I Recommend This Course
Hidden around several Country Clubs
This is a gem for the location. Course is in great condition except for the bumpy Tee Boxes. The price is fair and its a tight course that makes you think about each shot. I will play again!

Short and tight but fair
Very short and tight course. Really good pace of play and the friendliest staff you will meet anywhere. Downside is there is no real estate to make any longer or wider but the maximize the course they have.
Very enjoyable.

JUST Fun Course
A course that reminds you of the golf courses of yesterday. Fun holes and although not a long course it has its difficult hole with fun layout. Entire staff is outstanding, friendly, and welcoming. Outside post bar is a great way to finish off the day.

Shadow Mountain
Oldest golf course in Palm Desert. It’s a good one to warm up on if you haven’t played for a while. Course is in good shape but bunkers could use better sand. Can almost always get a tee time.

Tight short enjoyment
I Play this course 10-20 times every winter. It is tight and short but fair. I would dare say the last two years the course plays the best it ever has by far. Fairways and greens are in great shape. The staff are the friendliest and accommodating that you will find anywhere.

Interesting course. Great for starting season , short and very tight. Lots of fencing and nets and close together tees. Need to be very alert.
