Playable and challenging

I played the players course at Indian Wells golf resort, It’s the first time I’ve played it since the remodel. It’s really great. You can find your ball. Hit it at the target but still be challenged with Fast greens and elevation changes.

Don’t miss it. It’s a lot of fun.

Pleasantly pleased

I always look forward to Memorial Day Golf ⛳️. This was my second favorite course behind Desert Willow. JW Marriot was disappointing! The Celebrity Course was in excellent condition but the greens were dried and ugly. Food was good. Would definitely recommend to my friends.

Course is in rough shape

I think this course would be really fun under different circumstances. We played in late May and the greens were horrible.

Course not really fun holes and beautiful scenery. Not super challenging, but very fun.

Fairways could be better

Conditions of greens are good, but actual Fairways are in bad condition

Solid Upscale Course

Played here very recently and the course is very nice. My favorite part was the amenities and facilities around the course. Great practice area with multiple undulating practice putting greens. Big chipping area and a nice range. Plenty of food and beverage options. My only minor complaints were that the greens had some bare patches and there is terrible dust in the area of Palm Springs right now (not the courses fault obviously). Aside from that, this is a good course I enjoyed playing.

Disappointed

Greens had no grass on them

Not given any notice ahead of playing how poor the greens were

Staff just said sorry

Starter was not at all friendly

Seems like everyone just didn’t want to be there

Disappointing Greens

The course needs to let you know up front how bad the Greens are!!

Also not worth the $$$ with the greens being unplayable

Disappointing

boring

the course was in good shape, Fairway and Greens were in best condition.

But: 18 Holes straight with not corve: that’s no fun for golfing. All Green has a constance skew, no ondulation . So boring!

Very nice course and excellent staff

First time playing this course and I was pleasantly impressed with it. Very scenic holes and great layout.

The staff was super friendly and helpful.

The greens were pretty good even thought they were a little dry and patchy. Typical for this time of year. All in all, a wonderful time and look forward to playing it again.

Hate the pre paid

The pre pay is really a pain, as the planner you need to get the other players to pay you back.. not that easy and awkward.. I will not be playing here again because of that.. too many other courses in Palm Springs that make it easy.. too bad I liked the course..
