Perfect golf weather

The golf course played very nicely. Good grass and the greens ran with a nice pace. The only snafu was 18th hole had four groups on it when we got there. Kind of a bottleneck finishing hole. But all in all a good experience.

Course in great shape

Course was in great shape. Unfortunately, golfers in front of us were placed in front of our group due to a “ lost reservation!” It slowed down on the back 9.

Nice Course

Course was in good condition and enjoyable to play. Some of the fairways are a little narrower than what I prefer, but still reasonable. Overall, a nice course.

Course Manages Heavy Rain the Best

Wonderful weather for our fifth round i the Palm Springs area. This track showed no ill effects from the rains this past week. Played the black tees, not a significant difference here. No GPS on the carts, so would need your own rangefinder if you're so inclined. 100 yd markers. The course layout is on the back of the scorecard, but tiny. Water & actual layout isn't as obvious on the back nine as the front. Big slicers or hookers may find a patio of one of the villas lining the fairways. No beverage cart on the course when we played. All in, we'd play it again.

Starter needs to be more on the ball.

Starter was quite confused and was running around from the pro shop to the driving range looking for players who didn't show up? Why? If people don't show up then you send the next group? we watched and Hole 1 was completely open and we were ready to play and instead of sending us out he continually was looking for people?

What Course Are We Playing

A very interesting day indeed.

We played Desert Palm resort country club.

Our driver thought we were playing Palm Desert country club and we were ready to check in when we realized we were at the golf course.

In the parking lot was a young man who was not feeling well was slumped in his van, and we attended to him by putting him In Trendelenburg position and waited for the paramedics to arrive.

We got to our real course/teatime and made it with about 10 minutes to spare.

This course was in very good condition, and it is always nice to see green fairways and green greens.

The course set up was interesting and fun, and even when Holes were difficult, we enjoyed ourselves, and really enjoyed the fine condition of this course.

The true test of any review is really to answer the question would you play the course again and I would resoundingly say yes and I hope to play again

For those reading, trust me this is a course worth playing
