Fun Challenging Course 18th WOw
This was a great course. I never play very well on a course I haven’t played before. Very well kept up… even though some of the grass to the sides of the fairways have seen better days.. the actual greens and fairways were in great shape. I would’ve appreciated some instruction on how to get through the 18th hole.

We played this course while in Palm Springs on vacation in February. The fairways and greens were in beautiful condition. Nothing bad to say! We had a great time.

Easily one of the slowest rounds I've ever played and I gave up after hole 13, I won't be playing this course every again and I don't recommend it due to the pace of play.

Pace of play was very poor , no marshall all day? I have played this course 15 or more times and have never been more than 4 hours and 15 mins. We were 4:45? Perhaps a proper marshall would have sped play up.

We enjoyed our day here.
This was a nice course. It was in fantastic condition. Not to tight off the tee and not real hard. I would play iy again on my next trip to Palm Springs. Got a good price on Tee Off. One thing to be careful of. there is another course nearby with pretty much the same name. Make sure you playing Palm Desert Resort County Club. Don't go to Palm Desert Country Club or you will be at the wrong place.
