Great practice course

I usually play a round here when in town. Because I'm not a strong golfer I'm partial to executive & par 3 courses. I did play in 112 degree weather so nobody was on the course. I played a few balls since there wasn't any rush to move on to the next hole. Since sprinklers came on a few of the holes I was playing I had to skip around & circle back to play them all.

The Lights @ Indio

Playing under the lights was awesome. Nice to play 200 yard par 3’s, sprinkled in with traditional 110 to 160 par 3’s.

Always fun

This place is my comfort zone. When something is not working, I fall back here. The course is always in the same shape. Some patchy areas, and hard greens. I was surprised with how fast the greens were. One day this place is going to have the proper funding to be the best par-3 course in California. I cannot wait!

Tried to enjoy the day

I was double charged for my tee time. Send an email with no response. Next is to settle with bank. That alone will prevent me from going back. But the staff on site was nice. We went on a really windy day and the course had a hard surface play to it. We didn’t enjoy as I hoped we would’ve.

Overall a great experience

Loved the experience! But…I paid $120 for two juniors and myself…for an 8 PM tee time. Would have been $60 at the course, junior rate is $10! Also, the lights turn off at 10 PM! So I spent $120 for 14 holes. Overall though, we had a blast! Great conditions for a muni par 3. Be careful though, balls flying in from everywhere!

nice day in Indio for golf

it was warm but we had a nice breeze, slow 4some in front of us the first 10 holes, then they quit so it went faster.

course was ok, some of the greens were suffering a bit. More benches would be nice unless no waiting is guaranteed. This area has a lot of older people that like to walk the course but waiting around to tee off is easier when there is a bench at every hole.

Nice afternoon for a round of golf

Perfect weather, course in pretty decent shape( for a municipal course especially). Pace bit slow here and there but on the back nine I was able to play through which helped a lot.

Nice course for beginners or seniors

I took my 85 year old dad and his friend for a very quick round . It’s a short course but the perfect distance for short hitters. Greens were great and overall conditions good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I will return .

good but some basic maintenance issues

Ball washing stands need fresh clean water as the water was slimy or non existent so balls could not be washed. With the players getting backed up it would be nice if all tees had benches to sit on while waiting your time to tee off.

Good to see perimeter fence being replaced.

Pond water looking clean.
