Nothing fancy but course was in good condition. There is a lot of water on the course. Nice, friendly staff. No on-course amenities (e.g., ranger, beverage cart).

Very Scenic
This course is well laid out between condos on all sides with water on half the holes and sand traps on numerous holes. The greens were in good shape and were very fast. We were impressed with the scensry with the mountains so close. It was also interesting watching the continuous overflights of the aircraft on approach to the Palm Springs airtport. All in all a very nice course.

Great course
We've played this course several times and always have a great time. Some very tough holes (for our caliber of golf).
Considering the river running through the course last week, it was in really good shape. The bunkers seem to be better than last time we played here. Greens are fast and fair.

No evidence of any money being spent on this course in recent years. Washrooms on back nine closed and locked up. Fairways very patchy. I usually play once every year when I visit. Will be dropping it from my rotation going forward.
