Poor signage and lots of dogs

Course runs through old worn down neighborhood. Many barking dogs along the course close to golfers. Navigating your way between holes is at times difficult given lack of signage and priority given to local traffic.

Too much money

For what you get it was way too over priced. Fairways weren't taken care of that well. Greens were well maintained but everything was so dry and dead. Sand was clay ish or pebbles

Another enjoyable day

The golf course is in really nice condition. The fairways and the greens are in a really nice shape. The bunkers need to be dried out and re-sanded. Other than that it was a very nice day.

Course good - not great

Greens good shape but slooow. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers were good to ok - bunkers could use more sand. Non-playing areas around course not maintained so not the prettiest golf course. Probably good layout for the money if you get a Hot Deal.

Hidden Gem

Good course layout and conditions were good with pace of play ok and staff were friendly. The major issue is the price over previous years. They got rid of the monthly passes with made the price high for course. Bring back the month unlimited passes.

Great golf experience

I was 10 minutes late for my T time as I had misdirected myself to the course.

Notwithstanding on my arrival somewhat perplexed at being late I was welcomed immediately at the Starter. And was assured my lateness would not be a problem.

Indeed I hooked up with a married couple who were excellent companions for the round. Good golfers. Good etiquette and easy to get along with.

The course was in lovely condition. Greens well maintained and fast.

Fairways in great condition.

Pace of play excellent.

I have played this course previously and have enjoyed the course.

Its current condition has been the best I have seen it, but in fairness it has always been reasonably well maintained.

I wish to emphasize that it was a great golf experience starting with the welcome that put me at ease at being late

I am a Canadian and have a winter residence in the Palm Springs area.

I intend when I am able to spend more time in the US this coming year to make this Course effectively my "home" course given my lovely experience this year.

Above average

The best part of our round was the welcome we received from the support staff. Carts were delivered to the parking lot and the layout of the course was well explained to us. The course has wide friendly fairways and consistent greens. The only complaint was a lack of a beverage cart and the restaurant was not open at the turn.
