Jackass Flats

So, last weekend we decided to participate in a "free" camping package during which we would listen to a presentation on Colorado River Adventures. It was at Emerald Cove RV Park just north of Parker on the California side of the Colorado River. We had heard of Emerald Cove Golf Course and knew that we had free access to the park's course during our weekend - we were looking forward to being able to golf at a nice course and to do it for free...

Well, when we arrived we quickly learned that Emerald Cove Golf Course is on the other side of the river and not connected. The RV Park has "Jackass Flats". This is a course like you have never seen before. Since it is all rock and artificial turf, you are told not to use your good clubs... no problem, we used my $25 set!

A look at the course from the motorhome as we drove away.

The sign announcing the location: The Clubhouse:

The "Official" logo:

When you enter the course you are given a square of artificial turf and you carry that with you to use when you don't hit the ball right away to the next tee...

All the holes and the distances are clearly marked for your convenience...

It is the just the fairways that are a problem.

Needless to say, this is a course that will only be enjoyed once! And we did not buy a membership in CRA... In fact, we were anxious to be on our way come Monday.
