Great bang for your buck in Palm Springs

This was a great golf course, the views were gorgeous the course conditions were amazing and the staff was nice. The only downside was that we booked during a tournament and on the back nine we had a lot of people in front of us and it was going slow. overall great.

Practice shorter shots

This course is for a beginner golfer, or someone who wants to practice their wedges, or maybe a 9 or 8 iron. There was nothing over 140 yards, and most holes were between 80 and 120 yards.The staff and players were all very friendly, but this is for short wedge practice. The bunkers were quite deep and in fair condition. The greens were quick, but bumpy and sparse in places. The pace of play was good and everyone was friendly and cordial. Tees were beat up with divots , and hairy. Didn’t really matter though, cause you didn’t need a tee for the shorter clubs to hit . Fun course to walk, as there are no power carts allowed. Overall fun time , but not a course for a serious player.

Window of opportunity

Fit this course in when faced with 2 days of sitting idle due to rain. Very well maintained. Great par 54 course. Easily fit in a round without rain drops in about 2 hours.

Course seemed to be quite backed up for first nine holes. Had to sit and wait at each tee. Have played when it was not so backed up but certainly was this round.

Fun and Challenging Par 3 18-Holer

Fun and challenging par 18-holer. For out-of-towners, the entire Palm Springs area has little to no courses that allow you to walk and also rent out pull-carts. This course being a par 3 layout, provided pull cart rentals and walking only, a nice change of pace for us walkers. We enjoyed the layout with plenty of bunkering and water coming into play. The homes are set back far enough to not impose on your game. Played in a little under 3 hours and just waited on a few holes. Greens were true and few ball marks to fix was nice surprise for a par3. Greens were not too tricky / pretty easy to read. Some were postage stamp size while others supersized. I will play here again if I ever return to Palm Springs (I doubt it due to the lack of walking accommodations).

Great "Practice" Course

If you're looking to tune up your iron play this is a great alternative to the driving range. All holes are par 3 of varyng distances, so you get an opportunity to use several different irons, from wedges to stronger irons. Also a good place to hone your putting. The course is in good shape, and although it's quite busy, the pace of play is average. Price is good, and it's good value for the money. We will be returning!

Pretty Course

Enjoyed this short course. Play was slow though. We thought the cost was high for this par 3 course compared to other local courses. We had perfect weather.
