Great short game course

If new to the game or want to work on your short game. Challenging looks on some holes. I enjoy the price, being able to walk, and hearing all the laughs and good times by people..

Challenging par 3 course and the day we played it was cold and windy, but enjoyed the outing since it is one of the things to do during quarantine, practically had the course to ourselves.

nice day to play

we had a large group ( 3 carts full of people, 2 families and 6 people playing) in front of us, eventually we were able to play through ( hole 14) but the course should do a better job keeping an eye on the size of the groups playing and emphasize to groups with kids to let players through so as to avoid excessive waiting.

very relaxing round of golf with friends

The value of the course was augmented by the Golf Now app which charged $48.00 for four persons. The range was a pleasure to use. I like the balls being placed out there instead of lugging buckets. The course is very forgiving for rusty players and yet the greens are among the more challenging in the Valley. We look forward to returning to golf in Indio after travelling from the Nothern climates.

Thank you

The tee boxes were a little rough and there were some soggy spots here and there but on the whole it was ok.

Tee boxes are like mine fields no traction in wet muddy sand. Greens had been sanded so a discount should have been offered.

Driving range tees are horrible

Great Course and a lot of fun!

It is a really nice course and the layout is awesome. Fun to play because you can hit driver and there is room for slight error but it will punish you for big misses. Keep the tee shots in play and you can score well. Highly recommend and when I come back next time I will be checking out the Dunes course!

Christmas Day not a good choice

Never again will we play on Christmas Day. Many non golfers out on the course, riding around in carts with no clubs and their dogs. Just out accompanying a single golfer. Talking loud on their phones. This should not be allowed.

Also, pace of play should be monitored.

There needs to be a marshall our on the course.

Otherwise we love this little course. And the staff.
