Shaggy carpet

The course in reasonable playing conditions for mid October, except for the greens. Horrible, horrible patchy and very long greens ! It is like trying to navigate shaggy carpet with your putter.

Look elsewhere in the Coachella Valley to golf.

Marshal Manners

Brian seems to have taken his job beyond the definition of a marshal. Our foursome started 20 minutes behind schedule and a threesome and a twosome were placed in front of us out of schedule. Brian show up around the 8th hole and informs us we are behind our spot and that we should pick up the pace. When we tried to explain our plight he was not sympathetic. He even accused us of being RUDE to the other golfers on the course. We realize that it is a difficult task to manage the pace of play, but I think Brian went way beyond how a marshal should conduct himself. He should be given some lessons on manners and customer service or given a job with minimal customer contact.

Good Course Terrible Surroundings

Course reopened for the season and was in great condition. Greens were very slow, but will firm up as they get more use. The only downside were the spectators. Hole two was the first indication when my wife saw a homeless cussing at himself while I hope he was peeing but could have been playing with his putter. Then on hole 4 things went off the rails. A homeless crackhead was on the green hitting balls at the surrounding holes and golfers. Finally he ran off into the bushes so I hit my iron shot into the green, a shot to within 6 feet of the hole, but before I could get to the green to putt for birdie our friend returned and grabbed the ball and ran off. I marked it where I thought it landed and went to put but as I went to hit he returned again. Decided to move to the next hole, not engage and especially get my wife away from a bad situation. Hole 5 was uneventful but on six it started to ramp up, as we caught up to the twosome in front of us, the drunken crazy returned as stole the ball the group had just hit. They called the pro shop which was very apologetic and sent the Marshall out. The rest of the round was good until hole 14 when our buddy emerged from the bushes again, this time on a bike and stole another ball from the group ahead of us. It was getting dark and clearly not safe so we left. I dint blame the course, this is the city’s fault, they allow trash like that to flop on the streets. I will never return.

Late summer fire

The Boulder Course has always been a favorite; especially when it’s all burned out and fast. Right now the fairways may be brown but it’s gonna add 20 yards to your drives while still being an awesome playing surface. Love late season Cimmy!!!

Great course!

Visiting the area and decided to play a solo round early morning! I’d consider myself a beginner so I appreciated the open fairways and friendly staff. The course had a little bit of everything plus great views of the surrounding mountains. Would definitely love to come play again and highly recommend!
