Desert Falls Country Club

Overall,this was a disappointing experience. There was no Marshall to greet us and explain the course idiosyncrasies. The course was poorly labelled and we were several times confused as to which way to proceed to a hole. Because of the hilly nature of the course ,it was difficult to see , visually, which way to go. No one told us where we could get water and the staff,generally, were not friendly,.There are no yardage markers which, when the flag was not easily visible, made play challenging in spite of using the course handbook. ( the 150 yard mark was helpful)

We liked the course and found it well maintained and interesting. However, the day was disappointing.

First time playing this course. I will definitely try again next time visiting Palm Desert area.

Other then the Resident who was complaining about an errant shot on the 2nd hole & no beverage cart it's a great layout!

Course and greens are in very nice condition. Sand traps are, however, less than great and are very hard packed.

First time experiencing frost with a temp of 46. Only a 35 minute delay. Holes # 9 & 18 have to be two of the most challenging holes I've played.

Played the course a few times in January, greens were a very nice speed. Overall course conditions were also very good. Staff was friendly and the pace of play for my early morning times was fantastic.

The Course was in great condition, it’s a nice layout, challenging from the tips but very fair.

The early tee time scared off the other three players in the group. I tried to get paired up but ended up playing solo. I was able to play through the foursome in front of me on the third hole. Finished the round in 2 & half hours. The course was in great shape. The greens rolled true and weren't too fast unless you weren't paying attention to the grain on downhill putts. It's ironic that the same holes but me again after a year away.

Great course conditions, challenging layout, good pace of play. Definitely play again...

Nice course in good condition. More water/cups on the course would be nice

Sad to say this course was in such bad shape , Grass was brown and looked like it was a very nice course just lack of maintenance.

This was the 2nd time I played this course. The first time was in August. I lost about 6 balls in the rough. I never had that issue before. I went again this past Saturday thinking that maybe the course was in better shape since it’s the season. I still lost a few balls. Not as much, but I think it was pretty ridiculous. It wasn’t the worst experience but I would prefer to play at other courses.

Unfortunately the day started out with an unreasonably rude proshop attendant, who was also apparently rude to the other gentleman in my group who booked through GolfNow.

I was thrown off when asked if I would like to purchase a small medium or large bucket of range balls which were off brand cheap-o’s. The range had thick artificial turf mats that were not necessarily ideal either.

From there I stayed optimistic and enjoyed their large chipping and putting greens which were very nice.

The course layout is great and the greens are very unique and fun to hit into as well as putt on. I don’t think I’ll return any time soon mostly because of that simple rude exchange, however I wish the club good luck and hope it becomes better in the future like I have heard it was in the past.

I’ve played this course for the last 15 years and they always seem to have very unfriendly (I’m using kind words) proshop staff. Not all but they always have one staff member that seems to gate his/her job. Very un-accommodating. This has been the case for the last 15 years. It’s a shame because the course is very nice and I enjoy playing it.

The dude in the pro shop is rude and should be released from his position! Other than that, we enjoyed our Desert Falls experience!

So actually, I believe this course is a great hidden gym to be honest. The value for the money is over the top. Definitely has its challenges, but I think there is some improvement needed as well. The greens need to be cared for better. There are divots everywhere that are on repaired. The green teen tend to be very firm. Lastly the staff the guys at front meeting. Everyone are less than friendly. You get the sense when you return that they’re really just looking for the tip and that is offensive. I’ve seen them stand there and watch people carry their clubs to the golf cart area And just watch. The office staff on the other hand is very affable and friendly. The outdoor staff really, really needs some instruction and assistance in their social skills and attitude. Hope this helps. It’s meant as constructive criticism.

Sorry to say this course was in terrible shape. The grass was dormant, so it looked even worse but the overall condition was terrible. Greens were bumpy, not very manicured. It's name is Desert Falls but all of the lakes/waterfalls have no water. This place looks like it used to be a great course. The layout is great, but it almost looks like they are going out of business and just going through the motions now.
