Very sad

We used to love this old course, but they have chosen not to properly maintain it. We were told there was not enough seed available to take care of both courses so the south course got it all. That doesn’t explain why the bunkers were practically unplayable. Give your customers a price discount for having to endure this. On the plus side, the staff was outstanding.

If you want a dog track, this is your course.

This course is in very poor condition. The areas on both sides of the fairways

are raw and uncared for. Greens are rough and unpredictable. I would pay

$39 to play here, but no more.

The greens!!!

Are in bad shape. Bumpy. Make putting extremely difficult. Which would be ok, but there should have been a discounted rate.

Staff was outstanding except for the very grumpy starter.

Otherwise we usually really enjoy this grand old course.

Overpriced for Condition of Course

Love this course, have played many times over the years. Beautiful views, really like the layout. Cart paths have always been marginal, but now you can’t even call them paths. They have not kept up the course and it looks tired, rough, and sad from neglect. Yet, they are still charging top dollar - unfortunately you don’t know the poor conditions until you get out on the course and they already have your $90 (and that was with a discount!) They need to be honest and upfront about the neglected condition, and charge accordingly. I will not be back until they improve conditions. It’s so unfortunate- I fear it’s too far gone to bring back unless they have truckloads of $$$ to throw at it.

Worst greens Not worthy of the title greens

Most uncared for course and worst greens I have ever played on. .will never play it again and will definitely not recommend it . It was our last opportunity to play golf ending off our vacation in Palm Springs. What a huge disappointment. Thought of asking for a refund. Had played Desert Island the day before and had a great day on a great course. Because Indian Canyon was the same price we were expecting more. An extreme example of an neglected course. .

A little rough around the edges

We’ve enjoyed this course for many years and after 2 yrs of covid absence we were greatly looking forward to our return south in Jan 2022. Covid supply chain issues gets the blame apparently for the course conditions as course management were not able to source sufficient grass seed for winter over seeding which resulted in many brown patches and thin turf along fairway edges and around greens. This may’ve also resulted in the poor greens as they were patchy and bumpy. Still very playable and enjoyable, it is not the beautiful lush course experienced precovid. Most if not all fairway bunkers were left unmaintained and played as ground under repair, which certainly helped my game.

Still a pleasant course with excellent friendly staff that make up for any course condition shortcomings. We’ll be looking forward to better course conditions upon our return south next winter.
