Terrible course

This is the worst course in the desert and probably the worst course I have ever played. And I have played a lot of golf over the years.

Fun Course

Conditions are good. Better than other reviews I have read. They have almost lost a few greens, but still puttable. Fairways were nice and tee boxes ok.

Course has issues

No green on the 10th hole (just a rough mowed area of the "fairway". Fairways in many locations have no grass - just dirt. Greens are quick (where there is grass). On site restaurant is "closed for the season" as of May 19 2023.

Very few people on course. With cart, easy to complete round in 3 hours 20 minutes.

Par 3 course

The course is fun to play . The residents are not real welcoming. Near the 12th hole a resident came towards us to tell the group that we were ruining their property value with the color of our skin.

In repair, end of season

I’d like to qualify my “not recommend “ with a note: Wait until next winter. The restaurant is closed for summer, and the greens are in bad shape. A couple holes have been affected by weather.

Staff was great, price appropriate for conditions.

Lots of trees

Trees make the heat very tolerable. This is a good choice for those dreading the intense sun of the desert.

Water Everywhere

Conditions at the time I played were not Palm Springs like for this time of the year, but for the reduced prices they are charging, it is a good choice for a practice round. The torrential rains only damaged the first hole on the mountain nine. It is virtually unplayable due to the damage to the fairway from flooding. The rest of the course featured smooth rolling greens, but hard dirt-like bunkers. The fairways are hard and thin, so it's a good idea to play preferred lies in the fairway (winter rules everywhere else). That being said, this course layout is extremely difficult. There is more water on this course than the courses at PGA West: sometimes on both sides of the fairway.

Bit Beat Up

Course was pretty beat up. Greens were dry, patchy & inconsistent. Staff were great, not sure if we'll return. Decent value for the money.
