Escena Golf Club
About
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.

Nice course
Liked everything but the ranger
He told us we were playing too slow!
We all play country club golf, know the rules. Very windy we fell 1/2 hole behind and the people behind us never waited. The ranger threatened to have us skip a hole he then proceeded to waste our time on 2 other occasions therefore contributed too slowing us down
Won’t play here again
Good course but better values can be had
Wanted to play this course for a while so we paid the higher green fees. Not a bad course and we got lucky as this area can be windy. Moderate pace for the desert. I think with the competitive pricing for golfing in the desert this course might want to consider offering some better deals.
Also without asking us the pro shop bumped our tee time back 2 slots to set us off with another couple.
Guys, just because I wear a skirt doesn’t mean I can’t keep pace or feel uncomfortable golfing alongside men.
Please ask next time before you change my time
Nice round!
Enjoyed the round at Escena. Some very scenic holes. Playable course.
Would return!
Awesome
The course is in amazing shape. Accommodates all levels of golfers. Staff excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great track
Very much enjoyed returning to Escena. It's a top-notch place, from start to finish. Course was in perfect condition, layout was challenging-- you must make your shots to play well here. Greens were fair, not extremely fast but rolled well. I think they could add GPS on the cart for the price paid, but that's just a suggestion. Warning: there are some holes on the back-9 that run right along the airport and you will hear planes taking off. My only complaint was that the restaurant was all booked up after my round and could not have a post-round lunch there. Oh well. The golf was great.
Always a great Escena Experience
Really good experience including a great breakfast and a wonderful round with a nice pair of Canadian ladies. Course conditions were very good. Starters instructions were strange with 90 degree rule from the rough (never heard of in the valley this time of year) and rakes left in the traps which nobody did. Small change for areal good experience.
Scenic Course with a good pace
Loved the course. Layout was nice and the greens ran pure. Only comment is some of the fairways and rough were a touch patchy.
Terrible staff. - nice layout
The marshalls ruined the round. We played quickly and we’re having fun but they wouldn’t leave you alone. Pushing you all the way, no time for even a bathroom break! Really disappointed because the course itself it an interesting layout and in great shape.
Great desert value
Course is in great shape as usual. Great Nicholas track made tricky by some difficult par 5s. The top 4 handicap holes are par 5s. This is one of the best values of the desert with a great course, excellent amenities, and friendly staff. If there was one thing I could criticize is the lack of a driving range. The only range is hitting into a net. There's plenty of short game practice available but you can't hit full shots into a range. If I could be so bold I'd like to suggest that they get a few of those Trackman devices.
Love Escena
One of my favorite golf courses. From when i first step on the property everyone goes that extra mile to make sure my Experience for the day is enjoyable. The guys at the pro shop. (Thomas and Gill) are fantastic. Dave our starter was very friendly and professional . The course layout is one I love to play over and over. The views are breathtaking.. Replay rates are very reasonable . The restaurant with its outdoor seating very relaxing. Good menu. With even better service. All in all I Love coming back to Escena and would definitely recommend when visiting the Palm Springs area.
Beautifully landscaped
Beautiful course with lots of bunkers which makes the course more of a challenge.
Sorry but I'm happy to hear a marshall moving folks along. Golfers have become much to used to 4 plus hour rounds and during the week we should all be playing in less than four hours. Good job marshalls.....
