great par 3

I play this course every year and its a very picturesque setting for a par 3 course with holes ranging from 80 yard to about 140 from the women's tees. Fairly compact distances from hole to hole. I don't mind waiting a bit because I just take a few extra shots or putts but it was backed up a little. The price has gone up A LOT over the last few years but the GolfNow price was about right.

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
