Furnace Creek
Furnace Creek Golf Course: located in Death Valley, the hottest, driest and lowest place in the USA, Furnace Creek is the world's lowest elevation golf course. At 214 feet below sea level, this 18-hole par-70 oasis course, includes amongst its challenges slightly greater gravity and barometric pressure - the ball will not travel as far as you are used to!
Originally opened in 1931, the course underwent a major renovation in 1997 by renowned golf course architect Perry Dye. Palm and tamarisk trees frame the fairways, while majestic mountain ranges (Amargosa to the east and Panamint to the west), are visible from all areas of the course.
For golf enthusiasts, no visit to the extraordinary and scorched scenery of Death Valley is complete without a round on the world's lowest golf course.
