Windy Day On The Course

This course is a very nice par 3. However on the day we played it was very windy (50 mph). Just bad luck four us, but I would play this course again.

Inexpensive, Executive course in La Quinta

With Greens fees at $100 plus in La Quinta, I hesitated to spend that much on my game that clearly isn’t worth it. But for $29, I’m happy to hack around on 18 holes of perfectly manicured fairways and greens. I shot 14 over par (53) and made par 0n 7 holes. Had a wonderful time. Was never rushed. I’m coming back next year for sure.

Rest easy Fred your record still stands.

Fred Couples shot 43 here, I did not. But I was-1 on the back nine. Nice course with nice placement of water and bunkers. Probably not ideal for beginners as there's a far amount of water. We'll be back.

A Desert Gem!

I booked an early morning tee time at the last minute. Having never played any desert courses, with stellar reviews I figured this short course was a good place to start. It did not disappoint! With such an early tee time, I was one of the only golfers on the course for the first 30 minutes. The course was immaculate except for the tee boxes under repair which was not a problem. It was lush and beautiful! There is housing surrounding the course and lots of water. So be sure to know your yardages and use the right clubs. I gave up plenty of balls in the water, but did find one that said, “Play me again!” :D Golfers have such a great sense of humor. Enjoy your round if you go!
