Great Course!

We enjoyed our round of golf. Staff was very friendly. Course was in good condition and pace of play was good. Holes with water are challenging. The 19th hole was excellent. Food,drinks and staff were awesome.

Enjoyed my round

This course was under reseeding with no driving range or putting green. Played the Vista course twice. Course is in good shape and do recommend it.

Stay away from here!

I’m not a big review guy but I have to leave one for here. Just stay away from this place. The whole experience was awful, We thought this was going to be bad before stepping on the tee box and we were right. First, we were not notified that we are playing the same 9 holes twice. The lady in the pro shop was laughing saying that we were lucky to be even playing at this time of year. I understand that it’s overseeding season but there is a good dozen other courses we could have played and have already played on this trip.

The course was a goat track with patched together greens that haven’t been cut in a week. The rough turns to dirt near the green where you have to move the ball out every time. The greens crew clearly haven’t golfed before driving right behind us trying to tee off.

They’re staying open to suck money out of visitors on the off season. They should close and maintain it properly before sending paying guests out there. Just save your time and and money and look elsewhere. We wasted a whole morning at this place.

Recommendations

We played 9 holes twice. because of over-seeding.

It should be informed when I booked the tee time.

A Waste of Time and Money

I showed and learned that only the Vista 9 was open and that I would have to play it twice. Golf Now should have let us know this in advance. Then, I came upon an eightsome on the third hole, which was absurd. They wouldn’t let our threesome through on the fourth tee, so I said no thanks to this nonsense and drove back to the pro shop to ask for a credit or a voucher to play another day. Of course, the club’s policy is not to give refunds, so I had to eat the $48. At least, the pro shop attendant said he would try to do something about the eightsome, but it was too late for me. It will be some time before I try Desert Princess again.

Unwelcome surprises

its the time of year that courses here reseed. They had failed to warn me and others that only 9 holes were open, which we were supposed to play twice then.

The wind was howling and fine dust was everywhere, especially on the 9 holes that were open. Sometimes couldn’t see the fairway for dust.

Not enjoyable at all.

Twice before there I have showed up at 1 only to be told that carts have to be in at 3:30. Again they failed to warn us. Not good service.

Must play in Palm Springs

Easily one of the better public courses I have played. Challenging layout with water on most of the holes. Fairways were in great condition and greens rolled nice. The locals who live here and play regularly seem very welcoming as well. Will definitely play here again next time I’m in town

can't go wrong at Desert Princess

This course is fun to pay. Not extremely difficult, but it has it's challenges. Got out early to beat the heat and was not disappointed. Course conditions are good for this time of year. Will be back soon.

Slow Greens

Greens were so slow seemed like they hadn’t been cut in weeks. Tees boxes were also in poor condition. Some burned out spots on the fairways and around the greens.

Excellent Condition

Not exactly my best round, but definitely one that does rank toward the top because of the conditions of the course. New sand in the green side bunkers made coming out of them a challenge but playable.

Greens Were Way Too Hard

It really takes away from the experience when the greens can't even hold a sky high 9-iron...let alone the 7 & 5 that bounced 20+ yards past their destination. Didn't leave one pitch mark. Otherwise, it's a gorgeous course.
