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.

Sad

In 2023 this course is in sad shape. Cows would wonder why they were placed in this pasture.

I played this course many times in 2020 and liked it, found it in good condition.

For Coachella Valley, this course isfar below the average Greens Fee price. My Golf Now price with discounts made it a fair value -- I got what I paid for relative to other courses in CV.

Okay, Hole #10 was flooded out and had to be shorted to a Par 3. At the "new" tee-box the Management could not be bothered to put any signage telling us the new Yardage. That is indicative of the overall care going into this course.

Beware, the course tells you "good shape" except hole #10. That is a lie. Hole #1, also prone to flood, is 1/2 sand and 1/4 ground under repair.. Holes #2 and #3 are only slightly better. On the other hand, as you keep playing the fairways get better and match the maintenance of a fair rural muni. (which this is not).

In fairness, the Greens are in good shape. The staff was excellent. Carts clean and good shape.
