Update needed

Super friendly staff and great place for beginners or to practice irons. Definitely need new pull carts! Not much grass in several tees.

Cute little course for practice !

About 100 yards each hole I think the longest one was 115 so it’s perfect for short game practice.

Good to start

This is a course for kids, beginners, seniors and anyone that just needs to start off the season with some practice shots. There is also a putting and practice range which I will take my grandson to before I leave Palm desert.

Perfect for a quick 9 holes

We were visiting Palm Springs and wanted to play a quick 9 holes with my wife and her family. None of them are big golfers, so we landed on a 9-hole par three courses. This course was perfect for beginners, in decent shape, and still had some fun holes with elevation changes. The biggest complaint is that they don't have any food or alcohol. They had some snacks and n/a beverage, but we showed up hoping to get a quick bite before the round and have a morning cocktail. Otherwise, really enjoyed the course.
