Rough shape

Course is in bad shape right now. Dead/thin spots everywhere and greens are slow and bumpy. I’ll wait a few months and give them time to fix it before I go back.

Rude and disrespectful

The staff was rude and entitled! We were trying to check in and were treated badly!

I don’t recommend wasting your money here!

There are many other choices in the desert!!

Golfen old lady

I have played these courses many times and the courses have been in good to excellent condition. but not this time. The fairways and around the greens are in poor condition, no grass or burnt-out grass. The greens are in good- minus condition The cart attendant was grumpy old man. After driving an hour, I was very disappointed.

Needs a sign

Greens were great! Fairways had too many bare spots. However, when in shape it has been a great course the few times I played it. When playing the Cielo course and getting off the first green you expect hole #2 to be straight ahead. Who would expect that you go all the way to the wash to play 1 hole.. After figuring out that is wrong you start looking for signs that tell you where to go. There is 1 sign that says follow the arrows and it's pointed in the wrong direction so golfers from 1 don't even notice it. The sign needs to be facing the people coming off 1 and it needs to say "FOLLOW THE ARROWS ON THE STREET WITH A LEFT ARROW. This is not something that should have to be explained. We held up the group behind us for 15 minutes because of it.

Quirky course. Just a bit overpriced for the condition its in

Certainly you need to keep a close eye out for the signage to get around the course.. its right in the middle if a housing development so for me it lacked character.

Greens were true faiways were poor. Course was quite forgetable . Overpriced when compared to other in the area.

Decent course

Course was dry and some fairways were really thin but didn’t negatively affect play. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Fun course and will be back again.

Nice Facility

I played the Lagos and Cielo combo out of the 27 holes. The staff were accommodating and extremely nice. The course was of older design with open flat fairways, bunkers throughout and a lot of water hazards. The holes themselves were redundant and hard to remember but offered a challenge due to many trees, bunkers and water hazards. The greens, fairways and bunkers were well kept. The course winds through housing and there is a lot of driving in the streets and most fairways have homes on the left and right which takes away from the ambiance of the course.

Great course!

Desert princess is a beautiful course that’s well maintained and has outstanding staff. Great rates in the summer months but it’s going to be very hot out if you know the geographical region. If you’re coming from out of town and want to stay and play the Doubletree by Hilton on property is fantastic as well.
