Even better than the last time

What a difference playing from the correct tees. As a senior playing from the silvers was a bit much (578 par 5, 232 par 3 for a 210-220 driver)last week. Played golds and perfect match for how I hit & play. Course in just great condition only thing tough was the weather teeing off at 92 F and finishing at 100 F. Really enjoyed the play and would recommend to my friends all day long. Practice green and chipping greens were being punched this day which resulted in the discounted rate but sometimes you have to maintain things if you want them in great condition. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Palm.

A Mission Too Far

2nd time here. Shotgun start due to cold weather mornings in the Valley this year.Liked almost everything about the course. As a 14-16 handicapper I should have played the silver gold combo not just silver-my bad. Tees & fairways awesome c/w nasty greens that almost always break towards Indio. The wind adding to the already long play I shot an extra 5 to my normal score..Holes 10-12 quite interesting especially the huge elevation drop and ravine components on #11 the #1 handicap hole.. Yes play this course but on the correct tees.

Amazing golf course with the most unfriendly staff

Just want to begin by saying this is one of the best courses in the desert. Amazing conditions, but the wind can be a nightmare, but it’s worth it on a non windy day. Amazing course. The staff was not friendly at. First off nobody was there and I asked one questioned and they acted liked it was the end of the world. Also when booking on GolfNow I thought I made a tee time. The starter in the pro shop said to me, “ are you signed up for the shotgun at 12:30pm” I said no I made a tee time. He precedes to tell me that I am signed up for the shotgun and everyone who had made tee times through GolfNow was very confused by this as well. Also shotgun starts are for huge groups of people. There was maybe 6 or 7 groups that went out, so if this is how the course sets up tee times for non members this would be a turn off for me personally.

Extremely windy!

We called the clubhouse from the first hole and asked if there was any way to get a rain check, as it was so windy we were pretty much being blown off the tee box and it was extremely chilly! They said no, because we had already booked and paid for it online. That seemed like a pretty lame excuse for not giving us a rain check. We played 9 holes, because we felt if we paid for it, we should play it. After 9 holes we gave up and went home. It was the worst golf experience we have ever had Desert Hot Springs and we won't be back. Extremely disappointing!

Rude management

Staff is extremely rude. Booked a 1:30 tee time and insisted that they close at 4:30 and all carts had to be in by then. Talked them into letting us play until 5:00 after a very rude interaction with the manager (Dave)Not possible to play 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours.

Nice surprise. Definitely coming back.

Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps were all very well tended. The course is both wide open (good for beginners) and target focused (good for more advanced players.

We completed a round in less than four hours. It is March, so there was wind but not unplayable… it just added to the enjoyable difficulty and made me think more about club distances. I scored just under 90, normal for me.

Worth the drive

Played it for the first time and while a bit off the beaten path it was fun to play.

The pace of play was pretty slow and wish there was a ranger keeping tabs on things. We had a twosome in front of us who thought it was ok to play 2 balls each while we waited for them and eventually we’re not able to get our full round as a result.
