Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage

The course could use a senior tee option between the whites and the ladies tee.

The course layout was very fun. Some really good and interesting holes. The greens were just OK. The place didn't seem well-kept, which was surprising given how well-known the course is. Seems like management has fallen asleep at the wheel a bit.

Not your typical resort course. Besides a few pock marked greens, mainly in great shape. We played a foursome in four hours.

Overall the course was in good shape with the exception of the greens, they were very slow and a little bumpy.

Well maintained course but several problems :

1. Very poor signage - easy to get lost

2. Starters don’t know what the other starters are doing - or even if they are there!

3.They will help you with your clubs to start BUT not at the finish line- I had to carry my own clubs up a car ramp to get to the parking lot

4. No elevators

5. Very little water filling stations on the course - and this is in the DESERT ,

6. Very few bathrooms on course.

7. Very little shade

We got placed behind an elderly couple and had to wait 5 minutes for each shot. They were not willing to let myself and my wife to play through. There was 3 open holes ahead of them and no ranger out to get them speeded up! Took us 3 hrs to play the back nine.

I’ve been playing this course for over 30 years and this is the worst condition I’ve ever seen it. It’s shabby and unkept.

The Palms Course at Desert Springs is truly beautiful and exceptionally maintained. We found the course quite challenging for the average senior golfer but the setting was spectacular. The staff here is very friendly and the service is fabulous. We would highly recommend this course!

Too pricey in the morning. Don’t drop until afternoon.

Great time, great course. Always enjoy our time here. Don’t ageee with high prices to use driving range per person. Seems ridiculous when playing for 2 days with 5 people. $10/person is plenty. $30/person is a gouge!!
