the greens were very fast

This is a good course in the palm desert area. greens were very fast and true-took some getting used to. the layout was challenging and fun. loved the contrast between the green fairways and surrounding rough. helped with aiming. pace of play was good. course had its act together and no problems checking in with my teeoff.com pre paid tee time-in fact had me checked in at starter shack. didn't even need to go to pro shop.

Nice Course, Painfully Slow

Course is in really good condition and is a nice comfortable layout, especially for ladies who are shorter hitters. But they need to do something about pace of play. It was a Monday afternoon and we waited on every tee box from the third hole. At times we finished a hole with the group ahead of us waiting on the next tee while the group in front of them was still teeing off.

Wide course

I happened to play on an extremely hot day in March for Palm Springs, but it was sunny and clear. The course has plush fairways and even tee boxes. Some of the greens were a little thin, but they were generally quick. There are challenges over water at #6, #9 and #18, which is a whole unique challenge in itself. The course is good for mid to high handicappers as the fairways are forgiving with a low rough, but there are some sandy locations that are considered OB, and not really a hazard. Overall, the course is beautiful, a testament to playing in Palm Springs as tourist. It's a great course to play.

Last round this year

After five months in Palm Springs we needed one more round of 18 before going home. We never golfed here before and gave it a go.

The staff were amazing and got us on more than 30 minutes early. The course conditions were excellent and the greens were great although fast (missed a few of the easy putts…lol). The only issue was pace of play. We were backed up with two groups per hole and unfortunately this put a bit of a damper on an otherwise excellent experience.

Would definitely recommend this course and we will be back on our next trip in October.

Surprised value

With the price for our afternoon round I had low expectations, but this was one of my favorite courses in the Palm Springs area. Beautiful fairways and greens, rough was well manicured, not a brown spot anywhere to be seen.
