Disappointing

Although the price of a round is very reasonable for the area the course conditions, particularly the fairways and rough were terrible. The only reason I gave this course 2 stars was because the greens were quite good and we were able to play our round in about 4 :15.

A nice enough day. Fairways are really in rough condition. Greens are in great shape. Very fast if you like fast greens. Value too high for the course conditions.

They put their money into the greens and tee boxes. Fairways are in rough shape. Sand traps are hard pan. Greens run fast and true. This course should have a better value price point but this is the age we live in.

First time at Palm Desert CC

This was my first time at this course so I don’t have a comparison except to other PSP courses I’ve played. the ProShop staff was friendly and shop looked well stocked. Chipping and putting area are very fine but they only have a two space - net to warm up full swings.

I’d suggest the course create “combo” ratings to make it more interesting for repeat users. The red was too short but the white a bit too long would have been nice to combine these. Starts out with two Par 5s.

The greens were in good shape
