Toooo slow

Started as a beautiful round that went severely down hill after the 10th hole. A foursome in front of two foursomes ahead of ours were so slow they held everyone up from the 11th hole onward. Unfortunately, being NY Eve the staff marshaling the course were gone so no way to pick up the pace - quit after 16 as it was getting dark- when we came upon the foursome as they finished 18 they stood around and chatted not giving a care about the foursome trying to hit their approach shots on to the green. Some people have no consideration for others - sad.

Wow!

Absolutely beautiful course. Every hole could be a page in a golf calendar. Tee options were perfect for my level of play. Lots of bunkers to keep your attention. Cascading creeks and pools make for amazing beauty. Staff and marshals are friendly and welcoming. Only downside was that the grass on the greens wasn’t “prefect,” but still way better than most other courses. I highly recommend this course.

Beautiful and challenging

I loved playing this course. Lots of sets of tees perfectly set for a wide range of handicaps. Greens were sloppy and fun. GPS in the carts was very helpful. Staff was super friendly (yes even in the clubhouse!!), especially the starter and the course marshal. Snack cart lady made an amazing Bloody Mary, so I had 2. Only issue was that the grass on the greens was a little thin, like maybe they just did a verticut and top dress. They were still very smooth and fast, but just not “perfect.” Overall I had a wonderful experience.

Absolutely the worst golf course in Palm Springs

I had a late tee time at 1:30 pm, so I already expected not to finish. But, the slow play and terrible course conditions, made for a very long, long 11 holes in 4 hours!! The course is short, not championship at all, with a nice layout for the space, but the tee boxes were in bad shape with lots of patches of sod. The greens were also awful. They apparently punched them 5 weeks ago but they were still not rolling true at all.

I paid about $70 with a cart and it was still a terrible value for the poor conditions. Save your money, and your sanity, and play elsewhere!!

Overrated

We played the Legends. Uninteresting layout, boring straight back and forth layout . 4 holes are played over a wash area. Decent conditions but uninteresting and over priced in comparison to other courses we played
