PARCHED

The Course Management has decided we don't need water or trash cans. If you plan to play on a HOT day, be sure to bring enough water. The excuse I was given was that the "Homeless People" steal the water jugs, therefore they have decide4d NOT to replace them after Covid.

Too bad. I like the Course when the weather is cool enough, but this will change my decision to play there.

A round with some pluses and minuses

The course was backed up when we arrived an hour early, so we had to wait around just to get our gear loaded on a cart. The starter told us that they were running 30 min behind and that was about right. There is a good driving range and large practice green. The cart has a great GPS device - which also alerts you to the pace of play (which ran about 12 min slow on the first nine but didn’t get worse on the back nine). The course is pretty basic with wide fairways on most holes; five par threes and four par fives. The 3s and 5s ran quite long even from the forward tees. Considerable washes on some holes, but they were mostly not in play. Greens were in good shape and pretty fast. No gimmicks on any holes and few holes with water in play. No drinking water on the course and restrooms were hot portajohns at two locations (negative). The Palm Springs Airport is adjacent to the course and there was a steady stream of planes coming and going throughout our round - not a problem. Much less shade than on other courses we have played here this month.

Nice course. We’ll maintained

Nice course. Seemed a bit crowded as we waited at most holes. Pace was about 4:15. Very hot and no cart service until the 15th hole.. it would be nice to have water available along the course.. a nice overall layout and in very good condition.

Got behind a out of town tournament

Course is in good condition. Fairways are in good shape. Green are tough, traps are what I expected for this course. It hard for them to keep sand in the traps with as much wind as they get. Wished marshal would have come around earlier. Slow play from hole two. Marshal showed up on hole 13 and said he just found one of the tournament groups with 3 holes open in front of them. Pace picked up on 14. GET THE MARSHAL OUT Regularly !!! 830 tee time. Finished at 1 10.

Course is a good layout, flat and forgiving

Course was in fantastic shape, pace was ok nothing to really complain about,. Should have a marshal get around because group behind us thought it was a recreation course, one guy had flip flops on, another guy had his shirt off, was just tacky and I had my lady with me. I actually yelled at them because they hit up on us twice, without a “simple four!!” Just common courtesy they lacked, trashy group of guys kinda made it a little unpleasant. Anyway I love the course and have the players card which is an awesome deal. Look forward to making Cimarron my home course and actually become a member??!!

Green grasd

Always a nice course to play but open to the wind. Some trees and flowers would add a lot to the course. The fairways and greens are looked after very well. Will definitely be back many more times

The course is out in the desert

The course is very nice but placed out in the desert with nothing to stop the wind. And the wind was brutal that day and took away a lot of the enjoyment. I have played the course before in good weather conditions and really enjoyed it. Hence why I keep coming back to it.
