Don't Bother

This is basically the goat track for Palm Springs area golf. The driving range is a net. They turned the driving range into an 18 hole putting green. The course was in bad shape from fairways to bunkers. Very old short course in the middle on a semi sketchy neighborhood. It looks like if you want to get drunk and party it may be for you. No clubhouse or decent amenities. It should be a $30 course.

Not worth it.

This course is in terrible condition. Very little grass on the fairways, No pro shop. Club house is shut down. Employees were nice, but that is about it.

The course is only taking care of their greens, fairways are in horrible shape, find a greener course for the money.

Don’t be fooled

The course is kind of a goat track. It looks like a fun place to party afterwards or in the evening but it’s very old and is not well kept. there was no driving range just an 18 hole putting course and a net to hit in. this is a 40 or $50 course at best.

Classic Sarazen design

A desert classic designed by Gene Sarazen with some of the best placed bunkers I’ve ever seen. I found all sorts of sand lies, but all were navigable and easy enough to get out of. The clubhouse was under major remodel, so the amenities were sparse, but the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great value.
