Tahquitz resort course

First time playing here. Very enjoyable round. Very well laid out course with all types of holes some

Beautiful signature holes. Challenging but also forgivable caters to all. Good overall conditions other than the range which needs work as all hitting areas are solid dirt and uneven lies but still a place to practice before your round so small issue. Overall nice course and played in exactly 4 hours!

Great twilight round

Play the Mountain View course, course is in great condition. Greens were pretty tricky and they had the pins in the Sunday positions. They were rolling quite tough.

How to blast the course is always top notch got a great rate teed off at 3:15 finished right at seven in the dark on 18 I’ll be back again.

Mountain View was great fire cliff is even better from my past experiences but much harder

Starter was a lier

On the 1st tee no one was around to start us. On hole 4 a staff member rolled up to us and said we were getting behind the group in front of us and we needed to speed up. We told him that we had never seen the group in front of us. He said he that couldn’t be true because he had started all groups back to back. Lie. After he left we checked our time and we were actually a hole ahead.

Beautiful course and great conditions

I played the celebrity course. The conditions were great. The greens ran true. The fairways were immaculate. The tee boxes were great. The scenery was beautiful. A little pricey, but a great round.

All of the grass is dead

Half of the fairways are dead, as is most of the rough. They are doing work on the course and apparently applied some treatment to the grass that killed it. It was like playing in concrete for most of the holes. There were multiple groups taking forever on the greens lining up puts like they were playing on Sunday at Augusta. Left after 11 holes when it was going to be a 5 hour round. It’s clearly a nice course with a good layout, but the conditions are awful right now and due to that they aren’t enforcing pace of play.

Course was great, but the range…

The condition of all components of the Resort 18 holes were all great. But the driving range was a mess (basically dirt, no grass)

Great experience for our first golf outing in Palm Springs

Thought it was a great starting experience for two duffers who had not played since the fall. Reasonable price, great service, course was fun to play and paired with some friendly players made a place we plan to play again upon return.
