Worst course in Palm Desert

You’ll pay $100 to have completely no amenities on a barely green golf course. You’ll have a chain saw going off in every back swing. And if you don’t hear a chain saw, you’ll hear pickleballs being whacked from all corners of the course. The range was closed, no cart girl, and no cafe. This place simply takes the cake for the worst course in Palm desert.

Good course with over-worked employees

The personnel at the course are wonderful. They suggested we grab some lunch and start a bit later than scheduled if we wanted to play a slower, more leisurely game. The snack bar was recommended, but it was unexpectedly closed so we went to the clubhouse - cost twice as much for the same food.

We understood why the snack bar was closed - there were two people working the carts and starting because they were short of staff.

When we returned near sunset, the woman who had been working the carts was still doing so, and obviously exhausted, but managed a cheerful smile and attitude for us.

We felt badly for her. Doubt the club pays here well enough for how hard she works, and don't like to see people treated this way. There's a reason why a business can't get/keep employees...

Nice Course

Course in very good shape. Rough is brown but fairways nice and green. Greens in good condition. Overall nice track. Hard finishing hole.

Would definitely play again.

Bring your own food!

No food available for golfers - the cafe at the turn was closed - clubhouse has not taken over responsibility to provide golfers with options for sustenance as they come through.

How ridiculous to have signage saying 'No outside food or drinks', then not have the ability to provide them to golfers.

If you're going to charge full rates, provide full services!!

Fair value for the money

The greens were fairly fast and in good shape, most of the rest of the course was pretty good (a few areas were less than good). I was paired with two others and as a threesome the pace of play was good behind foursomes. As always when you play a new course you look back and say I would have played a few holes a little different but it was a fun layout.

We had some pretty strong winds a times which of course made a few holes a little tougher than normal.

I would play it again if it comes up.

This a a great course for the green fees.

I played this course in the afternoon and the pace of play was reasonable finishing in the dark on 18. The course is in good shape with few unusual conditions. It was a good value for the green fees.
