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 par 3

We were supposed to play another course that day but due to the wind cancelled our game. I then looked on GolfNow and found a time available at Date Palm.

We enjoyed ourselves as a 2some and the only golfers on the course. Absolutely no wind there.

The greens were great as well as the rest of the course, we were pleasantly surprised.

Course needs TLC

Wow, has this course ever deteriorated over the years! Too bad as we used to play there a lot.

The Royal 9 was OK, although slow as they seemed to put everyone out at the same time and of course, there wasn't a Players Assistant on the course.

We then went on to the Mountain 9...lots of work needed. Couldn't tell the rough from the bunkers on some of the holes.

The greens on both nines are patchy (maybe a virus?).

This person obviously attributed their round to the wrong course because Date Palm does not have a Royal 9 or a Mountain 9, and it is in the best shape in 15 years!.

Walked

Love it!

You can walk round the course as there is no distance between green and next tee.

Plenty of shade when the weather gets warmer

Always a warm welcome

Not the most challenging of courses but enough to test your skills. you can get round walking in 3 hours. you are not hanging about waiting - players will let you play through. now has an Italian bistro which we haven't tried yet. There is a fire pit to sit round and enjoy a beer after a round.I've paid a lot more and had less enjoyment!

Great par 3 course

This course actually surprised us as we usually only golf the bigger courses, but due to the wind in Indio, we booked a tee time here. It had enough challenge for us...several ponds, sand bunkers and excellent greens.

Not best value for the money.

They've increased their rates but I don't see any improvements. Lots of goose poop on the course.
