Desert/Mountain Course

Hello all,

Like I posted earlier I had to re-install PGA (Computer got the dreaded Blue Screen of Death), anyway it is a desert/mountain valley course and is a perfect for match play (my matchplay course).

This is the best description I can give.
The first hole is -elevated tee shot "is one of the best in golf" - the fairway is pinched on the left by a pond, and right by thick rough - playing to a elevated green. It is a Desert Mountain Valley course ) similar to PGA West, but this course is a fiction course.
I have been racking my brain trying to remember, and have downloaded the course pictures, and the courses list, but cannot locate.
I never thought I would forget this course.
I know it is not much to go on.

Thanks,
Bogey

No it's not one of the two listed, but both are great courses.
The course was released around the same time as Eagles Cry, because at that time I used both of these courses in the Bob Hope Classic.
I know like Tincup said its like try to find a needle in a hay stack, but my search will continue.

Thanks,
Bogey

Here's another with water off 1st tee.
If you look at the pictures, they are all 1st tees.
I'm through the Rs and the pictures are the only ones with water off the first tee.

Bogey,
Here's Whiffle Oasis.
I have been through all 53 of Dar's list of desert courses. I have posted images of all those with water off the first tee.
I also looked at Desert Pines, Destination Dubai and Roanoke Island.
If anyone thinks of any others, I'll be glad to look.
