projects are the two
Torrey Pines courses.  

    Thanks and I hope you enjoy the course.
