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.

Most bang for the buck!

I play this course every time I stay in the LaQuinta/Palm Desert area! What a bargain - 18 picturesque holes, well maintained and challenging that you can walk in under 2 hours! hard to beat! And if you want to improve your short game and mid-irons THIS is the course you should play daily!
