Bring all your clubs

It may be a par 3 course, but you will need most of the clubs in your bag. There are short holes and very long par 3 holes. I used sand wedge on a hole less than 100 yards and 3 wood on a 240 yard hole. Not a pitch and putt, lots of challenge to this course. It was in good condition and the greens rolled nicely. I got a good hot deal on GolfNow, so it was worth the price. Fun course, I’d play it again.

Great coarse for beginners

Really nice coarse for beginners and to learn how to play without feeling pressure from anyone. Fairways are in good condition and have golf cars available.

Not as much fun as I remember

My wife and I used to visit Palm Desert area a lot and always played this course. We played it today and were pretty disappointed. There is a lot of construction going on at the course, but my main complaint is the new carts and the gps system in them. It stops or warns you if you get anywhere near the greens and tee boxes- even on the “cart paths”. It was really annoying, plus they charged $30 cart fee just for the privilege. When we finished, the cart guy said they needed to be reprogrammed and they would be doing that soon.

Solid Par 3 Course

18 hole par 3 course, but this is not your average pitch and putt. Some of the holes have significant length to them. Course conditions are good. Tees are a little beat up but the fairways and greens are nice. First time ever playing a round of golf at night under the lights and it was fun. A cool experience if you're in town and just want an easy-going, fun round to work on your irons.
