A Gem
Best course on our golf trip. Stunning landscapes, mountain views and excellent conditions. There are 3 nines and it was absolutely beautiful. Staff were great and pro shop has lots of products.
Nice conditions
Course was in really nice shape. Marty the cart guy was great. Really made the experience special. He was a 5 star guy.
Pro shop staff member that checked me in was a 1 star guy. Didn't appreciate the condescending lecture I got from him regarding the need to check in even though I was getting messages from GN that said we could CI online. He should brush up on his customer service skills.
Grass cut on the tall side
Course was in good shape but they seem to be leaving the grass cut on the tall side even the greens which were playing on the slow side compared to other local courses. Be aware if you start on the Cielo course it’s a 8 minute cart ride to the 1st T. There is a practice green by that 1st T. There’s 3 9 hole courses and I don’t know if you can learn in advance which 2 courses you’re assigned.
DESERT PRINCESS REVIEW
Golfer friendly course. Nice reception at arrival. Condition of tee box & fairways, could be upgraded as the grass is kept long. Greens were fast & kept their line.
Fun to play.
Desert Spring golf
Its a gem and the staff are very friendly from the bag drop. pro shop and starters.
Played 2 rounds and really enjoyed the course ad in pretty good shape. Once they roll the greens...watch out
This course is in great shape!
If you're looking for a picturesque course with excellent conditions and and reasonable green fees this is definitely one to play! ⛳
Too Slow for Members
The course and conditions were fine. The ranger that kept pushing us was quite annoying. Members behind us were complaining so we were asked to let them play through. We agreed then it took them 10 minutes to get there and hit. We finished in 4:15 so weren’t that slow. If you don’t want to play behind tourists then ante up and join a private club. If you like my money subsidizing your membership then have a little patience. We played the Cielo 9. Seems like it was an afterthought and stuck out in the desert to offload some non member traffic. Won’t return no matter how good the course is.
Locals
The residents that live around the course in their little houses are totally rude. They come out of their house and jump in front of you while golfing. We had to skip a hole because some rude ladies jumped in front and would not allow us to play through. To add insult to injury they took extra time and were extremely slow. Other residents would walk across the fairway in front of you. It is a nice course but not worth dealing with all the narcissistic psychopaths.
Hacking It Around
The course layout is fun and was in great shape. The only negative was that we had an expected long drive to the first tee on the Ceilo course but not the long drive after finishing in the Vista course.
A little tight
Bounced a few off the fairway houses as some of our group are newbies.
Greens were left long and played very slow.
Not worth the $106 green fee sorry.
Great Day
Nice layout, great conditions
Went out as a single and they put me with a great threesome
Jeff
Has potential for a 5 star. Rated it lower. Rough too high. Difficult to find golf balls. Slows down play.
Fairways too high. No roll. Slow greens. Did not meet expectations
Excellent practice facilities and carts. Great scenery.
Enjoyable
First round since late October and it was an enjoyable round. Not being pushed and didn’t wait more than a few minutes at any point.
Course was great
The staff were exceptionally helpful and courteous. The course was in great condition.. highly recommend
