Mountain Vista Golf Club - San Gorgonio Course

This course does not do well in early Fall.

The greens are brown, sparse and without grass in key areas.

The Santa Rosa course was closed for overseeding and all the play was on the San Gorgonio course, which was swamped with elderly hackers.

It was so slow we never finished. As we drove back to the clubhouse we could see 4 foursomes on every hole.

The marshall was aware that the group in front was two holes behind but was unable to move them faster.

The greeting here was nonexistent. You simply checked in at the pro shop and waited to be called.

No cart service here.

The course is wide open and easy. There are plenty of palm trees and local plantings throughout.

Everything here is dry and brown. They do not water much.

I guess that during the Spring this course would be much more lush. Note to travel planner: Palm Springs in the Spring.

Love the Experience!

Have played the course several times and will continue

to play it!

Nice course, unfortunately the weather was against us.

Lots of rain, we quit after 9 holes :-(

Great price- nice stall- fast pace of play

The pro shop took 17 minutes to check me in even tho I was the only one there. Their computer does not interface with either GolfNow directly nor with their sister pro shop 400 yards away. The pro shop did not even have the phone number of GolfNow to straighten it out. I finally got checked in by some miracle. GolfNow and this course's management should fix this problem.

No practice range and there is a huge disparity of yardage comparing the front nine (2700 yards) and the back at (3517). Now why wouldn't the management there increase the front nine yardage and decrease the back nine yardage? I suppose that would require too much imagination on their behalf.

Greens were recently airiated and sanded thus very slow. Good golf carts but no GPS.Lies near greens were much too tight bordering on the unfair. At lease half of the lies on the fairways were brown-out lies.

On the positive side, there were buckets of water every 4 holes to wet one's towel and the sand bunkers were in very good shape.

I would rate the course with a B- grade for this time of year. (HOT!!)

First time playing here. Well-kept beautiful course in a private community. It plays very short. I played the blue tees but after the round I realized I should've played the blacks. I am not a long hitter but this course is incredibly short. They do place the hazards well however when I say short, I mean that I was hitting nine iron to Lobwedge into the greens on the par fours. I think it tops out around 5900 yards from the blue tees. I didn't really look at this on the scorecard when I got to the course. They paired me with a very friendly couple of older gentleman that played from the whites. Thankfully I did not play from there because I found out that the white tees are just about 5000 yards. That being said, and at a par 72, I shot a nice low round which made me feel great. As for the course… It was very well-kept as most are in the desert. Great conditions of all the boxes, fairways, rough, and greens. It goes through a housing community however the fairways are incredibly wide so you don't have much of a concern of spraying it into the houses. I can say it was very nice smashing your drives over the fairway bunkers and approaching from such short distance. I don't normally get on par fives in two but I did on two of the holes on the course. The ones I didn't I was chipping distance away. I don't want this to make it sound like it wasn't a great experience because the quality of the golf course was very high, just keep in mind that it is not a long track.

This is a pretty straight forward course. Traps and hazards are usually obvious. Fairways are generous and loosing a ball is pretty hard. The greens rolled true and there were a large variety of tee boxes - something for all skill levels. The course is beautiful and the setting is also beautiful. The only thing I would add are flower beds. The only bad experience was our greeting at the bag drop. We waited for some tie before we got a cart. The pro shop is small and has very few things, except necessities to buy so don't come early to shop.

There are two courses and this one is half a mile from the other where all the practice facilities and restaurant is. Course was initially to be a par three and they changed it to par 72. All the greens had just been sanded so two put max. Guess that is why all the residents were play the other course. Just seemed early to be doing the greens. No cart girl either.

Played this course with two members who were very helpful and friendly. Course conditions were excellent and the greens were quick. Only complaint is that we could not get a coffee before our tee off at 7:33. We were told that we had to go back to the club house at the Santa Rosa which was inconvenient. Had lunch afterwards. The meal and the service was good. We will return to this course and the restaurant in the future.

Friendly staff, fantastic condition good value a must play in the Palm Springs area ! Will be back.

never was told it was a shot-gun start with two groups of four per hole. short course hard greens think it would be hard for seniors.

Excellent greens, generous and very well conditioned fairways.

Average vistas for the area courses.

Great track. Wide fairways eliminate the intimidation of golfing on a course with houses lining the fairways, Wide enough that very few homes are at risk. Great layout with utilizing water features on numerous holes. highly recommend and I will definitely golf again. Only down side was no clubhouse on this course for an after round beverage/meal.

Great course, great people!!

Great course in wonderful condition. Beautiful views throughout. Perfect weather. Fast greens. Tasty lunch on the turn. Will be back next year!!

Very nice and good course conditions. Very forgiving course layout.

Front Nine a piece of cake but the back nine tough.
Will play again

The course was in very good condition. Paid $70 per person for a round. Staff were slow and rude but didn't affect the play.

Good course and fun. Conditions above average.
Would go back again

San Giordino course was in perfect shape despite rain two days earlier. No practice range on this course. Greens were very quick and deceptively tricky. Fairways immaculate; rough was green and forgiving. Layout interesting. 4 par threes on front nine.
