20 years after my first round at Palm Desert Resort (and a lot grayer) I still enjoyed my round! Photo submitted by salevy on 12/17/2012
Group of 6 allowed to play
Course management permitted a group of 6 to play together. This made for a 5 hour round. Should NEVER have been allowed. ⛳️ Because there is no marshall, a group of 3 jumped in front of us while we were using the restroom between 9 & 10. ⛳️ Maintenance crews were watering several greens and fairways throughout our round. ⛳️ Several times we were held up by non golfers walking in the middle of the fairways. ⛳️ The smell of pot emanated from many of the condo patios.⛳️ Pricey for a plain old ordinary tract. Nothing special.

Would play again
Booked a last minute tee time and glad we did. It was in pretty good condition and we were able to jump out sooner than our time. We flew through the course and had a great time.

A challenging golf course and good value.
The course is in reasonably good condition. The pace of play was excellent although we played starting in late morning on a hot day. It was a very good experience at a good value.
