Disappointed

Employees were nice, helpful, but course was in poor condition - lots of palm tree debris on the fairways. Fairway grass was very patchy, brown spots, bald spots, etc. Not worth the price relative to other courses in extended Palm Springs area.

Tight with very slow greens but affordable

Wanted an afternoon round at a short (5400 from blues) affordable course. Pace should have been 3.5 hours but more like 4.25 due to a couple slow 4-somes ahead. Course was too tight for non-precision 230+ drivers. Greens were painfully slow. Pluses were a very playable course with fairway woods, hybrids, and irons. It was fun, relatively easy to book a tee time. Very affordable.

Well protected greens

This course is undergoing renovations for the main building after a recent change in ownership. A poor over seeding in 2022 has resulted in the fairways being mediocre. The greens and tees are average quality. The staff is very friendly and outgoing.

Not a course for serious golfers wanting to play a top course. Course is short and holes are tightly packed. Greens are good but fairways could use some work. It is not for “golf snobs” but inexpensive and ideal for couples or a casual game with spouse. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. There is also a putting course which we didn’t play but looks like a lot of fun. Arrive well before your tee time and try it.

Better than expected

Older course, very narrow, short but some interesting holes. A little rough around the edges but the greens were good. Much better than I expected based on some of the reviews. The putting course and outdoor dining areas look deluxe but I did not get to enjoy them. Played in 3 hours.

Short but sweet

A very pretty, well laid out course designed specifically to challenge the short game. 18 par three holes; the average cover won’t need to bring any woods. All in all, worth the drive out to Indio.

Quality of course from greens and fairways were just right for the value I paid for (peak season). The course was just like a muni course with a $50 value.

Clubhouse being remodeled. Checkin was in a temporary facility.
