Short but sweet

A very pretty, well laid out course designed specifically to challenge the short game. 18 par three holes; the average cover won’t need to bring any woods. All in all, worth the drive out to Indio.

Quality of course from greens and fairways were just right for the value I paid for (peak season). The course was just like a muni course with a $50 value.

Clubhouse being remodeled. Checkin was in a temporary facility.

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.

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.
