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.

The check in process was a bit hectic … we were told our threesome could go to the first tee anytime we wanted, and then a starter came down and disrupted the order as we were about to tee off. After that, the round was great. Course was in good shape and we enjoyed the round.

Fantastic Course

This course has a great layout and is fun to play. It's challenging enough, but still fair. If you're all about a fancy clubhouse and ritzy restaurant experience, this course isn't for you, but if you like to golf it's great!

Loved the views.

It is an amazing course with spectacular views for sure. Didn't like the view behind me. That would be the next set of golfers. Always felt pushed..I guess that's typical. I was there to play 18. Got to the back 9 and they stacked people in, i was never able to finish , got to dark.
