Cimarron's Boulder course is desert in location, but almost links in feel. It's hard to imagine even the most beer-cart-fueled hacker thinking they're in Scotland. Considering the bright sun, the striking San Jacinto Mountains and all. But …

"We've had many golfers tell us it reminds them of the British Open," head pro Jason Janke said. "For what we have in the desert, this is probably the closest course to that."

At 6,782 yards from the back tees, Cimarron challenges with length and accuracy. It's wise to keep your ball in the fairway here or you'll get some up-close desert views. Still with three par 4s over 450 yards and two par 5s over 560 yards, bombing away with your driver is anything but completely ignored.

Fun course

Played the Boulders course. Great course to warm up your swing on. Generous fairways but still a challenge in length. Greens very smooth. Washroom facilities were only out houses though. My wife was not impressed. Will definitely play here again!

Good Value

I booked the course because there was an available tee time for the next day and the price was reasonable by comparison to other courses. I enjoyed my round and the challenge of the holes. I have a walking disability so was allowed to take my cart just about anywhere which allowed me to keep pace with my partners. I know I can score better so booked another round after my finish.

One serious drawback is that there is no drinking water on the golf course, so take your own water. And the restrooms are portable.

The golf staff was friendly and helpful.

Post Over Seeding Review

The over seeding was done about 4 weeks ago. The fairways were generally in good shape with a few dry or bare spots. Greens rolled fast and true. The sand bunkers were all crap! no sand, over spray from over seeding growing in the bunkers, hardpan or wet with some puddling. No bottled water on the carts nor tee's. Saw a single cart girl on 13th fairway and she sped right by us without stopping to ask if we needed anything. Marshals may have been out but I did not see one the whole round. I play the coarse about 6 times a year and this was by far the least enjoyable experience not sure I will make the journey from Indio to this coarse again unless the greens fees come down which I doubt they will due until out of season.

No refreshment

It's was hot and slow which was expected. However, it would have been nice to have a refreshment cart available to purchase drinks on the course. M

In great condition

Forcing carts off the fairways 100+ feet from the green is nuts, but we really enjoyed the course. Greens and fairways in great shape.

We found the course in great shape after just reopening but for the past couple of years we have been concerned with the homeless people on course especially on some of the back nine holes. There is a par 3 back there you cannot see your cart from the tee box and you have some of these folks walking around. hope you don't have anything valuable in your cart. This is really too bad because this is a great course with great value for the price charged.

Great course and staff!

We hadn’t played Cimarron in a couple of years. We booked it as they had early tee times at reasonable prices compared with most in the Coachella Valley. We arrived at the course early and the starter was kind enough to let us play early. We hit a nice pocket and finished in 3.25 hours! The fairways and greens were in excellent shape!! All of the staff was very friendly! Will definitely play there again!
