Fun course. A little bit like Wolf Creek. Not sure what’s up with the greens. No bev cart, but ice and water machines on course.

Great Round

My wife and I played a round this afternoon in 3 hours. Course is in great shape. They are doing some prep on the greens for fall over seeding, with top dressing, but still a great experience. Our favorite course in La Quinta.

Too pricey for the course conditions.

The greens were very sandy and we weren't told when we booked the round. There were a group of guys ahead of us that were very unruly, I assume a bachelor party.

The round was over 4 hrs.

Mountain Course

Played Saturday Mid Morning 8/21 on a cooler day than usual in the desert. It was only 90 degrees at 10:30 and course was in good shape for summer. There were a few greens that had some sand on them but it did not affect the roll of the ball. Overall course in fine shape and always a treat to play the Mountain Course anytime .

Punched greens, wet fairways.

This course is not worth over $100 in the summer. The greens were really bad and should be considered. The fairways were super wet. I enjoyed the layout, just disappointed in paying over $100 to play on bad greens.

Terrible Condition

We were in town for a three day golf trip and booked this the final day. The course is in absolute terrible condition all around. The greens are the worst I have seen in the valley. On top of this they are charging $75. We had played PGA Nicholas course and expected this would be in similar condition. It is not even close which explains why it was easy to get on.

Birthday bust 2

Forgot to state in my last post. Let a single join us because of the pace of play. He left after 9 which took 3 hours. A twosome in front of us left after the 10th. And no one behind us for the 10 thru 12. But by the time we got done on the 15th. There were 3 groups that caught up and were now waiting as well. Wouldn't call it a PGA course. More like a municipality course.

Birthday Bust

Took my son here for his Birthday. Alot of Brown patches around and on the green. Very bad pace of play. Took almost 6 hours. Waited on 95% of our shots. Talk to numerous rangers about it. One even stated there was a 2 hole gap. But wouldn't do anything. Sure it's not like this all the time. But very disappointed as waiting so long took away from enjoying and getting into any type of Rhythm. Played a lot of better course for less money. Worst vacation experience ever.

POP was way too slow in 110 degree heat

Normally have a great round here, but today was really rough. I was averaging about 14minutes ahead of POP until I caught up to the groups ahead of me and the entire round stalled. Took 5 hours to play the next 12 holes, which was extremely long in 110 degree heat. The marshal came around and was extremely nice but nothing he could do because the groups in the next 4 holes ahead of us were playing so slow.

Fun Desert Course

I'd always wanted to play this course, so I came out on a Thursday. Only about a 102 so not too bad. As expected, some burned out areas near the green and some bare spots on the greens, but generally they ran true. Honestly, it's just a desert course with a few exceptional holes on the back, but nothing special. Pace of play was awesome at around 3 hours. Staff was very friendly.

Rather nice for June

Course was uncrowded, POP at 4 hours at 8:30 am. Greens we're a little sparse in places, but rolled true and a little slow. Seemed like they punched a couple weeks ago. That's typical June greens this time of year. Beer cart came by 3x during round. Weather was clear, sunny and only 100.
