Great rate

The course conditions were about what one would expect at the end of a long hit summer. Lots of big dry and dead spots. It was still enjoyable, just to be on a course-- any course-- after a long layoff. Staff was great. Rate was even greater- under $14 bucks for 18 walking. I would have been really upset if I'd paid full rate and then encountered the course conditions, as they are now.

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!
