Fun beautiful par 3 course

Ive played this course every year I come to the desert. It's a great way to get warmed up for the season and to pracitce your short game. Only complaint is the price continues to climb aggressively. I don't think it's worth $40.

They have raised prices there out of line compared to other courses. (almost double in 4 years?) Getting it on GolfNow was great but I won't pay published rate.

beautiful course with poor green and bunker

I booked the course assuming it was regular course. Unfortunately it’s a par 3 executive course. The course lay outs are beautiful, unfortunately the tee ground maintained very poorly, the green was very rough, the bunkers were mostly unplayable.

Short and sweet

We had a great round at Palm Royale. The course offers a great opportunity to practice irons and short game. The course has stunning views from almost every vantage point. We will play the course again if time permits during our time in Palm Springs

Great short game track

Lives up to its claim of best short course in the valley. Greens are in good shape and roll true. A few tee boxes are a bit tattered, but overall course conditions are good. Players of all levels will enjoy.

Great Condition Overall

Beautiful layout, challenging Par3 course!

Tee boxes and greens could be maintained better..

Although the greens are consistent so it was easy to predict the speed and breaks..

We will be back for the quick round and practice the accuracy.

Great par 3 course for $10!

Can’t beat an 18hole Par3 course for $10. Greens aren’t in the best shape, but still worth it.
