Perfect day on the links!
I played it with my 2 brothers while we are in town celebrating my birthday. Course was in great shape, greens were fast and rolled true. It was a pleasure to play, we'll definitely play it again when we're back in town!

Fun course
Its a fun and moderately challenging course. Staff is great. They're well organized and get the groups out on time. The course is in nice shape. The greens are pretty fast and sometimes the pins are in pretty difficult positions. Overall a great value.

A nice day at the golf course
We played on Super Bowl Sunday hoping it would be quiet, and allowed us to have a peaceful day on the golf course. The pace was good with no holdups and nobody really in front of us (or behind us). The course is relatively short but you can play the black tees to lengthen it....I played the blues and my son played the black. the fairways are in average condition as are the greens, but the greens are challenging with breaks and hard to read alignments.....but overall it was a most enjoyable day.

Better values elsewhere
Staff was great but the course is crammed into a housing development and there is a lot of driving on the streets between holes. Paid $120 to play this course and paid the same to play Terra Lago, an enormously better course, the next day on a Saturday.

Fun Afternoon in February
We had a great round; beautiful fairways, greens that roll nicely, very playable course, even for us midwesterners who hadn’t played for a few months. I’d certainly recommend it! As is true throughout the Coachella Valley, views are beautiful, flowers abundant (in February) and temps perfect.
