Interesting / Challenging Layout

An interesting course with a lot of variety and challenge in the layout. The “Valley of Despair” was in play for about five of the holes, making for an additional challenge off the tee. We saw Roadrunners, Rabbits, and Ducks on several of the holes. One additional benefit was that each golf cart was equipped with an accurate GPS. Overall, a great day golfing that I would recommend to anyone visiting the Palm Springs area.

It was a cold rainy windy day. Course was in good shape except for the sand traps that had chunks of gravel n them. The sand was extra heavy from the rain, but no excuse for the gravel.

Interesting / Challenging Layout

Overall, a good combination of hole layouts, distances, and features (sand, water, bushes, etc). A few of the holes involved the “Valley of Despair”, certainly both a mental and a physical challenge. With the open layout and relatively good conditions (fairways and greens), the course is forgiving and there is a relatively low chance of losing a ball. One extra feature was that all carts came with a gps (that was as accurate as my phone app).

Crabby staff and slow play ruined the day for me

Our tee time was 12:51, and we didn’t tee off until 1:15 because there were not enough carts and a backup on the starting hole. Staff were rude and run off their feet trying to find carts for everyone.. although the course was in good shape, the pace of play 4 hours 40 minutes) made it a disappointing day all around.

As mentioned above, my main concerns were the 25 minute delay in teeing off because there were no carts available and staff were quite rude (probably because they didn't have enough carts and people were not happy about it). I realize sometimes things get backed up, but if staff had explained the delay when we arrived and apologized for it, then it wouldn't have been a big deal. Instead, they were brusque and implied it was our fault that we wanted a cart. The pace of play was also a concern and we didn't see a marshall all afternoon so it appears no one cared that is was a 4 hour 40 minute round.

Way Overbooked

Played this course many times. It was so overbooked that we started 20 minutes late. There were two groups ahead of us that were at least 2 holes behind by the 7 th hole. When we phoned to get the Marshall, we were told that he had gone home. Inexcusable. Like the course otherwise. Just too greedy by overbooking. Short term thinking. I will think twice before booking here again.

Cart shortage

We were so disappointed ☹️

There were 50 players stacked up waiting for carts.

45 -60 min delayed start. We couldn’t finish because the sunset on the 16th hole. Staff was working hard but bottom line is they over book tee times and don’t have enough carts from 10am to 2pm daily! Never will go again. No bathrooms on the course and you don’t go past the clubhouse at the turn. I wish the starter told us there were only Port a potties on two holes ONLY.

I’m so bummed we spent $80 PP for such a pitiful experience. There was a dirt bike on the course terrorizing golfers for 4 hours before law enforcement was contacted. It was weird.
