Mission Hills-Gary Player

Excellent layout. Super slow round with the foursome ahead at a turtle pace. We opted to play the front nine twice in order to finish.

Outstanding layout at affordable rates

Had a overall great time playing Mission Hills for the first time. Challenging holes, beautiful backdrops. Starter (originally from Iowa) super friendly and helpful! Sorry, forgot his name. Pace of play was good. Our group caught a slower 3 some and slowed it a bit, but overall good. Fairways and greens were really good shape. We will return for sure.

Poor Golf Course

Very average overpriced golf course at best. Fairways were s very skimpy overseed. Rough did not exist as it was mostly dirt and sand. Pro-shop personnel were friendly, stater was very good but the snack bar was very crass as if she was doing us a favor by being there. I attempted to buy a beer at the turn, rang the little bell and she just walked out and away.

This course should not be priced above $50 in the condition it was in.

If a course is built, it should be played. If you don't like it don't go back. I nor my friends will not be back.

In good shape

Our foursome played the course in a little over 4 hours, finishing just before 5:30. Good pace and tempo. We were neither held up or pushed by other groups.

The course is in great shape and a pleasure to play.

The staff is friendly and helpful.

Everything here is as it should be. There are no surprises. I will be back for more.

Fine Course if you get a deal

Greens a bit slow but consistent. Fairways in very good shape. Tee boxes quite beat up. Rough not good at all with lots and lots of bare dirt. Bunkers were okay for the most part but some fairway bunkers need some maintenance. Pace was slow but okay. No Marshalls in sight all day. Overall a decent course to play and considering what the prices are in the area now, if you can get it for $100 or less, it is worth playing.

Better now

Now that Troon is no longer managing the course, it appears to be better run and in better shape. Kudos to JCGolf for saving this property.

Enjoyed chatting with the ladies in the pro shop, as well as the guys out by the starting area and by the bag drop - everyone was very personable. I see the price has gone up a bit, but thought it was fair for Palm Springs in the winter. I think I'll come back later this year and see if it is still in fine shape.

Overated for the price

The course was in very poor condition. Fairways had a very skimpy overseed. Greens were very good but so hard you couldn't hold a sand wedge. Off the fairways was basically nothing but dirt. A fair price might be around $50 not $150. People in the snack bar were rude. The starter was very polite and helpful. These were the worse conditions I've ever played in the desert during my 30 years of playing in the desert/

I will not be back!

Disappointed

Bought a hot deal for $92, playing at noon on a Tuesday. To start things off I have to state that I was really looking forward to playing this course and was hoping that I would love it. Unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be the case. While the fairways were in good shape I was not impressed with the ruff which consited of burnt grass and quote a bit of dirt mounds. The tee boxes were decent but littered with broken tees. I think it was the first course I have been to in PS that did not have a cup or bin to put your broken tees, consequently people just left them lying around. The greens had numerous ball marks which had not been repaired and the sand traps were not great (some missing rakes). I have played a number of courses in the area over the past month and this is the first sub average review I have left. Ameneties at the course were also not really worthy of a course that costs so much to play. On the positive, the staff were excellent to deal with. Very friendly and helpful. As a price comparrison I have played the Dessert Princess a couple of times and feel that is a much all round superior course.
