Nestled in Coachella Valley, Date Palm Country Club sits at the base of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountain ranges, providing nearly every hole on the golf course with a stunning view. The course is the centerpiece of a popular retirement community near Palm Springs, a location that enjoys nice weather year-round and is just 20 minutes from shopping, dining, and museums. The layout is on the shorter side, but it still has some challenging holes. The golf course demands accuracy with every contour of the rolling terrain and you'll be put to the test even further when maneuvering the small greens and narrow fairways. The bunkering is minimal but strategic at Date Palm C.C., and the occasional water hazard also comes into play. In addition to the golf course, there is a practice putting green.

Great executive course

We enjoyed this course on a rather hot day. There is lots of shade on this course which is good for the hot weather. With the exception of hole 2, which was closed, the course was in good condition. It is a bit challenging with some fun water features. I will play this one again.

A Fun Round of Golf

This course is a lot of fun to play. We played on a day when there were few people out; in fact, we didn't see another person playing. There is plenty of trouble to find (water) which makes it more interesting. We look forward to playing again.

Very nice change of pace.

Lots of trees in 100 degree weather. Challenging water all over the curse. Narrow tree lined fairways, greens In fine condition. Great way to spend two to three hours. Doesn’t tire you out for the entire day! Excellent course to work on your short game. Great price. And best of all, I can beat my wife at Date Palm!

Fun executive course

First time playing here and we enjoyed it. It is well kept. The only thing was the bar and grill wasn’t open. It’s the only course I know of they said you can bring your own BYOB, which I would recommend since there was no place to buy any.

DO NOT GOLF HERE

Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else. The price is not worth dealing with this horribly run course with some of the worst management I've ever experienced. Judy was rude, condescending, and downright mean. She even spoke poorly about her own staff. In addition, Judy was unwilling work with my group who booked this course for the main event of our weekend retreat. We paid for 6 golfers with 2 spectators, but were randomly kicked off the course for "insurance reasons" after only two of our golfers had teed off from the first hole.

I will never be back and will continue to spread the word to avoid this course.

Our savior during the hot months

This course is so much fun to play, a little bit of everything (except par 5s). The staff is friendly, the place is laid back and it's just a joy to play for the price. I strongly recommend this course to anyone looking for a quick round of 18 holes.
