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.

Great day
The staff were very pleasant, he course was in great shape, and the pace of play was good, sub 4 hours. At the Golfbow rate would gladly play here again.
Thought the course designers constructed an interesting course, rolls, water and tiered greens.
Enjoyable Palm Springs Course with a bit of history
We are a golfing couple who have been going to Palm Springs area to play golf for a few years now but had never played this course before. We both enjoyed our round here and would go back. The course was in great condition and is great value for money for it's central Palm Springs location.
A relatively new but mature course.
Beautifully presented with generous fairways and tricky greens. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and all its features. Recommended 5 Stars.
Slow pace
A five hour round - very hot at 100F but but no excuse for slow play - all the water jugs were empty which given the temperature was not a acceptable - great Restraurant and very accommodating staff - go there for the food.
Excellent value for the price.
Arrived early, hit a couple of range balls and putts and was able to start 1/2 hour early and finished the round in 3 hours & 30 min. Course was well maintained with excellent greens and cheerful helpful staff.
This course can be a beast
The course was in great shape. The greens were moderately fast and true. It is a lot tougher than it looks. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Course
Very noisy being next to airport. Not near enough bathrooms on course. Very very slow and never saw a marshall
Escena golf
Front nine is pretty basic. While back nine has more wart and interesting holes
Excellent course, terrible wind.
The fairways, rough, and greens were in fantastic shape. We experienced terrible winds during our play which made play very difficult. Otherwise, we would love to play the course again under different weather conditions. We have friends that liked it so well, they played the course again the next day.
Nice course but challenging with wind
The course was in great shape and nice landscaping. The numerous bunkers made it challenging and the wind started blowing on the last few holes adding to the challenge.
The Pace of play was a little slow
airport golfing
Right next to airport but not distracting. Best value around. The wind was a factor in the morning but calmed down later. Would definately come back. Fairways were easy to fit and the greens were tricky to read, just like we golfers like it.
Beautiful course
Our ladies group really enjoyed our golf at Escena & we've already booked our next tee time at this course. The course provided plenty of water which helped us cope with the heat .We were given towels in the carts which we also used to help us cool down. The grounds, fairways, green, are all kept meticulously.
one of the best courses in the valley
Very well kept up greens and tee's and a very forgiving course .
Eescena golf
The course was excellent, a typical Jack Nicholas design. We plan to return. as on all Nicholas courses, you have multiple tees to choose to suit your game.
Cold and Windy
I wouldn't golf this course early in the morning. The day we golfed it was so cold and windy that we froze for the first 11 holes. We didn't get to appreciate the beauty of the course. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Escena Expeience
We had a player unable to play, he phoned explained his circumstance, and was thanked for cancelling and NOT charged a cancellation fee. Thank you to the pro shop staffer.
Bag drop staff were friendly and helpful.
Course was in excellent shape, would play there again in a heartbeat, Scenic course, well laid out, ample fairways, good hazards but not penal. Pace of paly was very good, no waiting.
Awesome clubhouse, very good food reasonably priced and excellent service.
great value!
Near the heart of Palm Springs, next to the airport. Wonderful course, plenty of tee options for beginner to expert. Totally worth it! $59 Cheapest in town for a quality course . Poor man's desert willow. ;)
Spectacular scenery
Love the views of mountains, palm trees, water features, lush fairways and all around perfect conditions. Started out with a great lunch on the patio and then enjoyed a very relaxed pace of golf. Even with waiting on every hole we still finished in a little over 4 hours. Course is quite challenging and is sure to give any level of golfer both frustration and satisfaction.
Too windy and no real driving range
The wind was ridiculous and they paired us up with a dude that shot a 170. That round should have been 3hrs. Not fun, course was good but wind and company made it worse. Spend a bit more head to La Quinta
Good twilight value
Fairways were great, but some of the greens were a little sparse. My wife and I played at the twilight rate which we thought was good value.
