Fun short course. Great for your short game.

We enjoy this course. Great for short game and get good exercise walking the 18 holes. Can play a little slow sometimes.

Wet Day

It's a walking only Par 3, and a little hilly and tight.

Watch the pull carts as they have no brakes.

On Hole 10 my cart rolled right into the water hazard and I had to wade in and retrieve my bag and the cart.

Luckily I didn't lose anything, but had to stop play and let everything dry out...:(

Fun Course

This is a par-three course with holes typically 100-120 yards, and two about 150 yards. But having said that, it is fun to play. Lots of water, sand traps and rolling tricky greens.

Best value in the Desert

A fun and fast course for the young and the old. Even though I play the big and expensive courses at the desert, this course is a fast warm up that is challenging, fun, and cheep. Book on Golf now and save a bundle!

Cute little par 3

All the holes on this par 3 course are short. The longest hole was only playing 135 yards. Although they didn't have the markers set back on the blues it was still fun to play each hole from the Reds averaging about 90 yards. Every hole has palm trees and the backdrop and water to add to the beauty. A great course to play if you just want to work on your approach shots and putting.

Challenging Executive Course!!

A nice 18 hole walking course. It can be a test at times as there is water on half of the holes. A good chance to test your short game!! We got in on a "Hot Deal" offer which made a good day even better!!

Always a pleasure

Such a fantastic little par 3, great layout and a great little warm up round before you go play. Its good for all skill levels, parents (20 hdcp), grandparents (10 hdcp), myself and friends (0-5hdcp). Its a must play, and especially for the price. Greens always roll true, conditions are always great every time I come.

outstanding par 3

Most par 3s are goat runs and uninteresting. This one is not. It's in excellent condition- well maintained. The staff was very friendly. This was the perfect course for my wife as she's not a long hitter and it allowed me a chance to work on my short game.

A great time

Initially I didn't realize it was a par 3 course, but it proved to be a welcome challenge. Beautifully kept, I've already begun recommending this course to friends heading to the Palm Springs area. I wish we had a nice little 18 hole course like this near our home.

Challenging Executive course!

This is a par 3 course, walking only, set among the condos at the Palm Royal Country Club. Mens tees ranged from 75 yds to 115 yds to the pin this day. Greens are challenging, and pin placement today was sneaky tough - so some real fun! Water and sand traps makes accuracy important. We were lucky that our foursome played right through without any waiting, so finished in 2.5 hours, which is pretty fast. Lots of water coolers on the course, which was really appreciated! Cheers!

My bad. Distance from men's tees was 75 to 150...not 115 yards. Sorry.

This is a nice short course with length right around 2000 yards. Because of the length, it is in essence a long series of par 3's which by definition stretches pace of play to some extent. The course is in immaculate condition, and there is plenty of water to add to the challenge. A great course for beginners with enough challenges to interest more experienced
golfers. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful.

Love this short but challenging course

This course is excellent to test your iron play for a mid handicapper. It's not as easy as you might think from looking at the score card. The greens are quite a challenge. We loved being able to walk the course. And it's a great value.

Nice course in good condition. A little too short for me as most holes required a 9 iron.
