Great Tune-Up Center
Greens and “fairways” are in great condition for tgis chip-n-putt learning center - tee boxes are all scabbed over and have very little grass. They did a nice job of introducing elevation change and strategically positioned traps with good sand to hit out of.

Quick 1-1.5 walking with the kiddo
Home of the First Tee program. No pressure when taking your junior golfer for a quick round. Rabbits are just hanging along the sides of Hole 1-4 so your kids will be distracted at the tees

Nice Change of Pace
Well maintained pitch and putt course with friendly, welcoming staff. Good pace of play, greens are in good shape for a par 3 course. Only quibble would be a couple of holes are set very close together, so you have to be careful.

Super Friendly
We played this course for the first time. My wife is new to golf so looking for an unpressured environment to play and this fit the bill perfectly.
Course was in great condition, reception in office super friendly and round included a bucket of balls on the range before we started and flexibility to tee off when we were ready.
We obviously went at end of summer with temperature quite high but would not hesitate to play on a future visit to Palm Springs area.
