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.
