Palm Desert Country Club

The staff was very helpful and friendly. I want to mention the young man working the golf carts. He did a great job. I can tell that he’s a hard-working young man, very helpful.

1st time playing the course,got paired with a single whom was from orange county,(charlie) he played the course many years ago so he was a great guide and helped out with some placement of shots through out the course, was i good shape, really the course was wide open, not many out golfing early which was nice and made my wife comfortable , had a great time.

Below average conditions. Would be good for a beginner golfer. Not a vacation course.

Great course for someone new to golf, lots of bunkers and wide fairways. The staff was friendly and happy assist.

This course is extremely basic. Save for some badly placed unkept bunkers. The first few holes were green but that ended quickly. Very dry, very dead fairways. Overall condition of the greens were pretty decent. Hitting off the fairways was like hitting off of solid ground. Nothing interesting about the entire course. Save for the fact that every hole was in the middle of a different neighborhood. So weird. Talked to a homeowner. And he said they stopped watering everything but the greens 2 weeks prior

Holes 10-14 had no water and were completely burnt out totally brown. Greens were ok. They casually mentioned they had a pump problem after I paid. I did not have high expectations but the course was awful

Played on a hot day and the round lasted over 5 hours. No marshal on the course. Several holes burned out (10-12). No sand in the bunkers. Greens were good, generally

The course could be excellent if maintained better and there was someone monitoring speed of play.

We are visiting from other states. Getting a T-time on a Saturday was challenging but we chose this course based on other reviews. Pace of slow was painful. We were behind a five ball that would not allow us to play through. They were behind several other groups that were initially backed up, but slowly cleared. The “driving range” is a net with two very worn mats. Chipping area was ok, as was putting practice area. Some of the greens were healthy but most were not. The course is spread out over an older neighborhood. The fairway grass was mostly dead and hard as rock. We paid $65 each when $35-40 would have been fairer. If you can, spend more and go elsewhere. We wish we had.

This course isn't worth the time or money. The course isn't very interesting (shape, landscape), greens are not in good shape, and and the staff (outdoor services, turn house/dining room service) was poor. Skip it.

Greens are in excellent condition, pace of play was good

Greens were in good shape

Fairways are not kept up with irrigation

I guess this is there spring summer

Course conditions

The Palm Desert Country Club has a nice atmosphere. The staff was great and very friendly. The course needs to be re-routed so the back is the front as it was originally so the flow makes more sense. I think the nostalgic of reversing the nines would draw people in as well, be nice to have two score cards so when they want to flip it they can. Carts weee in nice condition and had everything needed but the coolers were a little on the older side and need to be updated. Great course for all levels and definitely one that everyone should try at least once to see if it fits your game and expectations.

We played Palm Desert Country Club for the first time on 4/15/26. Loved this course. Felt like we had the place to ourselves. Finished 18 holes in less then 3 1/2 hours. The greens ABs fairways were in excellent shape! Apparently bunkers are next on the list to update! We would play here again in a heartbeat!

The course is set up inside a neighborhood not very long holes. We played in early April and the grass was still green in color. Fairways rolled good, wide open. enjoyed the putting surface as all the greens were in great shape!

We got told to pick up pace of play, while we are waiting for group ahead to hit their next shot. Group ahead of us were also waiting for the group ahead of them to get off green. Yet Marshall watches my group to hit off tee box before leaving and does not stop to talk to other groups ahead of us.

A lot of places in the area have leagues in the morning so it's hard to get a time at a reasonable cost. Was able to get one here. The pace was agonizingly slow early on but the dudes in front of us finally got moving after an employee spoke to them. Nice conditions on course but ugly houses on half the holes.
