Good course, slow play

Loved the course layout; fair but you had to pick your spots. Course in good condition, but could have used a little more watering. Lots of ball marks on greens where rude golfers didn’t repair.

So slow; 3 hours to play 12 holes. Had to finish in the dark with the sprinklers on.

Very friendly staff, but courses (2) get too much play. Over 400 golfers per day on the two courses.

Fun course, and would play again if you can guarantee under 4 hours to finish, not 4:45 hours

Best in the Valley for the Money

The Resort Course is Always in great shape. The views are outstanding. The layout is excellent and the course couldn't be in better shape. I have 1 complaint. The driving range is always in terrible condition. No Grass

Back 9 More Challenging

The course was fair and challenging from the tips. I enjoyed the round and found the back nine to be very challenging from the Tips. Add the wind and it was very enjoyable. I would definitely play again.

Great Conditions

Course was in wonderful shape. Some funky holes and some really pretty and challenging holes. Dirty cart and grumpy starter were the only downsides to the experience. Oh and the sewer smell from the neighboring treatment plant. But that said I would go back.

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.
