Beautiful, challenging but not punitive

One of the coolest back nines I've played. holes wander through foothills with nobody else nearby and view of the Coachella Valley. Course has more rough that is playable than most desert courses, so it's playable if you're a mid handicapper. Lots of undulations and level changes. Greens were especially hard and bumpy when we played. Clubhouse and staff were great. I'd put this on your list!

Course under repair

I love this course, but the rains last year did major damage to the course. They are still getting it bacck in shape. If you played here in the past, 2024 might not live up to your expectations. But it will be back!

Beautiful course, but typical Dye confusion on front nine

The course was beautiful, with the typical Pete Dye confusion on the front nine. First timers should be warned to get a yardage book, as the front nine has craters and bumps that conceal the correct way to play it.

Fairways were perfect, but the greens were ugly and spotty, not up to the same expected standard.

Pace of play in back is an issue

Beautiful surroundings, new greens very hard to hold approach shots. We were doing great pace wise then ground to a halt on #10.

SLOW SLOW AND SLOWER

This course is ALWAYS stacked up and yesterday was worse than usual. At minimum 2-3 foursomes playing on EACH hole. At least an 5-8 minute wait on EACH tee and then more waits to finish it out!!. Unbearable for the money that one plays. The RANGERS do nothing and don't care either. Not sure why you have a 9 minute tee-off schedule, Are you purposely trying to anger the people who are playing for some pretty big bucks? I play a lot of golf courses and this one is the WORST in playing time!!

Very Disappointing!!! Not worth the $$$

Chose to play here because of a past great experience -before it was a PGA West property. What a mistake! Course is in very poor shape. Absolutely no longer the premium property and experience it once was and definitely not worth $200 USD/round/person. It was an embarassment to take guests there.

Mountain Course is beautiful!

The storm that rolled through on whole #7 was ominous yet satisfying. Greens and fairways are both in great condition. One up from the tips played a little long for me and the elevated fronts made it more challenging. Would have like to score better and probable would have from the Senior tees. I would recommend this trac to everyone. Stunning views on every hole. We will definitely be back to play the other side. The Starter and clubhouse crew were all very polite and accommodating.
