Perfect day

It was a beautiful day and there were very few people on the course. We finished in three and one half hours. We thought course was great.

Fun course.

Fun course to play. Course just opened up from

The over seed. Fairways and rough were lush and green. But the greens were still spongy and slow. Course wasn’t too challenging. Fair course with pretty features. Little pricey but overall enjoyed it. Only saw the beverage girl once, that was kind of a bummer. Pace of play was great. Played as a 3 sum and finished in 3:45.

Too expensive

No one at bag drop. Very poor set up of pro shop location and cart area and starter. Poor signage- charged way too much compared to other options near by

Great golf course

First time playing this course. It was in very good shape. Pace was a slow (4h45min). Layout is beautiful. Course is challenging but fair. Greens were very slow. Many tees were on uneven ground. Would play here again.

Good solid course...

First time to play at this property (normally play courses in La Quinta). Good solid course, friendly staff and amenities are great! Overall the course was in good shape for September, although there were a couple of rough spots. Will definitely play here again.

Palm desert Marriott palms

I’m a 15 handicap, made a big mistake and played the blue tees. Yardage doesn’t reflect the difficulty of the elevated greens. An extra club or more required on approach shots. Several holes with hidden water from tee. Check the gps frequently! Score.card didn’t have a course layout. Needed signs for next tee box in a few areas. Play the white tee next time.

Great track. Slow pace of play

As the title says. Played a little later in the day and pace of play was aweful. Had 4 jokers in front of us who didn’t seem to care if they got their round in. Absolutely not the courses fault but be warned that being a resort course my bring out the riff raff.
