Good for Wedge Practice

If you don’t mind hitting your sand or gap wedge off every tee this is the course for you. No frills track in good condition. Can play 18 in just over 2 hours.

Early bird gets the worm!

Got up early, had a great relaxed round. Pace of play is great. Very well maintained, large, fun greens. No hitting from mats! Free pushcart. No attendant b/c Covid but the grounds staff is hard at work. Make sure you beat the heat, bring a few extra balls because the water hazards are prominent.

Always lifelike this little 3 par course. Fairways stay green even in the extreme heat. The greens need more water. But always fun and great short game practice!

Underrated Executive Course

One of my favorite Executive courses, play often. Beautiful layout, with nicely maintained water and sand traps (water by 1st hole currently drained for maintenance). Front 9 is challengingly short, while back 9 opens up. Challenging, yet accessible. Never had a challenge getting a tee time, staff incredibly helpful, and best beer deal in the dessert!

Fantastic

I have to say, so it's a par 3 course, it is tricky and fun to play. The greens are great, the fairways are fabulous. there's enough sand traps and water holes to make the course quite challenging. I would recommended totally. It is also beautiful

Excellent Iron Practice

Very short all par 3 with plenty of water and bunkers to give you a little challenge. Bunkers could use more sand and/or be raked by grounds crew in the mornings. Only problem was nearly getting hit 3 times today by errant shots from other holes. Twice, no warning was yelled and no acknowledgement of the near miss. Sigh...hoping it was just an off day for golf etiquette.

Nice and Easy

Fun course, played with a group of four and were done in 3 hrs. Might sound long but most groups playing are paired up into foursomes. The course is well maintained and the greens are also well maintained by the staff...by the players, not so much. A lot of ball marks not repaired. Overall I had fun and would recommend this course to anyone out there.

Palm Royale short game beauty.

Golfed here for the first time because a friend had back surgery a while back and wanted to try golf again. We knew it was going to be a short course and it was a great experience for this length of course. Friendly and helpful staff, great course conditions, and a reasonable pace of play for Friday afternoon. Finished 18 in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Minimal waits at about 4 holes. Great short game practice. Will be back.
