Better that previous reviews

The staff was helpful and friendly. This is a busy place and they manage reservations thru the computer thus everyone has the big picture. Range used grass tee and balls were good. Their pricing is excellent. They offer many packages which you should look into. if you are here for a week ($349) or a “players club” which is $99, the first round is free and all subsequent round are $69 or less depending on the time of day.

As for the course, it’s not The Masters, the fairways are not shaves and the rough is not penalizing. The bunkers are well placed along the fairways but there are very few around the greens. The bunkers need a little TLC. The greens are the best part of the course. They are smooth and fast. All in all, it is a fun walk in the park at a very reasonable price.

I played on Sunday at 10AM and we were done in under 4 hours.

Well maintained

With green fees on the rise, it was good to see Cimarron continues to be well maintained - fairways, rough, bunkers, and greens were consistent through 18 holes.

Pleasantly surprised

We had never played this course but it was good. Course was in excellent shape. 4 hour round of golf. Course is relatively straight but was really enjoyable. Great value. Clubhouse food and service was very good. We will definitely play it again.

Decent regulation & par 3 courses

Boulder Course as with the rest of the course has almost zero trees. But lots & lots

of bushes that'll rob you of your golf balls. Then you will find all kinds of balls

while looking for your ball in the wash lol.

Every time you find some kind of groove. It all comes to grinding halt from the

slow play. The day I went there was a long, long wait to get a golfcart.

Pebble Course is a challenging par 3 lay-out very similar to the Boulder Course.

Haven't had the same logjam of players on the par 3 whenever I've gone.

Worst golf experience in Coachella Valley

We have been coming to Palm Desert for over 25 years each winter, and love it here and have never had such a horrible experience. The course condition and layout is decent ,other than many holes you have to park far away from greens which slows play. Not having proper bathrooms, and only porta potties for the price is unacceptable and no water when it is 90 degree weather and using Covid as an excuse, is terrible. Every other course provides water. The worst part is there is no Marshall and we had a group of drunk guys in front of us, who took 25 minutes to finish a par 3 causing an exceptional backup. When my husband called clubhouse , about situation they said they would send someone out which they did not. We quit, because of this group holding us up, and being drunk carrying they’re beer cans onto green. I went into the pro shop and complained to the fellow working and he had no answers other than to say they have no staff. I did say if those guys get behind the wheel of a car and caused an accident because of being sold too much alcohol, they would be responsible, and he refused that theory. Very disappointed. Only golf there if you are desperate.

Spectacular views.

I love this course and play it every year when we come here. However, there is always a cart problem, which is a negative.

Windy but worth it

Cimarron is open and exposed to the wind but is a fair test of golf. No gimmicky holes at all. Very enjoyable!

Great Value

This course has great value. Very reasonable green fees and good access to tee times. The course is great shape and well designed for moderate golfers, particularly couple with wide open fairways, but challenging layout. Pace of play was slow. No water on course, nor beverage cart. The club house is not conveniently located when making the turn, but this is a course my wife and I will continue to play each time we’re in the Valley.

Loved it

I played here with my wife and we really liked the course. Very well kept. Good pace of play it took 4hrs to play 18. We played on a Saturday morning and didn’t get paired with anyone else which was nice. The layout was well done. Greens were quick and well kept. Tee boxes could of been cut a little shorter but otherwise no complaints. Great price for what you get as well

Nice bare bones golf

The golf was nice but surprisingly there is no water on the course and the clubhouse is too far from the turn to get a snack or even water without losing your place. One device cart means < 1 visit per 18. Pace of play 4 h for 18 midweek. Staff seemed overworked and curt. If I go again, I will bring my own beverages and snacks.
