Good Value

Course is not in great shape, particularly the first hole that plays down by the wash area. However the course layout is quite good, and the greens were in excellent condition. So even though the maintenance of the course is somewhat low, the lower green fees make it a good value if you just want to play a round of golf without paying a high price. We would play it again if price remains reasonable.

Ok course

There is still evident damage from the weather in August. The 1st hole has quite a bit of damage and #10 (normally a par 5) is being played as a par 3. Greens are in great shape.

Staff are very friendly and starter, Assa, makes it fun to be there.

Very good value for the money. Lounge and restaurant would be really nice to have available when your done a round of golf. The general manager went above and beyond to accommodate us. He’s a 10/10.

Overall good course for the price!! Only thing I can complain about is that my last 2 tee times here have been changed to an earlier time without notifying me.

Nice day with friends, just a rough shape course.

If you have a choice to play another course, please do so. Course was in very rough shape. #10 hole was a par 5 they converted into a par 3. Starter was friendly and gave good information. Just way too much to pay for a course in this condition. The weather was nice and the views are nice on several holes. Get used to planes approaching landing at Palm Springs airport frequently during your rounds. Golf cart was clean and in good condition. Bathrooms clean and staff that checked us in was nice too.

Booked Feb 6 for 11:40 pm on the 7th. Morning of the 7th I received a call from the course informing me that my tee time wasn’t available. He said 1:40 was available & they only had 9 hole’s available. I declined so I lost my GolfNow booking fee. Shouldn’t be on GolfNow !!

A number of recent reviews were very critical of the condition of the course. While some fairways were poor- the greens were excellent and bunkers well maintained. The course design is interesting with some very good holes and a couple of really good parts threes with water in play.
