Fun course challenging but not too challenge

The course is fun. The front nine is not as challenging as the back nine. Unfortunately you have to cross a lot of roads. You do not have the right of way, so be careful and have fun

Great Layout

Great playable course with mostly wide fairways. Water and fairway bunkers are in play on several holes, but are not overly challenging. Played this course several times over the past month, and enjoyed it each time.

little disappointing

flew in from Canada to play. was expecting more from Palm Desert. missing a lot of little things like beverage cart (no cat at all)

no on course washrooms, pro shop fellow could have been quite a bit friendlier, a little short and direct attitude. price is quite high for what you get. for the cost, i would not recommend

Good day of golf

We played course last year and it was pretty rough shape. Not so this year . Tees, greens and fairways all nice and green. Even traps have been improved. No driving range, but nice putting green and practice chipping green. Staff was pleasant. No Marshall, but this day we didn’t need it. He lunch on site and it was very nice. This one is a keeper for us. It is one of the older courses in the area, but the track is fun to play

Nice course!

Often good landing areas off of the tees but with some bunkers strategically placed on fairways and around greens to create some good challenges. Enjoyed it a lot and would manage it differently for sure next time around.

Rolling Greens Great Fairways

Quiet sleepy Golf community

Wide wide Fairways

Rolling Greens many elevated

Alot of sand traps for difficulty

Forgiving White and Red tees

Deceiving little course

Nice course

Nice shape, lots of room on fairways when hitting from tee, with just enough challenging water and trap placements. Greens are nice too with subtle breaks.

slow play

this course is fairly easy and should not take more than 4 hours on a cart. We only played 17 holes as play was slow and didn't have enough daylight to finish. No Marshall was seen all round.

Excellent Greens, fairways not so much

Played as a twosome and pace was excellent at 3 hours. Seemed overpriced for overall conditions and some really ratty housing around the course. No amenities to speak of and no reason to stay afterwards. Limited staff contact was friendly enough.
