Nestled in Coachella Valley, Date Palm Country Club sits at the base of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountain ranges, providing nearly every hole on the golf course with a stunning view. The course is the centerpiece of a popular retirement community near Palm Springs, a location that enjoys nice weather year-round and is just 20 minutes from shopping, dining, and museums. The layout is on the shorter side, but it still has some challenging holes. The golf course demands accuracy with every contour of the rolling terrain and you'll be put to the test even further when maneuvering the small greens and narrow fairways. The bunkering is minimal but strategic at Date Palm C.C., and the occasional water hazard also comes into play. In addition to the golf course, there is a practice putting green.

Happy Golf

On a hot day, all the trees providing shade were really appreciated. The executive course was in very good condition, greens and fairways.

Most holes were straight and even the holes with water hazards were manageable.

Will definitely play again.

Great 9 hole course

Course is good shape and there are a fairly large number of big trees which add to the challenge. Corbin at the desk is very helpful. Both times we’ve played there as a twosome we have been able to start earlier than our booked time. Two par 5’s, four 4’s and three 3’s.

Executive Fun

Hidden in a trailer park is a par 58 course with flat greens and a fun little layout. Unfortunately the Front nine was closed for tree trimming. Golfnow never mentioned this.. so we played nine uninspiring holes in an hour. Then left. Course conditions are decent , people friendly.

We didn’t know until we arrived at golf course that the front nine was closed for maintenance. We were able to go out on back nine right away but when we came around to play the back nine a second time, we had to wait as four groups were waiting. This made the second time around the back nine over twice as long as the first time around.

Played many times

Great course for me as a senior. Still challenging for me and distances suited my skill level now. Only complaint would be conditions of sand traps. Almost muddy at times and seldom groomed it seems.

Cheap, low-end golf

If you’re looking for inexpensive golf in the Palm Springs area, this course will do—but you get what you pay for. There are a lot of par 3s and no par 5s. The layout is a bit awkward, and it’s situated in the middle of a mobile home park. The staff wasn’t especially friendly, and the clubhouse—if you can call it that—doesn’t have much to offer.

That said, the course was well maintained from the tee boxes to the greens. Avid golfers will probably want to choose a better course in the area, but Date Palm is a decent option for beginners and intermediate players.

A lot of fun

This course is a great option for golfer who prefer a shorter course. This one has only 4 par four’s—the rest are par three’s. Nice that there are 18 holes. Well maintained. staff is terrific.

Course is in great shape. Greens are good and run true. Several hazards and some narrow fairways. Worth playing if you are in the area.
