Some beautiful holes.

A bit pricey for the course. Have played better courses for less. We belong to a top 100 course (Pete Dye course) guest fees less.

A great course

I love this course, the scenery on the back nine is beautiful.

The course is in good condition.

It's quite a challenging course and can be difficult for the high handicap player. There are several water holes.

We play this course once a year when we come to Palm Springs.

The staff is very friendly

I think this course is a good value for the money

Great Conditions

Coarse was in great shape,, greens were fast and took to long getting use to them. Make sure your short game is dialed in or you will struggle.
