Beautiful course

Great course but play was very slow due to cart path only. Also, requested service from cart service but no one showed. Players in front of us were very inefficient on the cart path only play. Really... you only take one club with you across the course then figure it is the wrong club?

Dependably enjoyable

As usual, course was in terrific shape, particularly the greens. Not a tough layout, but very pretty, with enough challenge to keep a once-a-week golfer such as myself interested. Too bad this course become unaffordable during "the season"- enjoy it now, while prices are very reasonable! Excellent practice area.

Great Course

Played the Santa Rosa course yesterday.

This course is always in great condition.

Staff is very friendly.

Price was just over $6.00, I used my golf now rewards

But, normally it would be About $25 for this time of year.

Temp. was 105, but, had a nice breeze blowing all day so it didn't really seem that hot.

Great course for beginners, and mid handicappers.

Not for the single digit player

Course was in good condition, but is clearly designed as a resort course with crazy wide fairways and overall fairly easy holes. Not the course for a single digit player that wants to pay a round in under 4 hours. There are better alternatives in Palm Springs for sure.

Beautiful courses in Sun City Palm Desert

Course seems very easy when you look at the fairways, however I found the greens hard to read, and walked away with a higher score than I expected. Water doesn't seem to come i to play. Look forward to play it better next time.

Avoid the "shpotguns"

When we booked on Golfnow, we had no indication that the time was a "shotgun". We were not happy but later found out this course does shotguns on Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and sometimes other days.

We saw a course Marshall once at the start when he ordered us back to the clubhouse after we went to the 18th tee box which was our first hole.

That was the last time we saw a marshall!

We left the course after 13 holes. The pace was unbelievably slow. On the way back, several fairways had no golfers and one hole had no golfers on the fairway or green! When we arrived at the clubhouse, we wanted to voice our concern and it was closed. The time was 4.45. We teed off at 1.00.

Will I go back?

Not likely.
