In the lake view, a fountain anchors the foreground while rows of residences follow the shoreline. The closer fairway photograph highlights how patios, homes and golf space meet. A third perspective reveals internal streets, pools and courts within the surrounding residential landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese wider views help explain the layout, but the experience changes from one property to the next. A lake-facing patio, a home beside a fairway and an interior location can offer very different outlooks, privacy and afternoon sun. The pools and courts visible in the photographs should be treated as location context; access depends on the particular property, association and membership arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"golf-history\"\u003eGolf and a place in desert history\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe club’s Lawrence M.
