Walked

FUN COURSE. great value but bring all you need.

NO attendant, no refreshments. Wish we would have known ahead of time. Courese if alwasy fun. Greens super bumpy but we were fine, not playing in a champoinship or anythign. Rates were great for summer.

Some people are simply clueless. We let a twosome play thru our foursome on the back and they took 5+ minutes to finally tee off, practice swings galore and even hit a 2nd ball while we standing there waiting. then walkted their casuA, STROLL to and from each shot. They finally left when we headed to 13. ThANK!

Hidden gem

I normally don't play par 3 courses but this one surprised me. It can play very difficult with small undulating greens and lots of sand and some water.. Visually it's a beautiful course but be ready to walk as they have no carts except pull carts. The clubhouse man was only around between 7-9am but they work the honor system to pay when he is absent.

Great par 3 course

Booked a 7am tee time. Showed up 10 minutes early, honor system start. Very nice par 3 course, excellent condition and challenging enough to want to repeat. Private feel great deal. I will be playing here everytime I visit La Quinta.

Quick and delightful!

Didn't have a lot of time to golf on this quick trip. Family was with me and I needed something that wouldn't take up half my day. Got the 7 am tee time. Was home before the kids were up and ready to go in the pool. Lots of water to navigate. Course was in good condition but recently aerated, but putts still rolled great. Will definitely be back!

Best par-3 course around

What a cool place. The course is on an honor system for payments. There are no staff around except for course maintenance workers. The course upkeep is top notch. I was very impressed.

Early morning round

Great par 3 course. Perfect conditions. Nice layout. Not too crowded so pace was great. Had a rude frisbee player cut right in front of me which was disappointing.

Not a “Hot Deal”

The prepaid Hot deal price was significantly more than what they were charging walk ins.

Wonderful place

We played one afternoon when it was extremely hot, but we really enjoyed playing this well-maintained and friendly course. There weren’t many people that day since it was the middle of summer.

Golf Now Issue

The course is great and the staff wonderful. Unfortunately, we paid almost twice what we would have paid if we had booked directly. I learned my lesson. Probably done with Golf Now.

Experience

Gold course is in very good condition. Yes, it's a 3 par, so what. Every golfer, if they're being honest, needs to work on their short game. This is a great place to do it. There's no place to eat afterwards, but don't let that discourage you. It's a great little 3 par. If you're from out of town, no worries, there's a ton of places to grab some food all within a couple miles.

Perfect executive course

Easily one of the best par 3 courses here in the co-Val

Course is in great condition

Greens are excellent

Course stays in shape even after the season

Staff is super friendly

Pace of play is also good! 2-2 1/2 to complete

154 is the longest tee box no need to bring a lot of clubs with you .
