Desert Dunes Golf Course

Range is solid dirt. Small bucket is plenty. I think it’s a $45 track. Anything over $60 is criminal.

Played this venerable Robert Trent Jones Jr course on a calm day. It’s still a fun layout although showing some wear and tear around the edges. Challenging but fair, but a brute on a windy day! Skeleton crew in the club house, but very welcoming. Would play it again for sure.

Good layout. Bunkers were packed mud, no sand. Fair shape. Needs some maintenance

we didn't see the refreshment cart for quite a while and phoned in twice. They sent out a free round of drinks for our foursome which I thought was very nice of them

This course has potential but it's in a bad part of town while nothing around it is kept up. The whole driveway and bag drop desperately needs a face lift and sets the tone for the rest of the course and it's condition. We teed off as the third group in the early AM and were stuck behind the slowest first foursome I've ever seen that didn't allow any groups behind them to play through. They must have been playing for big money because they were lining up the puts as if they were tour pros. By the time we made the turn there must have been 5-6 groups waiting on the first tee as they were no doubtably behind schedule because of the kooks in the first foursome. Every hole had a wait and there was no marshal anywhere to enforce. The greens were like putting on an uneven miniature golf course that was so bad the ball would literally ping off the spots of different types of grass as if in a pinball machine. The Bunkers were a disaster as the sand was not sand but hard cement with giant rocks in it (no, these were not waste bunkers) that hadn't been raked for days if not weeks. The course layout is kinda ok. There are definitely some blind shots where you can't see the group ahead of you and if you tee off thinking it's clear you could very well end up hitting into them which the group behind us did by accident and we did twice. We finally finished our long long round and make it to the 19th hole. NONE of the beers on tap worked and the bartender gave us attitude when we asked for a different draft in hopes that it worked but alas did not. Then to add insult to injury, they wouldn't even honor their GolfPass discount perks of 20% off and gave us attitude when we showed her our membership. There are so many other courses to play in the Coachella valley than to waste your time and money by driving out to this goat track to be treated this way. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere because chances are it'll be a lot closer and a lot friendlier.

Loved the layout and being at

A course without all the adjacent homes. Traps need a lot of work. Huge greens that putted true.

Gear value for the price. Not to be played on a windy day

Fairways looked and felt like they were recovering from former damage. We had to move our ball after every shot on the front nine due to subpar conditions. Layout of the course is decent but hopefully this course will recover and improve conditions. Carts are warn out and need an upgrade
