Must play in Palm Springs

Easily one of the better public courses I have played. Challenging layout with water on most of the holes. Fairways were in great condition and greens rolled nice. The locals who live here and play regularly seem very welcoming as well. Will definitely play here again next time I’m in town

can't go wrong at Desert Princess

This course is fun to pay. Not extremely difficult, but it has it's challenges. Got out early to beat the heat and was not disappointed. Course conditions are good for this time of year. Will be back soon.

Slow Greens

Greens were so slow seemed like they hadn’t been cut in weeks. Tees boxes were also in poor condition. Some burned out spots on the fairways and around the greens.

Excellent Condition

Not exactly my best round, but definitely one that does rank toward the top because of the conditions of the course. New sand in the green side bunkers made coming out of them a challenge but playable.

Greens Were Way Too Hard

It really takes away from the experience when the greens can't even hold a sky high 9-iron...let alone the 7 & 5 that bounced 20+ yards past their destination. Didn't leave one pitch mark. Otherwise, it's a gorgeous course.

I really enjoyed the Vista and Lago nines. Paired with a great guy from Canada on Lago. Fortunately, the other pairing on Vista only played nine

Fantastic layout

The course was in immaculate condition..The fairways are wide open. The greens are fast but fair. The course weaves through an upscale development.

Enjoyable day

Picked a nice day for first time at Desert Princess. We played Lagos and Cielo. A nice mix of open fairways and water / bunkers. Lagos green side bunkers have excellent sand that you can really hit ours of. Cielo green side were hard pan with only 1/2 inch of sand. The greens are fast and sloped, really need to stay under the flags. Like any course you play for the first time, reading putts was a big challenge. Few one putts over 8 feet. Finished behind a foursome in just over four hours, fastest round in Palm Springs during our stay. If we come back, and I can find a low wind day, I would play here again.
