I'd think your dad would like SE more then most desert courses though.  Its been three years since I was there, but I don't remember a bunch of forced carries, not for a desert course anyway.  I thought SE was very playable for the site.
Desert golf is generally more of the target type that is hard for golfers who don't carry the ball that far.  I think Doak and Co. tried hard (and IMO sucseeded) in breaking the desert course mold at SE.  I also think it was geared as a second or thrid club for most of their members so maybe that has something to do with it....

Joe:  I believe you are correct about all of that.

I love that a non-golfer has become the arbiter on all things related to desert golf. 

People, please don't ever change.  EVER!

Clint:  you are a bad bad man.  I will take this as what I hope was what you intended:  a pretty funny take on all of this.  Because of course none of that was ever intended nor stated... except about the tacos, that is.  That was stated.
