Great Course and Great Staff

I played the Mountain View Course on this day. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was roughly 3:40. The greens were a little long but the speed was good and they rolled true. Good balance of beautiful views and challenging golf. I had a little trouble reading the break on the greens, so that was part of thw challenge. The fairways appear narrow but they a pretty forgiving. With a little wind, the course played longer than it looked/measured.

Good conditions overall, greens still settling in, great scenery, good value, recommend.

Good conditions overall, greens still settling in, great scenery, good value, recommend. Great practice facilities, helpful staff, great restaurant/bar, recommend both courses. Fairways, rough and bunkers were excellent. I think they replaced the greens on both courses with a different type of grass and it's still settling in. Very firm surface but super slow pace. The green texture was like cow-licks and very frustrating surface to putt on, with very inconsistent stimp speeds. It was like putting with patches of velcro all over the green where the ball would be on line to the hole and screech to a halt around the cup. I'll be back after everything settles in.

Good shape for summer time

Wide open course in good shape for summer, be sure to stay in the fairways and out of the native area. The rolling hills and valleys and uneven lies make it very challenging if you don't.

Legend Course

Played the Legend Course. Greens are in beautiful condition. Other than some holes where you had to navigate around the geese poop. One complaint is that there is no water on the course. Even though we brought our own, we needed more because of the heat. Overall though good experience.

Beautiful & Affordable

I arrived in Southern California three weeks ago. I knew that Palm Springs offered a lot of different golf courses to choose from and I found that this golf course had everything that I required. The resort course is beautiful and is both challenging and exhilarating to play. The legends course, in my opinion, is somewhat more challenging to play due to the tightness of some of the holes. However, both courses are truly exceptional and fun to play. I look forward to bringing many of my friends to play.

2.5 Hour Round

Hot temperatures discourage play resulting in fast paced round. Welcoming staff, no bells & whistles offered anywhere. Straight forward layout with minimal hazards. Slower paced greens with little undulation. I’d consider this course the lower end of Palm Springs golf offerings.

Great first time

Was first group off as a foursome, played in 3.5 hours. Course was in excellent condition, considering the harsh summers here. Greens were a little slow, but thats to be expected this time of year. Very nice and welcoming staff. This place does it right.

Lovely Course

Played on a 100+ degree afternoon in August so had this well ‘maintained course to myself; thoroughly enjoyable. Well designed course with variety of challenges. Water and restroom facilities thoughtfully planned mid-round. Very helpful and friendly staff in golf shop and cart barn.

This is one heck of a golf course. It's rrlativrly wide ope . Some of the most beautiful views I've ever seen on a golf course. Especially early in the morning when the shadows and the Hills and the trees. The greens are in great shape.
