Seen better days

What a disappointment, after seeing the pictures. First off "we ran out of range balls, so you can't warm up". And the poor condition of the tees, fairways, greens is quite remarkable. Bunkers have mud in them, tee boxes aren't level and very little grass. The pin placements were very difficult, which is not a bad thing if the course was in nice shape. But it adds insult to injury if you're trying to hit from a crappy lie and the greens are super hard and fast, to have the pin near the apron on a slope. There are so many nice places to play in this area, don't waste your time here.

I played this course on March 5 2023. It’s what we call a goat ranch in Canada. Anybody thinking of playing this course, Don’t

What a disappointment to the Palm Springs golf experience!

This place is inexpensive for good reason! The course is in bad disrepair. How can there be so much bald, missing and brown grass in the middle of winter? Fences falling down, poor signage, cart paths that go "this way and that" without direction. An overall disappointing "ghetto course" experience. If it wasn't for the pace of play (2 hours 55 minutes) and the excellent friendly staff and Bloody Mary's (the best ever at Jax course bar) I would have given it 1 star all the way around. I won't ever play here again, despite the cheap greens fees! Pay $20-50 more and go play somewhere else!

Overall course in good condition, front nine fairways grass was sparse very tight lies, back had bit more grass little easier to hit off. Greens were fast and ran pretty true, most of greens slope back to front need to stay below the flag.

Layout is great lots of water in play can easily get in a lot of trouble.

Enjoyable round

Don't Be Fooled by the Website Images

This course is in TERRIBLE condition. Barely any grass on the fairways with far too much debris on the course (that could easily be removed). The greens seems to have a mold of some sort... would not recommend this course to anyone.
