First out and around in under an hour!

Always the best value in Palm desert area! Got out early by myself and completed in less than an hour. Exercise, sunshine, fresh air and good conditions!

Enjoy.

Beautiful and green

The course was in great shape and all the garden and ponds were nicely kept up. I loved that you walk the course as we are used to golfing that way in Canada. Great exercise with beautiful surroundings that’s the way to enjoy your golfing day.

Pace slow

Overall a nice little course. Pace was very slow. Lots of twosomes. Maybe pace would be better if groups of 4. A nice course to challenge your short game. Will be back.

Jewel of the desert

Great course for honing in short game.

Greens bumpy and slow—re seeding- as expected.

Greens will be good in 2-3 weeks!

Ahhh!!

My wife and I visited Palm Royale because she had not been playing and playing an Exec course would be a good transition. Well, this was fantastic for us both. This is a jewel with really nice guests who play PRGC on the regular 😊.. A little Bio-Freeze and we were both good for another day on the course.

A jewel in the desert.

This is a very pleasant par 3 course. It is beautiful with palm trees, water and flowers surrounding many of the holes. The tee boxes are level and the holes range from 80 to 150 yards. The greens are slow; this is not a championship course, but for an enjoyable inexpensive afternoon of golf it is hard to beat this course.

above average 3par with glaring problem-the greens

professionally designed- great layout and fun to play- can't recommend this course because of the condition of the greens- the worst you will find in the area and doesn't look like they will be better anytime soon

Beautiful Par 3 Course

The golf course is stunning. The fairways are in great condition. The greens are bumpy, but likely because it is early in the winter season.

This golf course is great value and I recommend to anyone looking for a par 3 golf course.
