Very well maintained par 3 course

I have played this little par 3 course the past three years when I have visited the Palm Springs area. It is easy to walk and is well maintained. It helps me to work on my short game. I enjoy it.

Nice short course

Friendly staff and great little course to work on your short game. Some challenging water shots, Tee boxes and greens were in good condition.

New management 😞

This is my go to course until yesterday. I’m a full time resident in the valley, and I was shocked to see the grounds covered in patchy dried greens, no maintenance on vegetation around the properties. I was totally shocked. It was until recently immaculate…not anymore. Such a disappointment. I told the new pro shop manager and he didn’t want to hear me out…he can’t see how awful the course is. If I owned property there I’d be in an uproar.

Cool walkable par 3

This is a fun little par 3 course, I usually play late afternoon so it’s not too packed. Good for some short game practice. My only complaints are that a lot of people don’t fill their divots or ball marks on the greens. Also it seems the residents there practice on a few of the holes in particular and they sort of tear up the tee boxes and greens. If you can stand the heat I would suggest going in the off season.

short and tight

Ok course, but really short and the holes are packed really tightly together - often times the tee box is right next to the prior hole's green. Many holes are sub-100 yards, which is fine if that's what you're looking for, but it got a little boring hitting the same club every time.

Very Nice

Loved the course. Beautiful!! Some tricky holes for a par 3. Wish the holes were numbered even though it was a par 3 course I wondered occasionally if I was on right hole. Would recommend.
