I like this course!

Course is great shape. For a par three - it presents plenty of challenges! Pace of play, great. Greens also in great shape and they are challenging enough! Fairways and sand traps also in great shape.

Only criticism is that there is no water on the course. Wish there were a few set ups where water was available. Just some small stations where water jugs are available. It's hot in Palm Springs and one would think that the course's management would offer this important consideration.

Top class short course.

From an authentic Scottish welcome in the clubhouse to a challenging round that took under 2.5 hours, I just love this place. Friendly, fast and fun.

Fun Par-3

I golfed with my wife and daughters who don’t golf often. It was perfect for them as the shorter distances made it an easier experience. Course was in good shape, greens were pretty fast. A lot of water hazards so I’d advise bringing extra balls. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

FUN COURSE. great value but bring all you need.

NO attendant, no refreshments. Wish we would have known ahead of time. Courese if alwasy fun. Greens super bumpy but we were fine, not playing in a champoinship or anythign. Rates were great for summer.

Some people are simply clueless. We let a twosome play thru our foursome on the back and they took 5+ minutes to finally tee off, practice swings galore and even hit a 2nd ball while we standing there waiting. then walkted their casuA, STROLL to and from each shot. They finally left when we headed to 13. ThANK!

Hidden gem

I normally don't play par 3 courses but this one surprised me. It can play very difficult with small undulating greens and lots of sand and some water.. Visually it's a beautiful course but be ready to walk as they have no carts except pull carts. The clubhouse man was only around between 7-9am but they work the honor system to pay when he is absent.

Great par 3 course

Booked a 7am tee time. Showed up 10 minutes early, honor system start. Very nice par 3 course, excellent condition and challenging enough to want to repeat. Private feel great deal. I will be playing here everytime I visit La Quinta.

Quick and delightful!

Didn't have a lot of time to golf on this quick trip. Family was with me and I needed something that wouldn't take up half my day. Got the 7 am tee time. Was home before the kids were up and ready to go in the pool. Lots of water to navigate. Course was in good condition but recently aerated, but putts still rolled great. Will definitely be back!

Best par-3 course around

What a cool place. The course is on an honor system for payments. There are no staff around except for course maintenance workers. The course upkeep is top notch. I was very impressed.

Early morning round

Great par 3 course. Perfect conditions. Nice layout. Not too crowded so pace was great. Had a rude frisbee player cut right in front of me which was disappointing.
