Course is in nice condition. Play was slow due to one foursome that needed several reminders about pace of play. Otherwise a great day of golf, as usual. Staff is great here.

Just an Average
This course is just average in most aspects. Don't expect a round in less then 4.5 hours or to be amazed by the course. Those won't happen. But all in all it's priced accordingly.

nice course
fun course, wide fairways and true greens. Sand traps were hard surfaced though, no beverage cart and the 18th hole totally out of character for the course layout are my only negative remarks.

Great Value Golf
The Palm Desert Resort course is in good condition. It is not an overly challenging layout but is well worth playing. It is also one of the best values for golf in the valley. I do recommend it.

Minimal grass, maximum sand
Good price good location but in their attempt to minimize casts, the narrow fairways are surrounded by lots of desert. Tough play for beginners

Cool and windy
We played early in the morning and it was cold for February and windy. Other than that I enjoyed the course. We’ve played five other courses including a pga west dunes course and this one had the most consistent and best kept bunkers. The greens were very good and rolled true. Would recommend this course if you can keep it in the fairway. The front nine plays through houses and water.
