The layout was weird - doubling back to finish the front nine, we had to maneuver around golfers on the 3rd tee. Tee boxes were a little uneven. Lots of construction around the couse left some fairways sandy and/or very dry. Will come back next year to see how the upgrades have improved the overall golfing experience.

We had the course to ourselves, a bit dry in some sections but a fun and challenging course. Some remolding going on at the clubhouse and on one hole. Greens are fast, water and ice available at clubhouse.

Not worth the money!

This a very old course that is not very well maintained. In several areas the grass is dying and it looks like there answer is to throw more water on it. Fairways are mowed way to short to be playable. The course is very short and very narrow. Multiple times I had people from other fairways playing in my fairway. No range to warm up at on this course, but they do have 4 batting cages that you can hit balls into. The practice green is very beautiful. Unfortunately it is not representative of the greens on the course.

This course could be a cute and fun course to play if it was better maintained. They are wasting millions on renovations to the club house, but not the course.

Needed a quick tee time and now I know why I found one, the greens were fine but the fairways were in pretty bad shape, the layout is strange, they should be charging a lot less for playing this place.

A little slow.

This coarse was very nice and enjoyable to play. We were however behind a foursome where two of the players didn’t know how to play and they weren’t inclined to let us play through. A coarse Marshall would have helped. I will play there again.

Ok for the money. Pretty rough course.

Only paid $42. Not a bad price. Course was pretty edgy. No clubhouse or food.

Great older course

I am not an avid golfer so the longer courses are challenging for me. This was only my third round of the year and it was the perfect course to start our Palm Springs vacation. The Clubhouse and Pro Shop are under construction so they’re working out of trailers and open air refreshments. Very comfortable seating area for pre-and post play, local members were very friendly. The staff was fantastic, we got off early and were able to play as a twosome starting on the back nine, because the starter told us a large group had gone off in front of us.

While the fairways were starting to show the heat, the greens were in great shape as well as the rough. I would definitely recommend this course for beginning golfers or those that like me don’t play all that often and want to feel successful.
