Escena Golf Club in Palm Springs is a return to what made desert golf great. This Nicklaus Design course with stunning views stretches to almost 7,200 yards to challenge the most skilled players. Yet, with generous fairways and four sets of tees, it remains playable for all others. Add the boldly contemporary clubhouse and the ultra-cool environs of the Escena Lounge & Grill, and you have all of the ingredients of a modern classic.

Well Maintained Open Course

Wide open fairways but long for the average golfer especially women. No practice range only a net. Unusual tract with five par 5s and five par 3s. Course was in good shape. Nice pro shop and restaurant.

Great golf - long from forward tees

The par 3’s were all about 160 yards from the forward tees. The course is long in general, but when the pars 3’s are that hard to reach, the round isn’t as much fun.

Great day on the Ensena golf course

Perfect conditions and no wind. Challenging layout with forgiving fairways. The greens were the challenge , especially the lenghtlee par three’s, but very acceptable. Would love to play again

Great course to play in Palm Springs

My wife and I really enjoyed Escena today. Fairways were in wonderful condition as well as the greens. Sand traps were not soft sand but were playable. I assume they get too much wind certain times of the year for white beach sand.
