Fun

Nice older course. Reasonably priced and in good shape. Marshall's monitor couse closely, but no problems when you play fast. Give this one a chance.

Friendly course

Had a good round, just two of us. Pace of play was excellent, done in about 3.5 hours.

Grass is coming in nicely but still a little long on the fairways and greens are very fuzzy and slow. Nonetheless a very enjoyable round.

Hidden Gem

I’ve been coming to the Palm Springs area for 6 years now. I’ve never had the opportunity to play here. This will be one of my top 5 places to return to. Great track with lots of water but also lots of room to stay away from it. Traps were in good shape. Bartender made a great morning Caesar for us. All around great day!!

Staff was kind about our on time arrival. The course grounds were brown and some areas were dirt. The cart person didn’t come by the entire round. On such a hot day it would have been nice. The restaurant staff and food were good. The pro shop staff were great. Thank you we enjoyed our round

Very disappointing

I know it’s in the middle of summer, but holy crap! Greens were OK though tee, areas and fairways were in the worst shape I have ever seen, it’s really sad to see, but I know this place has great potential. Hopefully it will be better next time playing.

Summer heat

As is typical during the summer, the course is not immaculate, as it is during cooler months, but still very playable. Good lies are sometimes hard to come by. Staff is great. Food and drinks are great. Turkey Wrap is delicious. Look forward to playing here again.

Summer Golf

While the course conditions are spotty in several locations due to typical summer weather, the greens and most fairways were in great shape.

The staff is exceptionally friendly, courteous and helpful.

I had a wonderful round.
