Challenging but worth it

Amazing course set out with lots of challenging bunkers and elevations to keep me really focused on the game. The pace of play was great. Staff was very friendly - food was good and a great view. Spectacular location and scenery. Cant go wrong with any of the courses here and really reasonable fess for what you get..

Grat course, but beware of the wind

Played the course for the first-time ion April 22nd. Staff were very friendly - lady in proshop told us not to over read the greens - good tip.

Course good but the wind was up to 20 mph gusts which made things just a little challenging. Apparently, this is normal for Palm Springs at this time of the year, so if you are vacationing to play golf in Palm Springs, plan your dates accordingly.

Not a course to recommend

Course has deteriorated from the last time I played 2 years ago. Dead pan on fairways. Rough had a lot of bare spots and dead grass. Ponds only half full. Very disappointed after the enjoyable time we had 2 years ago.

Perfect Spring Summer Outing

Pace of play was great, went out at 3:30 and finished at 6:45, only slowed down at hole 14 when we caught up to a slow twosome in front of us. Course is in good shape, getting a little dry with the heat coming. Will definitely be back. Beware we saw a rattlesnake on the edge of the coarse on the cart path.
