Nice track!
Great shape. Got a good deal thru GolfNow. Awesome range. Greens were small but very true. Fairways beautiful. 18th is a bit tough! Over all a great course and would definitely play again.

Beautiful Resort Coursr
This was our first time in the Valley and the first course we played. We were nicely treated by Sharon at check-in, and John our starter. Course was beautifully maintained as a resort course. Nice wide fairways and large greens. A few water holes thrown in for more challenge. Pricing was fair for the peak season in Palm Desert. My wife and I were paired with Don and Dennis from Canada - eh! Great gentlemen to play with. We will play this course again next week.

worthwhile option
The course winds thru the gated community, holes were fun, not overly challenging, a few that require some precision. We went early, so pace of play was not an issue. Would recommend it.

Finish in the dark
Beware if you tee off after 130 pm you will likely play 17 and 18 in the dark. Course was completely booked up and even though things kept moving you will wait on some tee boxes. The course overall was fine. They probably should tell folks playing the afternoon in January that you will not get a full 18 holes in.

Excellent Value and Course Conditions
I paid $100 and the course was in excellent condition, especially the greens. The club house staff and the cart personnel were so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this course. Have great practice facilities as well. Hole 18 is very challenging as wraps up a challenging course.
