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.

course conditions

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.

First Impression

Some challenging holes, lots of water

Fairways are a bit patchy, some bare spots

Greens are good,

Would be difficult to walk, some of the holes are really spread out

Plan to play again

We booked on GolfNow & had a tee time confirmed. Our friends booked the time immediately following. We arrived early to warm up & were told our tee time was actually 20 minutes later than what we booked, because their system and GolfNow’s were not synced, and that our tee time was taken by someone else. Our friends tee time was 1/2 an hour later than they booked. A phone call to let us know would have been appreciated. Pace of play was slow, and there was no Marshall to monitor the playing. The deal was good, but I wouldn’t rush back there.
