Desert Falls Country Club

We try and to make part of our golf trip every time we come to the area.

In fact we are coming back June 11 for another golf trip and hope to make it part of our schedule.

This Ron Fream design is the best kept secret in the Coachella Valley. It’s got everything: long and short par 3s,4Ss and 5s, nice elevation changes with a nice mix of very challenging and birdieable holes. My only complaint is that they’ve removed the back tees. Although I’m passed the time for the back tees, I have friends from around the country who are plus handicappers and who I would love to bring to this course and challenge them.

We played on Saturday at 100 plus degrees and we brought one bottle of water with us and that was gone by the second hole. There was no water on the course until the after the fifth hole. The water jug was empty when we got there. We thought we could get some water at the turn but the snack bar was closed. The lack of water and amenities creates a risk to your health.The course conditions were edgy. The greens were good and the fairways were okay but there were many dead and barren spots off the fairways. Sadly disappointing.

I alway enjoy playing Desert Falls Golf Course.

Joe was very friendly and Helpful with our Golf Carts, and updating the Local Information.

May 10, 2023 was an extremely windy day.

The Overall Condition of the Course was Good, and the greens were very good.

For this time of year, the courses in good shape, and the greens were excellent.

We had a course to ourselves nobody in front nobody behind.

Course was a bit dry, but because of time of year I played. Early May. Teed off on time but waited on most holes as their was a scramble that went off earlier in the day. Would play it again .

They said the watering system was down and it was quite brown out there for early may, green ran fine, the snack shack was closed and I went straight there with no breakfast. That’s the way she goes some times.

The course wasn’t in great condition. On the 1st hole I couldn’t tell it was a lay up until I drove up to find my ball. It was in the water. Not a great way to start the round. Lots of brown areas in the fairways.

Sand traps hard as a rock

Lake water levels low and lots of ugly mud wringing the .lakes

Couldn’t see lakes from fairway so hit into them

Many large brown spots on fairways

No signs telling where the golf shop was. Had to walk around aimlessly to find it. Also no one answered the phone at the bag drop so they couldn’t tell me how to find it

We arrived early and got out early! Great for a hot day. Nice challenge and wide fairways. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Course was average in all regards compared to other comparable tracks such as Escena, Indian Canyons south or Desert Willows. Speed of play was ranked high as I played by myself with few other groups on the course

First time playing Desert Falls, and most of the reviews got it right. Without GPS on the carts, playing here is a crap shoot, lots of big bunkers and water hazards to skyrocket your score. Bunkers around the greens had very little sand and we're almost unplayable. Big wide open fairways with fair rough areas. Conditions everywhere but the traps was better than average. I probably won't play here again for over $60.

Greens were about 9 because of dramatic slopes on the greens per the pro shop.

They were somewhat slow and definitely had some big slopes!
