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.

Taquitz creek

Greens were pretty dry. Fee greens were flat., Plenty of green fairways. Play was a bit slow. Suggest more time between tee off.

Palm Springs proper

Good course. Pace okay for Saturday morning. Range and practice not that great. Right in the heart of Palm Springs proper. We were concerned on the homeless but not many visible issues as we've heard from the past reviews. Overall, we were quite happy.

Canuck in the Desert

Great place to golf.

Tough but fair. Paired with a couple of regulars which really helped with strategy.

Played early afternoon and just made it in before it became too dark.
