Sad

In 2023 this course is in sad shape. Cows would wonder why they were placed in this pasture.

I played this course many times in 2020 and liked it, found it in good condition.

For Coachella Valley, this course isfar below the average Greens Fee price. My Golf Now price with discounts made it a fair value -- I got what I paid for relative to other courses in CV.

Okay, Hole #10 was flooded out and had to be shorted to a Par 3. At the "new" tee-box the Management could not be bothered to put any signage telling us the new Yardage. That is indicative of the overall care going into this course.

Beware, the course tells you "good shape" except hole #10. That is a lie. Hole #1, also prone to flood, is 1/2 sand and 1/4 ground under repair.. Holes #2 and #3 are only slightly better. On the other hand, as you keep playing the fairways get better and match the maintenance of a fair rural muni. (which this is not).

In fairness, the Greens are in good shape. The staff was excellent. Carts clean and good shape.

the greens were in good shape mostly. The fairways were in terrible shape. and the rough was even worse. We were bumping our ball everywhere so we could find some grass

They didn't actually have the T-Time

The course overbooked and attempted to blame GolfNow. The manager claimed that she'd called me but I had never received a VM, text or email. The starter ultimately let us play at a later T-Time. We were then stopped on the 4th hole by the manager demanding that we follow her to the clubhouse claiming that I hadn't provided payment although I had provided my card on both golfnow and in the pro-shop. I provided my card to them again for payment, completed our round and that will be my last experience with Cathedral Canyon. Play elsewhere

Starters are wonderful people.

My wife and I play here once a year to see if course conditions improve. Sadly they have not. I will say the greens are excellent, but the rest of the course is not kept up at all. It's too bad because the homes in Cathedral Canyon are very nice and it's a shame to have the course in such despair. We'll probably go back again next year to check it out. If nothing else we'll say HI to Assa.

Course conditions

The course is a mud hole on the front nine. Overall it is in rough shape. The greens were over sanded. The fairways are ok, not nice. 75 yards from the greens is mostly dirt or tight packed short grass making clean solid contact with short wedges difficult. The finishing hole par 5 was a good hole. I am a 10 handicap and won't play there again.

Price

Got on for 35$. But tee time was early 7:30. The course is still suffering from flooding. Hole #10 had forward tees. The fairways are need of some care. But the greens were excellent. I don’t mind all the water seem like it was on every hole. I would play this course regularly regardless of the poor fairways

This course is a mess! No driving range. Water leaks in the irrigation system. Hard to find your ball because of varying grass and weed colors!
