We enjoyed playing this course, the greens were not in good condition, fairways were beautiful.
Nicely manicured course
Excellent over all
Some green are showing sign of heat stress
Water features were below average. No streams flowing and the water level was way low .
Too many and large brown areas in turn was not to pretty. No cart girl on a Saturday?
Snack bar at the turn was closed.
Nice layout
Nice layout, very well maintained. A couple greens had bare spots but this is desert.
Overcharged for what you get.
Nice layout good fairway but terrible green bare dirt on some part of the and a few inputable, I'm disappointed for what they're charging for this golf course, there's some much nicer golf courses for far less.
Don't waste your time playing here.
Country club?
Far from a country club. Old run down muni with no real challenges. First four holes just straight, no frills. Least favorite course of all the ones I've played in Palm Springs.
Sad Greens
I have played the course before. It is a resort course with trees and walls on most of the fairways. It has a lot of water and wind is a factor. It has a short range, pretty much irons only. My main complaint is the greens were in terrible shape. Lots of burn and rot and scaling. Just a sad look. I quit my last round there after nine holes because of the greens and slow play.
Decent Course Reasonable Rate
Enjoyed the course for the most part. Some of the greens were a bit rough but overall a good experience. Got a good price on Golf Now so pretty good value.
Green and shady!
Liked the course- a parkland course vs. a desert course with some water, protected greens.
Some of the greens had dark, muddy spots on the putting surface - mainly the front 9. The course in general needs some TLC.
Would be helpful to have either GPS access or hole pix/graphics so you have some idea of the hole layout and distances.
Green needed a lot of work, if you are not a fan of target golf don't go
Similar to a muni
I’ve played this course several times over the past couple years and it has remained fairly consistent. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape however the greens are nothing to write home about. Bare spots and invasive grass make putting problematic.
Tall trees line fairways which reminds me of muni courses in NorCal. The ninth hole is the most challenging as you hit your tee shot onto an island then again over water to the green, which is massive. Two putts are not a given.
No drink cart on the day I played so plan ahead on hot days.
