Rake your Bunkers “!

A good course to play while you’re in Palm Springs, price and layout are great, the locals don’t rake their bunkers, also they can’t seem to figure out what the sand bottle in the cart is for?

not too shabby

conditions are nice here at taquitz on both courses. it's nice when there isn't so many people here. resort has been playing nice all summer. from tee box to green to the bunkers has been in good shape. course layout is tougher than you may think. water & bunkers all over the place. lots of approach shots may be blind. might wanna use a long iron/hybrid on some holes on the back for tee shots.

The course

The course was the best in many years. We have coming from the last 35 years on summer. The course can be a little bit bite up but not this year thank you so much to keeping so good this year

Resort course: Great layout and Views BUT....

I won't be back : The Resort course is next to a waste treatment plant and smells like sewer allot !!

There are so many flies and bugs I had trouble concentrating on anything except swatting at flies.

There is also an Equestrian place with horses which also contribute to the amount of bugs

Don't know why anyone would play this course after 1 round. Sad cause the layout and views are nice....

Great Course

Even in the summer, this course maintains a high quality product. Greens run at a good speed for the summer. Lot's of water stations available throughout the round. Pace of play was a little slow for first few holes but then picked up and we finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes. The ice cold towel 1/2 way through the round was so refreshing (it was 110 the day I played) and a sign of their top notch customer service. Anytime this course is less than $100, play it!

Spectacular

From bag drop, check in great.

Stater to marshal very helpful and informative.

Free range balls and a pager to let you know when to report back to the starter.

Pristine condition with a great layout.

You must choose your approach shots carefully as there many bunkers on the fairways and protecting the greens.

The greens are fast and deceiving.

Not a lot of breaks so lines are straight and fast.

Also water and ice on the course.

A marshal also delivered cold towels at valley points.

It was 95 degrees with a breeze and a bargain

at $ 67.00
