GPS could provide more information, especially distances to bunkers and water hazards.

Nice course. Terrible maintenance. Horrible greens. No Marshall.

Never will play here again. Resort course pricing. Bunkers have no sand. Greene are stupid slow. Pin placement make no sense for pace of play. No Marshall. Group ahead of us was 2 holes behind.

Humps and bumps

Humps and strange lies everywhere. No doglegs. But any ball short of the greens often led to funky side hill lies on these humps and with strange grippy grass. So our chipping / putting was awful. The greens were very very slow but also hard enough that they wouldn’t hold even a lob wedge.

Horrible customer service

Golf itself was good. Hardly anyone playing.

My review is mainly based on their customer service.

Booked round through golf now. When I arrived they could not find reservation and charged me again..They wanted to charge me triple what I paid through golf now..

Horrible customer service at pro shop.!!

There are a lot of courses to choose from in the Palm Springs area. Will not be returning to this one any time soon.
