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.

Excellent Par 3 with 4 short par 4's

Great 18 hole executive style course just over 4000
yards. Friendly staff and good pace of play.
Good conditioned greens and fairways. Greens are
modest size to make for a challenge and course has
some well placed water hazards and bunkering. Good
test of your iron play.

Good course with new carts

I've played this par 59 course in the past, but haven't been back for a few years. The golf carts are nice and new. The staff was friendly, but the carts must be in the cart barn by 6pm. The greens are really slow, so that threw off my timing quite a bit, but the course is in good shape. There is no driving range. They have a small area near the cart barn where you can hit some of your "old" golf balls into the storm drain, never to be retrieved again.

Course is reasonably well maintained but over booked resulting in slow play. The greens are extremely slow compared with other courses I've played in the area. Over all it was a fun round.

Pretty little course

This course has lots of good features but tends to play very slow the first few holes, Would suggest not letting anyone tee off on 1st hole until group in front are finished putting.

GOLF CLUB REGISTRATION CURMUDGEON

i enjoyed the day of golf with one exception. My wife, 2 friends & I had an enjoyable afternoon. I have played the course off & on over the past 10 years, along with other courses in the Coachella Valley and have never experienced a more grumpier and rude curmudgeon working at the sign-in desk. I noticed there have been other reviews with the same criticism. Perhaps it is time for a change and he should be retired. The snowbirds that come to play this course will have second thoughts about playing Date Palm again after being subjected to a nasty welcome.

Older course which had fallen on disrepair and is now mounting a comeback...lots of grass in the fairways, smooth putting greens, narrow fairways make for tight shots...not a great course but good value for the $...would definitely play again

A Walk in the Park

Well-maintained short flat course, good for beginners or a relaxing round of golf, an easy walk. Meanders through a residential area, narrow for some golfers. Greens are slow.

Nice short course

Didn't realize course was an executive par 3 until we got there. Discrepancy between Golf Now posted rates after 12:00 pm and rates at the course. We asked pro shop employee for lower course rate and were insulted and treated very rudely. Not impressed with how we were treated, but enjoyed our game

Trailer park course

I should have read the other reviews of the course before booking this round. It was an executive type course with only 2 short par 4 holes on each side. The greens were slow, but the course was in fairly good condition. The women in our group enjoyed the course because it was short and not too difficult.
