We had a great time playing golf there. We got lost finding hole 1. Signs to it could be better or give us a course map. Food, drinks and service at the clubhouse were terrific!

Good value but traps lacking maintenance
Great pace of play during twilight. Greens were good with just a few sparse spots. Traps lacked sand with grass growing in edges. Overall a good twilight value.

Great Course In Palm Desert
This course allows you to take out driver on most holes, has challenging par 3’s and bunkers protect most greens. The setting and golf course are beautiful.

Nice course
I am a high handicapper. This course is fairly forgiving, so a lot of fun for me. It does wind its way through a residential development and involves many street crossings. I am not sure if walking is allowed, but would guess it could be a long walk as tees are sometimes a good block or more from the previous greens.

Fun traxk
Only reason for lower rating was the bunkers were horrible. Sand like concrete and grass growing around the edges.
Fairways were generous and the ball rolled out. Greens were very good, fast and rolled true. Pace of play was slow as we stuck behind some PGA pros, at least they thought they were. Finally got by them at the turn and ended up okaying in under 4 hours, we were a twosome.
