Not a good value for money

Driving range was closed until Noon! Starters were not very friendly. Carts were very old. Kept running into bikers on the course, etc. I found much better courses to play in the area for the same amount of money or less

Fairways a little thin

The course was ok. It played like an older course. The forward tees for my wife were a little long. Generally, she would get more distance between the back tees and the front tees. The fairways seemed beat down and were on the thin side. We did play in January and maybe that's normal. We did play other courses in the valley that were not that way. Overall it was just OK.

Great staff, OK course

The Legend course was in decent shape and not too busy, so we were able to play18 in 3 hrs. It has a few awkward holes, and couple interesting ones, but it costs less to play than the much better and more interesting Resort Course, making it a good value. Would play again.

The staff is always helpful and friendly.

Very good value

The course, fairways and greens, are in very good condition. Only problem is with the bunkers which are in poor condition - not maintained. Stay out of the bunkers, and you will have a great experience.

Turned out better than I thought

With my wife as a ride-along we headed for the 1st tee and the starter said "would you rather play the Resort course?" We were only a single so he could make the offer, I jumped on it. Course was in very decent shape. The greens looked a bit scabby but they held a nice line and ran about 10-11. Around the 5th hole we joined the twosome from behind us and the guys were a lot of fun. Two days later I played the Desert Springs Palm course for $178 and it was a far better deal.

Course in very good condition except for bunkers which are not being maintained well. Still a very good value for the Palm Springs area, just stay out of the bunkers. Ha!

Nice course but greens were a bit rough

Bag drop off was very poor and reception at the course poor. Waited in Pro shop far too long to register. Had to flag someone down to advise our bags were sitting in drop off area. Not great customer service to start the day. Once we got on the course it was fine but green conditions weren’t great

Very good value

The course was in very good condition. Pace of play was quite good. It was rather windy and cold, but still a very good value for the Palm Springs area.

Fast greens

Very pretty and playable course. Only complaint was that the greens are rock hard trampolines. I understand they replaced them and they’ll remain hard for another year or so until they can punch them.
