Palm reading

Course was ok but was expecting more, had a few scenic holes, fairways were thin in spots but greens were excellent which is important.

5 star greens

It was our first time playing here. The course was a little rough, not fabulous but not terrible either. The tee boxes were in good shape. The greens were fabulous. Fast but not linoleum fast. The putt would roll true and stay on line. The holes were perfectly cut. The greens were the best part of Palm Desert Countey Club. For the money it was a great value. We will.play here again.

Fun place to play

Our group really enjoyed this course. The fairways and greens were in great condition. The only imperfection in a golf course is the bunkers are hard packed. The benefit he can easily get a rollout. The bad part is it’s not even worth taking a swing in those bunkers as it’s not worth the risk of damaging your clubs or twisting your wrist. Highly suggest everyone gets a free drop at the point of entry. . Besides that the place played like any other Premium Palm Desert course

Nice course

We had a really good round here. The pace was a bit slow due to a group ahead of us, but in spite of that it was a good day

Polty

I thought the course was worth the money in an area that they can become very expensive. It’s no country club but the cost was worth it.

Discouraged

I thought the design was a little odd. It seems every par 4 has fairway bunkers on both sides leaving only a 20 yard wide landing area. Laying up short left 180+ yards in. No way to get over them for an average 250 yard driver of the ball. Pretty difficult design for a public course. The bunkers were hard. It made green side bunker shots harder than they should be.

Very good value, local course.

We consider this our home course since we are only a few miles away. We are not members. This course plays easy and is very good value considering the extraordinary prices these day. The staff are very good and courteous. Course conditions are very consistent and good.

Nice track in good shape.

Greens were in great shape. Probably will get a bit faster as the season progresses. Tee boxes were in top condition. They said, in the clubhouse, that the fairways were in a bit of rough shape but I found them to be in good condition. Only negative, which has been the same at all three courses I’ve played this week, is that the bunkers are in terrible shape. Cimarron, we wouldn’t even play out of them. I played out a couple here but also took a couple drops. Not sure what’s going on with the bunkers at all these courses. Definitely going back. Melissa, the cart girl, made us delicious Caesars before our round at a good price.

The course was in the best shape I've ever seen it. The only negative was they were running the sprinklers around several of the greens in the early afternoon. Had to dodge the on short chips
