2nd time (played here 7 years ago)

Course is satisfactory. A few bumpy greens. Bar closed at 2 pm which was before our 9-10 turn. I’d play again, but probably not this trip - maybe next time..

Really fun course!

This course is conveniently located in Palm Springs, near downtown itself. It is a little bit expensive, $150 each, but you get what you pay for. Wide-open fairways nothing too challenging, pace of play was excellent, really enjoyed the course. Looking forward to our next trip to Palm Springs.

Course in poor shape

The course is in terrible shape! Fairways have dirt patches and dead grass. Greens are in bad shape as well. Also, the driving range was one of the worst in recently memory. One positive, the staff was very courteous.

Bad conditions

The staff friendly and good service. The fairways you had to look for grass often. Let’s not talk about the greens.

Love this place!

Have been coming here since 1995. Airmas in pro shop is a great guy. Zack with the golf carts another great guy!

The value is terrific plus the average level of difficulty keeps the score in a fair and reasonable level.

Love the history of the place too. Goes back to 1959.

Glad they survived the “Save PS Golf” thing too!

Will be back with my sons.

The fairways are too long and covered with weeds

Greens slow and in need of repair. This is not the same course I played 7 years ago. It needs a lot of repairs

Unlike Desert Willow, Tahquitz Legend always delivers

Staff always friendly and welcome vs. Desert Willow snotty. Greens much better than Desert Willow too - faster and smoother. Played in 2 hr 45 minutes. Only saw a few singles. No fivesomes like Desert Willow. Worth the extra driving time. Driving range open; Desert Willow closed 11AM-2PM. Legend nice long, mostly straight, no hills, mid-long par 4s and 5s. Big Boy course. Don't play Legend if you can't get off the tees.

Paid for 18, wasn’t allowed to finish

I paid for a tee time around 5, but was told I had to have the cart back more than an hour before sunset. No warning was given when booking the time, and no one answered the phone when I tried calling literally 5 times to ask. I couldn’t hit the range with rental clubs because no one was there to check me in for 20 minutes.

This is becoming common place with this industry. The stupidest people running businesses must be in the golf business! Closing early because it's...hot. I hear the 2 courses here may be bought and made into a preserve. It serves them right!

Good course, unwelcoming staff

Enjoyed the course but staff did nothing to make you feel welcome. Desert Island close by a much better proposition

Nice holiday course

Enjoyed the round. Nice course albeit a bit tight in places. Good condition. Didn’t find the staff welcoming so didn’t use the facilities- unlike Desert Island the previous day where the staff were so welcoming we stayed for drinks and some food.
