Great Day of Golf

Really like this course. Very fair with some challenging water holes. The greens were not in the best condition. Quite bumpy.

Good Layout & Picturesque

This course has a nice layout, but tired. The greens were slow and very little sand in the traps, along with some bare spots around the greens. Considering the price, it wasn’t a good value. But since we’re from New Hampshire and hadn’t played in 5 months, it was fun.

The pace of play was very good, we played 18 in 3:40, which I thought was very good considering it was at the JW Narriott resort

Great adventure!

We had a great time, but a bit of an adventure with unexpected pouring rain storm and thunder!

Lasted about 20 minutes and had no problem finishing the round!

A goodday

We actually played the Valley Course.It is a nice course. The deep traps were a challenge for us. Also, there had been some heavy winds and the course had not been cleaned up from the debris from the trees.

Great Course

I had not played the course in several years, but it is still in pristine condition and beautiful. I am a very average golfer, so the moderate difficulty is perfect for me. We had a great time!

A beautiful course in Palm Desert

I first played here in 1986 when I had a convention at the Desert Springs Marriott. It was an eye opening golf course at that time. I went there few more times from the 80s to 90s. Since there were so many new golf courses built in P/S area, I did not play Desert Spring for 20 years. It was a surprise that this place was still the top course in P/S area, my friend and I enjoyed it very much. It was one of the best public golf courses in the desert. It was a long drive from LA, but the it as a great experience.

A fun and challenging course in great condition

This was my 4th visit, but the first time playing the Palm Coarse. The staff, as always was extremely attentive and friendly, and the Coarse is in top notch condition. Always a good experience here.
