Low key, new ownership. Good work in progress. Fun 18 hole putting green. Nice people. Don’t be put off by the under-construction appearance.

Nice Surprise

Pace of play was under 4 hours. Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps and greens were all in very good shape. The course was windy (it is March and course is in Desert Springs). Course is wide open , for the most part, making it beginner friendly and yet challenging for more advanced players. Something for everyone.

Definitely will play here again.

Good pace of play. Greens need work

My wife and I had a lovely afternoon at this course. Pace of pmay is important to me and I was pleased that we got around in under 4 hours.

Only con for this relatively easy and short course, is the front nine greens were in poor shape.

Course in poor shape

Greens were ok. Fairways were very hard with spotty patches of grass every where . Staff was very helpful and friendly. Unless they get the fairways taken care of, I would not recommend playing this course.

A must play!

Probably one of the most charming courses in the desert. Really laid back environment. I play here at least once a month. Oh and because I can't stop talking about it and I'm full of myself, I scored an eagle on the 9th this time around!

This course seems to be seesawing between a decent value and overpriced based upon the condition of the fairways and greens. They need to find a new grounds keeping staff.
