Pace of play was terrible. We waited over 10 plus minutes on every hole. Need a Marshall out there.

Not for the money

Course was in nice shape, layout was ok. I hate to say it but I feel like you can do better for cost to play here. No real complaints except that. No GPS on the carts might be my only other complaint.

Friendly, helpful staff

One of the staff came to our car and carried my clubs to the starting area,while I was checking in at pro shop.greens and fairways were in very good condition. It recently came out of overseeding, and we had to do 90 degrees with power cart,but no problem. .power carts had ball and club cleaning on them.

Great day for golf

Nice course.

Had an excellent time. pace of play was outstanding, and the only negative was the course was just coming out of overseeding. In a few weeks course conditions should be excellent.

Staff, Pace of Play and Couse Condition Excellent

The Starter got me out no problem. He was very efficient with carts, ice and introducing me to my playing partners. The course was in exceptional condition for the price. This course was in the best condition of all the course I played on my Palm Desert Golf vacation. One of my hobbies is cultivating a fine fairway lawn. If a courses lawn is better than mine I am really pleased. This course passed the test. I tied my best score ever and the conditions helped considerably with that. Thanks for an exceptional round. The carts were in quality condition and the nice lady that was receiving and maintaining them was very informative. I will be back each time I visit Palm Desert and will always recommend this course as a must stop to my Golf Buddies.

GolfNow Didn't Work

I had a reservation at this course 9/27 (confirmation #382172307, but needed to cancel it due to a medical issue. Despite the online terms, GolfNow gave me no way to do that. The sign-in and reset password functions didn't work, and there was no contact ph# or email. I finally put my info in a chat box on their site, but no reply. That I'm having to say this in a review box indicates how poor the service has been. I'd still like a credit, or my money back!
