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.

Great value

This course is challenging. Fairways and putting greens were in great shape. Some areas off the fairway could use some cleaning up of debris. It was 90 degrees outside and ran out of water after nine holes. Stopped by clubhouse and no water outside in cooler. Guy behind counter was gone for lunch at 230 pm so couldn’t buy any water. Overall the starter is very friendly, course challenging and in good shape.

Cathedral Canyon is a Gem

Let’s face it - golf in Palm Springs is expensive. If you are looking for an affordable round of golf on a challenging and well kept course - Cathedral Canyon is the answer. It is by far the most affordable round in the area and the course is in great shape with lovely staff. The course is still recovering from the hurricane is some places but it’s a fun to place to play!

Has great potential

Overall course conditions were adequate but it has the potential to be so much better with some TLC and water. For what I paid I paid I would play Tahquitz Resort course.

Great value, tough course

For a great winter course in Palm Springs, look no further. The greens are in perfect shape, and the fairways are clean and running fast. Many of the tee boxes are chewed up, maybe because they don't move them and repair them, especially the par 3s. But just move your tee to a clean spot and play away. Lots of water, and the bunkers basically have no sand so we played chip shots out of them versus a bunker shot. Hooked up with a twosome from Edmonton Alberta behind us, and had lots of ribbing about the Golden Knights and Oilers rivalry. A great time!

Great for the money.

Great Value for the money! Starter was an awesome

Guy. Course has some very nice holes. Course was in good condition. Some holes are very spaced out so you need to just follow the signs. They had a hurricane that destroyed the 10th hole so they had to improvise and turn the 10th from a par 5 into a par 3. It’s easily noticeable when driving from hole 9 to hole 10. We played me + my wife in 3.5 hours at a 10:10 tee time and we were taking our time. Would definitely come back again. 10/10 experience for me today.

Overall nice course

This course did not have the best reviews but I really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, the course was well kept, views were nice. The only issue i had was we got stuck behind a group of 8 which really made for a long game, and a lot of frustrated golfers. But I would definitely go back.

Course continues to improve

The course continues to improve. The only problem is the bunkers. Most are hard packed and need to be worked on. Plenty of water hazards, so need to have good ball control. Worth playing for the price. Way better shape than more expensive courses in the area.

Pleasant day @ Cathedral Canyon

My wife and I play this course once or twice a year. The course was in good condition, with well groomed fairways. The price is right and the staff is uber friendly.

Course continues to improve

I would have rated it 5 stars, but the bunkers need work. The bunkers are hard packed with lots of grass in several of them. Played most of them as ground under repair. The rest of the course is in great shape. They have trimmed a lot of the trees back. Pace of play was good and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Worth playing if you are in the area.

Course continues to improve

I play here regularly and the course has improved a lot over the last few years. The only thing that needs immediate attention is the bunkers. Several hard parked or overgrown with weeds. The greens are in great shape and run true. People need to fix their ball marks, I fix between 4/5 on every green. The course is challenging with lots of water hazards. Worth playing if you are in the area.
