The soil is pretty sandy, the plant material beautiful and the arroyos a very exciting element to work with. The course is going to be designed to be walkable, with no long walks between greens and tees and the site not having excessive elevation change. &nbsp;</p><p>Here's a view from the west looking over much of the property, particuarly the portion where the vegetation is most dense.<br /></p><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img alt="QuerenciaViewEast.jpg" src="http://www.geoffshackelford.com/storage/QuerenciaViewEast.jpg" style="width: 506px; height: 365px;" /></span>&nbsp;</p><p>The arroyo will be a key component of the design, with a few holes playing over and beside it.<br /></p><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img alt="QuerenciaWash.jpg" src="http://www.geoffshackelford.com/storage/QuerenciaWash.jpg" style="width: 505px; height: 365px;" /></span>&nbsp;</p><p>The arroyo is quite interesting and full of color and texture (below).<br /></p><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img alt="Querencia11thgreenbluffs.jpg" src="http://www.geoffshackelford.com/storage/Querencia11thgreenbluffs.jpg" style="width: 505px; height: 366px;" /></span><br /></p><p>The views toward the north can be seen in this view (below):<br /></p><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img src="http://www.geoffshackelford.com/storage/QuerenciaViewNorth.jpg" alt="QuerenciaViewNorth.jpg" style="width: 505px; height: 354px;" /></span>&nbsp;</p><p>Below is the view of what may end up being a long par-3 over the arroyo to a greensite featuring a nice right to left slope funnelling balls toward the putting surface.
