The greens were reasonably good but the fairways were in poor shape.

Fair value

18 holes on this course should cost no more than 60.00. We paid 120.00. That said, it will be the most reasonable of the half dozen I will play while in Coachella this Spring. My how things have changed.

Play as First Course

A good course to start on, but needs a lot of work. Fairways literally have to be replaced. Easy enough. Things will only go up from here.

Honest Opinion

Don’t waste your money!!!
This course was like a cow pasture, terrible condition, fairways were in awful shape throughout.
Some greens were so/so, most not that good.
I wouldn’t play here again if they offered it for free.
Big disappointment is an understatement.

Highlight was when we pulled up in the parking lot, a young man brought us our cart, very friendly. We thought great start, but that is where it ended.
We paid $100.00 per for our round, wasn’t worth $10.00.

The registration guy was excellent to adjust schedule after I made reservations for wrong number of players. Otherwise course was a disaster.
