Fun course
Played in a lite rain which made the round fun and unusual. The course handled the rain well with only a few puddles. Would definitely play this course again only on a dry day next time.
Great Value
For the time of year this course was equal to most other desert courses.
Fairways were pretty dried out in some spots but the greens and tee boxes were in very good shape.
The price I got was highly discounted (expect it to be hot hot hot for twilight) but I finished my round in two and a half hours.so the heat didn't bother me that much. Drink lots of water.
Great greens!
The greens were fast , some dead grass in fairways, not a big deal though.
Greens Hold
I read a recent review that stated the greens don't hold shots, Then I saw they were a 18 hdcp so that explained it. These greens accepted well stuck shots fine I repaired a half a dozen or more ball marks . This place is a must play for the money the greens are some of the best for summertime I'm sure they are gonna close soon for overseeding so hurry.
A good day
I've played this course before, but not in several months. The course is challenging but fair. The greens were very fast and not holding; it took a few holes to figure out how to keep the ball on the green! My playing partners experienced the same challenge. In addition, subtle breaks were present on several holes and we all suffered multiple lip-outs! Regardless, it was a good game, a fun day and I would play it again.
Still a Good Time
I have always like this course. There were about 3 holes that had serious fairway conditions. Lost of large areas on the fairway that were dirt with no grass. Other than that, it is fun there.
I know they will fix the grass problems. Summers are hot here.
Wait until overseeing to play
My wife and I really like this course. However, we played yesterday and the fairways were in abysmally bad shape. Frequently we found ourselves hitting shots from the middle of the fairway off of bare dirt. The greens were in excellent shape - faster than the 9 advertised in my opinion.
The staff here is great. Always friendly and helpful.
It was also a little annoying that we had a parade of antsy singles behind us insisting on playing through, but this isn't the golf course's fault.
I recommend trying tthis course, but wait until overseeding is complete in the fall.
Good course you should try
This course probably has the best par 3's, from a challenge and variety standpoint, of any public access course in the valley (my fav's anyway)!
If you haven't played Shadow Hills South before you should give it a shot. The par 3 North course, soon to include a few par 4's from what I hear, is excellent with beautiful desert landscaping and water features!
I have played the South course numerous times and have always enjoyed it. The greens have come back well from the aerification of last month, tees were in great shape but fairways were a little spotty. This is a testament as to what happens when a winter overseeded course has high cart traffic on clay soil. The transition in the summer back to its bermuda grass base is challenging. The fairway of #1 looks the worst but it does get better. I just played preferred lies if my ball ended up on a bare spot in a fairway.That being what it is, the course is still a good track.
Finally, Byron in the golf shop was a wonderful ambassador and host - down-to-earth, gracious and accommodating, and explained directions and food & bev options. Thank you Byron!
Excellent Service
Steve & Phil were great but there had been a shotgun start earlier and it really backed up. I quit the front nine after 5 holes hoping to go to the back nine & start on 10. Checked at the club house. Spoke with Brian & Joseph. They told me the back nine was going to be backed up too. Suggested I just go out & play the first five over & then continue with my round. Now that's service above & beyond. They turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a very pleasant one.
Good experience
A couple of fairways burned out but it's summer so to be expected. Greens, traps & most fairways are good shape.
Staff are great. Both Steve & Phil.very helpful.
Will play this course again.
GREEENS & PUTTING SURFACES ARE GREAT
let's start w/ the bad:
1) some of the fairways & tee boxes are in bad
shape. the fairways are brown and dirt all over.
now the good:
1) staffs are very professional
2) all putting surfaces are in INCREDIBLE shape
well shaved , very clean & very green
3) driving range is awesome
4) and the ICED TOWEL they provide smells good
it's in the blue bucket located between the pro
shop & ice machines. do not forget to take a
couple 'coz it's 100 degrees.
It's a HOT SUMMER... Sooo!
As usual (played here many times over the years) Shadow Hills South course wss "mostly good"...
Staff / Pro shop was awesome, carts were fine, with Ice in the on-cart cooler! Range was in good shape and balls out for warm-up! Tees were good, MOST FAIRWAYS WERE BURNED OUT BROWN & DEAD IN MANY SPOTS...! Bunkers and water hazards were very good (only 1 lake partially drained). GREENS WERE AWESOME AS USUAL! Some of the best in the valley!
FYI - Cold water station at east side of snack shop bldg.! Snack shop was closed at 9:am (NEVER SAW A CART GIRL on a Sunday? On course restrooms were locked (accessible with resident key...?) And with that said I'd go back again soon, always a great fun track!
And I Live Here!
The greens were in good shape for being recently punched, but the fairways were very bad.
Caught them on a bad day
When we booked our tee time we didn't know it was maintenance week. Two fairways are under restoration and the greens punched. The course had several burned out areas.
Beautiful course but wished we had picked a different time.
Good Conditions cor Summer Seasom
Had a great round of golf. Fairways were in goof condtion. Bunkers were soft. Greens could use some work. Good value.
Quality in the Desert
If you are staying in the Indio area there is no need to travel to Palm Springs to get a great course. Conditions are perfect, the layout is terrific and it will be a challenge on any of the tees you choose to play. We played during off season so for the most part had the course to ourselves and finished easily under four hours. Loads of sand and plenty of water so shot selection and proper irons is a must! Would go back here in a heartbeat.
Rude Staff
The proshop staff is extremely rude. I felt they were extra rude to me possibly because I am only 22. Their attitudes would not fly for long at any country club. I wouldn't have gone out of my way to write this review if I did not feel truly offended. The course is nice but it is very expensive. I know it is in the desert but the greens were in fairly poor shape, cracking in some places.
Wonderful experience as first time players
Though we live in the Coachella valley, we hadn't gotten around to playing here until yesterday. I would have to say that this course has the most friendly and welcoming staff of any course we have played here. We played on a warm afternoon and virtually had the course to ourselves. The course itself is reasonably challenging. Landing areas are wide, but greens are usually protected by often challenging, deep bunkers or water. The greens themselves were in very good shape with a lot of contours that seldom allowed easy putts. We thoroughly enjoyed this course and will definitely be back.
Worth the money
Great course, great deal on golfnow. Only beef was that is was cart path only which really slowed the pace of play, barely finished the round. Customers should be alerted to this when booking.
Staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating
Will return when greens are in a little better shape..
Some challenging Pa r 3's and Par 4 s
Everyone in our party enjoyed the course and wii be back.
