Fun Par 3

I played at night "under the lights" which is a must do for any guys down in the Coachella valley on a guys trip. My pics are from the famous Tuesday night Muni Madness skins game.

No bunkers on the course, which is kind of rare and fun. Holes range from 95-2010 yards. Fun place!

Nice PAR 3 course

The price is a little high for this course. The Golf Now price is deceiving because you have to add $12 for a cart per person. You can play a full size course for the price you pay here. If they would fix this or better explain this issue, I would recommend this course.

“Lights” out track

If you are an experienced golfer or brand new to the game, this is an awesome course. We enjoyed it the first time we played it and it was even better the second time!! Get out and support your local muni.

Fun little course to practice irons. Tee areas well worn but good areas available without strict adherence to markers. Greens in good shape.

bees

We actually couldn't play today since there were bees that made play hazardous -- we were advised not to play. The ratings above are based on our exeriences there in years past. We couldn't play yesterday either since we were delayed in a meeting. We cancelled with the course, but couldn't with GolfNow since we didn't know the procedure for that.

Indio The Lights

This was the first time I have played this course. The course was a pleasant surprise, you need and use most of the clubs in your bag, not the usual 2 or 3 on most par 3 courses. Would definitely play again.

cute little par 3

We enjoyed playing this cute little par.3. It would have been easy to walk, but we took a cart. We played early morning, glad we did as the course was quite busy when we finished.

Good day to golf

Course was in great shape. Pace of play was good with only a couple of short delays. Finished the 18 holes in about 2 1/2 hours. Clubhouse host was a little distracted and even though everyone had booked tee times - the advice was to line up and go .....

We would play there again.

Rained out

We were moving along very well and hoped we’d finish before the rain but it wasn’t to be. We managed to finish 14 holes. The course is in decent condition except for some muddy areas beside a few of the tee boxes.
