Really Good 3 par

Good value, course condition was very good except a couple of tee boxes need some TLC. Twosome in front of us was clueless so we barely made 18. Overall enjoyed the course and will play there again.

OK Short Course

The course only has par 3s. Many are the same length. The course was in very good condition, considering it is a public course, played by a wide range of players.

The pace of play is a bit longer than was expected for a short course.

Very fun little course and pleasant walk.

My wife and I have played here three years in a row as a warm up round and enjoyed it every time. Very short, but good, small greens. Pretty setting and well kept grounds. We’ll be back.

Outstanding Par 3

Great layout with water on 8 holes. Small greens with good break deliver a great short game challenge. The course is consistently well groomed, staff are friendly and the value is outstanding.

Great par 3 course. I’m not sure why it does not have a restaurant or bar! It needs one for the amount of play it gets. With that I would give it 5 stars. Fun course!

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.
