good layout

well designed course and excellent facilities - the only sight negative is speed of play, but we were unlucky to get caught behind 4 guys who should find another sport because they have no hope of breaking 100 at golf. Drones should be employed to fly the course and do a better job of keeping the field moving.

Nice

I’ve played this course 50 times over the years. It’s challenging, long and always in great condition. Lots of homes on the course, but it’s old school Palm Springs and for 70.00 there is not anything else that compares. You can play 250-300.00 at a lot of places, but for a nice 4 hour quiet round, this is really nice

Good course

This is a good course because it has some design to it, water, sand and longer and shoeter holes. I would say #17 is the signature hole for the course, par 3. Only issue, it need more water for drinkung on the course. There was only 3 spots to geab water on the resort course.

Old Style Course

The course has wide fairways and all in all was in decent shape. The greens were fast and tricky with their pin placements. Overall we had a good day.

All good, had fun, course was in good shape.

Only negative was that we didn’t see the beverage cart until the 17th hole; and it was a VERY HOT day.

A Desert Oasis-Perfection

Wonderful course and wonderful practice area. Very similar to Shadow Ridge with undulating fairways and challenging greens. A lot of Sand that demands careful shot planning. Today the course won, but I’ll be back…….
