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.

Always a great time

The pro shop staff, starters, cart girls and restaurant staff are among the friendliest and courteous at any course I have ever played. For the amount of play the Cimarron gets, nobody seems to ever get frazzled or short with people. It is a great course and one that anybody who visits the Palm Springs area should play.

Good value

All the greens are spotty and did not roll true. Maybe that’s normal summer time desert conditions. Lot of bumpy putts. Pace of play was not great as the 4some in front seems to be playing a 2 man scramble. We waited on just about every shot on the back 9. Would have been nice if they let us played thru considering we were waiting on them every shot. Course Marshal was great even brought the water jug to us to fill up. The rental Callaway Mavericks were in decent shape.

Course Shape

Overall, for July, I’m pretty good shape. The greens were hurting a bit…bare spots and rough jumping putts. Fairways were dry in spots, but pretty good. Tee boxes in great shape. Overall good for this time of year and fantastic value.

Ok for a low cost round

The good...fairways are in reasonably good condition for this time of year. Greens are recovering from punching and sanding about 2 weeks ago, The bad... I don't think the greens will rate more than 3 stars even after they heal and there is nothing "attractive" about the views of the course itself. No trees anywhere and almost every hole is fairway, rough, desert and green. No doglegs, Almost no water hazards, just straight. Nothing interesting. It's a great value on GolfNow.com and worth your time if you just need to get in a "warm-up/practice round". Other than that, there are much better choices in the Palm Springs-to-Indio area which are WAY better and not much more money.

Great fun

They had just punched the greens so putting was dicey, but what a fun round. Great lies if you keep it in the playing area. And great lies green side. It was the experience I was looking for with my beginning golfer son. Plenty of room and not too penalizing if your not perfect. Would love to come back and play when the greens recover! Water jugs throughout the course is great! Thank you for caring about the golfers in the heat.

Good course for the price. Would play again.

My buddy and I played on a Saturday morning around 8 am. The course has a straightforward layout and almost no water that comes into play. There are waste areas on the course but easy to play out of. Greens were firm and did not hold approach shots very well but they putted slower than expected. Other than one green which was damaged from some idiots doing donuts in their cart, the rest of the greens were fine for this time of year. There are no houses on the left and right side of holes like a lot of courses in PS, so no need to worry about breaking any windows or tee shots landing on someone's roof. We finished in just under 4 hours and would play again.

Good course for the price

I’ve played here many times. Good idea to check wind forecast. Course is in good shape overall. Greens always good. Winds can really kick up in the afternoon, which was the case. Know, and take advantage of the local rule on the scorecard, free drop from the sand wash that borders many of the holes.
