great Course

I've played this course many time over the years and it always is in great condition. Pace of play was only slow because of the players in my group. Can't wait to get another tee time.

Overseeding

Always enjoy playing the course, but hard to hit the ball with no or very little grass. Can’t wait for the overseeding to be done.

Starter has everything under control. Tee time was 6:50 AM, pace of play was three hours, it was great. Mr Grumpy in the pro shop, but don’t let him bother you. Each green on the legends course is raised. This course is 1959 and was the first in Palm Springs. Played with couple locals who were cool. The other course, the Resort, looked good too.

Slow play

We like the course, but the play was so slow. We waited a group or two on every hole. One of our group quit at 9. We quit at 16.

First Time Playing

Very Poor Shape

This is the first time in Palm Springs for us. A friend said not to play here but it was close and we hadn’t swung a club for a few weeks. It is very very poor shape unfortunately. It’s wide open and would be a fun course to play but the fairways and greens aren’t only dry but in rough shape. Plus the cost is far too high for a course of this calibre.

Rip off with course conditions and unfriendly staff. Especially starters.

The course is not in good shape for $120 per round. Got blasted with a sprinkler that went off right into our cart and drenched us. Talked to the staff and they didn’t give two craps about us. Won’t be back!!

terrible condition

1. no driving range available, overseeding. putting green is anything but a putting green, can't practice puts at all.

2. fairways terrible condition

3. greens terrible condition, previous hole location badly refilled, some green very fast others slow. weeds.

4. bunkers to be dropped out because ? redone, barely playable

5. poor pace as they had a scramble competition.

6. club house closes at 2pm no food no drinks. got "asked to leave" after one quick drink by passing the loud vacuum cleaner... nice.

definitely DO NOT recommend to go play there.
