Great value

This course has fairways and greens that are in very good condition. The price presents a very good value for the Palm Springs area

Overpriced

First I visited the range - it is by far the worst range quality of any course of this price level. So it gave a very poor start for my visit

I guess Sunday is busy day, but still some kind of control of the pace of play should be.

Staff very friendly and course condition good and the greens very good.

If the price was close to 100 dollars I would recommend but now list price for Resort course 172 - way too high.

Condition

Range:

Hitting off dirt, very little grass

Bunkers:

They were atrocious, very little sand with rocks in most of them.

Actual greens and fairways were very nice but the bunkers really lower the value of the course

good value

The course ended up being just fine, however the golf range, golf shop (and smell in the golf shop) were not indicative of the course itself. Very weird to have to pay for golf balls at the driving range.

One Staff Member ruined review

OMG. Never going to play Tahquitz again. I was at the counter, and a nice Asian man was helping me out and an older Caucasian man at the other register with a US open hat yelled at the top of his lungs at us to basically shut up. He never told any of the other people in front of me to be quiet and we were not talking loudly. But this guy was yelling at the top of his lungs for no reason other than he was on the phone. We were not talking loud at all. Just normal chatting as the Asian worker was helping me out like a professional employee. I stayed till he got off the phone to see if he would apologize but he just sat there and ignored me. I hope this message gets to the Head Pro or owner of this resort. I plan on giving you a call as well. But I've never been treated so poorly in my life. He was actually yelling at us. Thus, I doubt my buddies and I will be playing here again.

Waited on every shot, despite many signs saying pace of play is supposed to be four hours. Left after 15th hole two hours twenty minutes into our round. Completed unorganized before tee time. Terrible experience.

Great experience

Today 2.19.26, had the opportunity to come check out this facility & play the legends course. Arrived early before my tee time, the time slot that was ahead of me, never booked. Staff allowed me to play as a solo. Which was probably the best golf experience ive ever had. Very friendly group of workers from start to finish.

-Course conditions were great, compared to the conditions in my local area.

-Greens were fast, loved it.

i Don't really have anything bad to say, really enjoyed my time here.
