Great course for the money

My wife and I play a round here whenever we visit Palm Springs it’s a challenging course and reasonably priced. It is challenging enough for the above average player

Good Value

No it is not a Jack Nicholas course, but it doesn’t have Jack Nicholas pricing. We booked this course as a last minute change due to incoming weather. Cost was reasonable for a weekend. Starter was very informative and helpful. Front nine was pretty open, while back nine had more water hazards. Our round was 4.5 hours as we were behind a foursome (we were a twosome) which would be pretty standard. Course condition was fine.

OK

This course has gone down in the past few years but still playable. Greens were OK and fairways were green. Restaurant has closed.

Storm damage still evident three years later.

Gold was great value for the money

If you are here just for playing golf it is a great value. The only poor condition for a golf course was the sand traps. They were all very cheap compacted and wet so it’s hard to play out of them. Otherwise it is a great value course. Don’t expect any amenities however. It’s pretty bare bones for a golf club and definitely not a resort course with all sorts of extras. But you get what you pay for which is a pretty decent course for a value price.

Beautiful Mountain Views

This was a beautiful course. We felt it was challenging with the water and sand traps, but doable for mediocre golfers. We really enjoyed the mountain views. The carts were great. We did not go inside so we are not aware of the amenities. Would really appreciate ball washers on the course.

Nice for the price

Greens and fairways are in best shape in years. Sand traps are in rough shape. Guys in the Pro Shop are very accommodating and the older gentleman who is the starter is a pleasure to meet and start your round offf. Best course in the Desert for the price. About $80.00 for 18 holes.

Low end course priced right

Course was worth the low price. Greens were nice and fairways were in good shape. Traps are hard without much sand. Rough is dormant and very thin. Not much for amenities - no garbage cans, ball washers or bar.

Pleasantly surprised

This course was a last minute booking just to get in some swings and we were surprised on how good the course conditions were. The tee boxes and greens were excellent. The fairways were green and decent. The rough was nicely cut and looked great. Overall for what we paid, the course was a very good choice for us. The carts were clean and fully charged. The starter was very informative and it was a great value no matter how you look at it. I have paid a lot more for lesser conditions in this area so this course was a pleasant surprise. The par 3's are long just enough to make it challenging but not to where you cant score well (155 yds +).... no short ones. The pace of play was ok, but the marshal was on it and trying to pick up the pace. We will return soon enough.
