Course conditions continue to improve
Course is in good shape. Greens run true and bunker conditions continue to improve. Pace of play was great completed round in 3 1/2 hours. Worth playing if your in the area.
Poor overall conditions., but decent greens
Tee boxes were uncut, and bunkers had very little sand, mostly hard packed dirt. Cart paths were broken up in places from past flooding. Hole 10 now reduced to a par 3...making it a par 70 layout.
Overall it was a less than pleasant experience, despite the good greens the nice pace of play....3:40 for a twosome.
No food and beverage service. Clubhouse restaurant permanently closed.
Still a great place to play
Played back to back rounds yesterday and today and I must say the course is very playable. Greens were true and fast, fairways were well kept and freshly cut.I will say the tee boxes were in need of a mow. Bunkers have an interesting mixture that is like firm mud. Some were better than others. Pace of play was 4hrs both days starting at 7:30. No range, clubhouse service or refreshment cart although beverages and snacks are available. All in all, great value golf.
February in PS
Hot and dry day made for a very surprising great experience. There was some debris from the big wind still on the coarse in the rough but the fairways and especially the greens were in great shape. Don’t judge the course by your first impression, play it. A bit expensive, no driving range but worth the time
Cathedral canyon play
The fairways are great greens ran true staff ways courteous a couple tee boxes could use some leveling the course is great though as is
Good value
It’s a decent course for the $ but hard to find your way around. Fortunately we had a gent playing with us who knew the layout and led us from hole to hole.
Great course
The course was very playable and worth the money. Hole 10 had damage from flooding, apparently from several years ago. It used to be a par 5 now a par 3.
Cow Pasture
This course needs a lot of love. It is not maintained very well at all sometimes it’s hard to find grass to place a ball on your neck shot. I would not recommend this course to experience golfers although the greens were excellent. The approach and fairways were terrible.
This is a nice course and fun layout.
The course was in great shape. The overseeing is only done on the important parts and looked and played well. The greens were in good shape and very few were showing excessive wear/ball marks
considering the golf traffic the course gets. If you are more interested in the golf versus club house venue, then this is a great value.
Great layout and value
Based on the price I wasn't expecting much, The neighborhood/pro-shop weren't very fancy, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the course layout and conditions. They layout is challenging, with a lot of water to deal with, very fast and smooth greens. Wished I had played this round earlier in my stay, so I could have returned. Would definitely recommend over many of the other nearby courses that are much more expensive and not nearly as fun (challenging) to play.
Long distances between holes
For the money this time of year in Palm Springs, an “adequate” value. Be prepared for very ling distances between holes, especially the back nine. No
club House refreshments or food; only run of the mill vending machine oriented choices.
The course is a nice layout lots of water challenges.
the bunkers were very wet and had puddles just had to move the ball a few times.
Budget Gem
Overall decent conditions. Greens were good and tee boxes well grasses.
Scenic layout, not an easy course for beginners.
Great value for money.
Rather slow pace of play. Marshall came around to apologize.
Great course for the money
My wife and I play a round here whenever we visit Palm Springs it’s a challenging course and reasonably priced. It is challenging enough for the above average player
Good Value
No it is not a Jack Nicholas course, but it doesn’t have Jack Nicholas pricing. We booked this course as a last minute change due to incoming weather. Cost was reasonable for a weekend. Starter was very informative and helpful. Front nine was pretty open, while back nine had more water hazards. Our round was 4.5 hours as we were behind a foursome (we were a twosome) which would be pretty standard. Course condition was fine.
