The front needs a lot of love no grass on fairways the back 9 was in a lot better shape. It still could use some up keep. The greens were the best part of the course. The starter was a very nice person

Great people

The course is a good value for the money but falls short of Palm Springs conditions.

Friendly staff and good holes.

Visually great holes

This is a course I could play everyday.

Great variety of holes and visually interesting.

Closing four holes you better be playing well

to finish your round with a good score.

Good value course

Overall the course is in good condition. Hole 1 and 10 were affected by a flood and are not repaired yet. However both of those greens were in good shape All other holes are in good shape as well as the greens.

We paid $49 for golf and cart which is a reasonable rate even with the two holes that are damaged.

I found the pro shop staff okay and the starter was grumpy.

Old tired course

This course has seen better times , it is not well kept . Fairways and tee boxes were in really bad condition, the greens were adequate. I would not recommend it for regular golfers looking for a nice experience. If you were new to golf and looking for some value then maybe otherwise pass on it .

Great value

Forgetting the first two holes (1 is ‘under repair’ and 2 is blah) the rest of the course was very enjoyable. Greens were (for the most part…a few blotches here and there) very good and rolled true. Fairways were (again, for the most part) in good condition. I enjoyed the layout and very much value for dollar spent (yes you could spend 3-10 times the amount for a nicer clubhouse, exceptional conditioning, range, etc) but for a snowbird who hadn’t swung a club for 3 months, this was perfect.
