Greens were hard. Could not land and stay. Lumpy and lots of three puts. Hard to score well here as you have to lay up and short chip on.

Terrible Greens

Played here a few times before. Starter said greens were very fast. Got on course and greens were slow and in terrible condition. Sprinklers were coming on the entire day soaking the areas around us. Overall course condition was not good. Won’t be back for a couple years.

Fairways are perfect.

Afternoon pricing is probably the best value currently in the desert. Overall course was in nice shape. The greens are green.....not much else to say other than, hard, bumpy and a little on the slow side. Fairways are top notch. Bunkers would be great with a little more maintenance. Some of the sand had a crust on it but there was sand in the traps. If you found yourself in one that had been raked that day the sand was very playable.Not far off, this will be in awesome shape. The greens are healthy enough to go shorter not sure why they don't, probably something to do with how hard the surface is. I heard the course was closed for a bit because of storm damage back in Sept. Probably why the conditioning is not what it usually is but the price more than makes up for it in the afternoons. Not super long but still a good challenge for low handicaps. I would say if you're playing around the time this is posted you're more than getting your money's worth.

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!
