Here is another very interesting course, designed by Chimaera, set in a desert, with a couple of pyramids and small obelisks, some sparsely-planted tall palm trees, two fortresses, not to mention cute pyramid-shaped tee markers (with tiny sphinxes guarding the entrances), and with plenty of sand... of course !
This par 72 starts with two par-4 right dogleg holes, with the fairway hugging a small oasis on the right (with a small elongated lake at the bottom of a big rock) and a very wide sand trap on the left in the corner on the 1st hole, and an enormous puzzle-shaped bunker all across the fairway, two-thirds of the way, on the 2nd.
The par-5 3rd hole has plenty of sand on both sides of the sinuous fairway, quite narrow in the middle, and more light sand all across, not too far from the slightly-elevated green, and is followed by the scenic par-3 4th, with a small fortress on the right side, with a few high rocks around, and a pyramid, way back behind the green on the left.
The next few holes are not too difficult : between the par-4 5th and the par-4 6th, I prefer the latter with its tee shot downward a winding and slanted fairway (with another wide puzzled-shaped bunker on the left side of the green), whereas the par-3 7th hole is picturesque, with a tee shot over a few bushes, tall grass and trees, with another wide bunker across in front of the green.
After the par-4 8th hole, the par-4 9th is short (around 360 yards) and tougher, with plenty of deep sand on the left all along the winding fairway, and across in front of the green, surrounded halfway by palm trees, with high rocks behind and a fortress, further back.
The back 9 is more challenging, after the right dogleg par-4 10th hole, with a tee shot over deep sand and an approach over another puzzle-shaped bunker across the fairway.
It starts with the very picturesque par-4 11th hole, with two small pyramids (way to the left of the tee box) and a small obelisk, further to the left to gaze at, a downhill tee shot over plenty of deep and light sand on both sides, and a few big rocks and palm trees, midway (on the right of the winding fairway), before moving on to the easy par-3 12th, with a slightly-uphill tee shot over another wide bunker across the fairway and a nice panoramic view as you reach the green.
One of my favorite holes is the pretty and long (around 585 yards) par-5 13th, with sand all along the narrow undulating and winding fairway, halfway, with a downhill tee shot and a very long approach to the slightly-uphill green, with a small obelisk in front, more light sand behind, and two small pyramids behind on both sides !
Then, after the par-4 14th hole, where your shots will fly over the light sand three times, you will reach the very pretty right dogleg par-5 15th where, after hitting a blind and slightly-downhill tee shot over plenty of more light sand (going all the way to the right), you will need to hit a long approach toward the green to admire the two small pyramids on the right.
Finally, after two more wide-open par-4 left doglegs, with more sand to deal with, you may have a chance to putt for an eagle on the short (about 325 yards) left dogleg par-4 18th hole (depending on the wind direction) by cutting the corner using your driver to fly over all the sand to reach the green.
Despite a couple of odd-shaped rocks, this Raiders of the Lost Course is quite nice with those beautiful pyramids and obelisks and all that sand around and it plays very smoothly. But, as usual, without any pictures to look at, it is always hard to decide if you should play Chimaera's courses, which is a shame, as he is talented and imaginative designer...

Another nice one Jimi. Your courses are always interesting and fun to play.

Great work Jimi, WOW i like all bunker we need to place the shoot out of sand lol, You make a very good desert course i like it, ty vv much man. Très beau terrain avec des belles trape de sable, beau travail l'ami, tu es le top designer !
