Desert gem

This was my first but will not be my last visit to this course. It was in excellent shape and is in a very scenic setting. For the money it is also one of the most affordable courses in the valley. The fact it is a par 3 does not detract from the challenge it offers. I found it very enjoyable to play and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Best filler round ever

In between full on long rounds wanted a shorter alternative. This place exceeded my expectations. It is very picturesque and well manicured. A full golf experience with challenging water traps and greens but done my round in just over two hours. Highly recommended

Great little course!

A great little par 3 course for short game tune ups. Didn’t need more than a 9 iron, wedges and a putter. Course was in great shape and the staff was very helpful and friendly, I may head back before the end of my trip.

Fun Course

Fun par3 course. Greens are tricky and in good shape. No place to really warm up, but a great deal for the price. Quick round that still challenges your club selection and putting skills.

Great par 3 course

My wife and I played this course on a windy Thursday evening at 4pm and we liked everything about the course, friendly and pleasant staff , course layout with beautiful surroundings and enough sand and water traps to make it difficult for an average player. Walking only is an added bonus to get some exercise on your vacation!

We enjoyed our round and we will definitely return with our family and friends.

Thanks

Outstanding Par 3

This course is one of the best maintained in the Coachella Valley. The greens are outstanding every time I play here. The value for the fee is also outstanding.

I plan to come back to this course again and I highly recommend it to others.
