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.

Walkers paradise?

This course would be so much better if walking rates were offered and strongly encouraged. The fairways would be in much better shape with reduced cart play..

Work in progress

The clubhouse and restaurant/bar are closed as they are remodeling. Temporary bar is there!

I have never seen a putting green this large.

The guys I played with were great as was the round.

Good value for the money , very enjoyable stress free round of golf. Only 5200 yards long but not what I consider easy.. The outdoor lounge area is a great spot for a refreshment after your round.

Nice Folks

Decided to play by myself and was fortunate to be paired with a very nice guy. The very nice lady who worked the pro shop couldn’t be more helpful. I will be back and with my wife.

Quirky course that doesn’t break the bank.

We didn’t expect much, because of the low greens fee. We were pleased with the exceptional quality of the sand in the bunkers and the greens. I would say the greens were as good as an expensive course.

The layout was quirky, bordering on unsafe. Three times we had balls drop right next to us, and nobody bothered to say fore…which is a statement about the kind of people who play inexpensive courses, but course layout didn’t contribute to a safe environment. You could tell the people who had played the course before because they knew where the trouble would be, and avoided it. Being newbies here, we weren’t as wise.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed ourselves. We will be back.

Really nice people and wonderful conditions. Liked that the holes weren’t all real long. Designed for senior players. I will be back with my wife next time.
