Hotties! Head to Furnace Creek Resort for Death Valley Heatstroke Open

At Furnace Creek Resort in Death Valley National Park, the lowest golf course in the world is hosting their 3rd annual “Heatstroke Open” Golf Tournament, June 21-23, 2013.

Surprising to those who have never been to Death Valley, the resort area of the spectacular valley is a true oasis, quite green and lush with palms, willows and lawns that are watered from a steady flow out of the nearby Funeral Mountains. The Ranch at Furnace Creek has 224 rooms, general store, restaurant, spring-fed swimming pool, tennis, horseback riding and the Borax Museum.

The Ranch at Furnace Creek Heatstroke Open package:

• 2 nights of accommodations
• 36 holes of tournament golf plus optional Friday practice round
• cart, prizes, gift bag
• commemorative certificate
• From $199 in a standard room to $219 in a deluxe room; pp per night

The 18-hole Furnace Creek Golf Course measures 6,236 yards from the back tees; 69.7/117. The low elevation and challenging greens earned it a place on Golf Digest’s list of “America’s 50 Toughest Courses.” Originally opened in 1931, the course underwent a major renovation under the direction of world-renowned architect Perry Dye.

(Open from mid-October through mid-May, the Inn at Furnace Creek is an AAA 4 diamond-rated property with 68 rooms amenities, fine dining, tennis and a spring-fed pool.)
