Good Value for money.

A forgiving golf course with smaller greens. Drawback was the road noise and lack of shade.

Perfect Fairways and Greens

Fairways were over seeded and were in a pristine dark green colour. Every lie on the fairways and fringes was perfect. Definitely a place to play on any visit to Palm Desert area!

1st time

Great course especially for casual golfers. Only negative of the whole experience was parts of course were dry and yellow grass. Everything else was good we already decided we will definitely play here again

Gone Downhill

Fairways and greens are okay. The rest of the course looks unkempt and neglected. Cartpaths are full of sand, water was scarce, looks like the bare minimum is being done to maintain the course. No one picked up our bags at the bag drop, no one offered to clean them after the round. No starter. Restaurant was closed at 3:30, couldn’t even buy a cold beer. Been playing there for 20 years, sadly the pride of ownership is clearly lacking, and we’re taking this course off our rotation.

Superb

This is a great layout, great combo of layout, sand and water keeps it interesting without being unfair. Fairways were perfect. Greens held your approach shot. Nothing fancy with the facilities, but great staff makes this a great value for excellent golf.

Fun course, rough around the edges.

Course was great, fun, pin placements were tough, as the greens were hard and super fast. Fairways, greens and tee boxes were great shape. Anything off the fairways was pretty rough.

Loved this course

This was a great golf course to get my golfing year started. To begin with, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The course itself was in good shape and was not all "tricked up" like some courses can be. Fairly generous landing zones off the tee, with greens that were receptive and not complicated to read.

Overall, this was a fun enjoyable round on a course I would definitely play again.
