Beautiful Course

Beautiful course with only construction of a water-park (or something else?) taking away from ambiance. However, overall still a very nice course. Rental clubs were new. Nice practice range setup. Hard to find a negative about this course. I will play here again in the future. Perfect weather conditions on the day I played (sunny with temperatures 59-72 and a 5 mph wind!).

Just finished Over Seed

Greens were very slow and bumpy. I’m sure it plays better under normal conditions.

Surprisingly slow greens

Water hazards are in play at a number of holes. Sometimes not easy to spot. Greens are true but slower than usual in this area. Barely finished our round before darkness. Crowded course on a Saturday, but no marshal taking care of speed of play.

Good value for October

The course was in ok shape. Tee boxes were a bit beat up, fairways were in ok conditions, however greens were very slow and bumpy. The grass driving range was in great shape.

This wasn’t my first pick of courses however choices are very limited in the Coachella valley in October as a lot of the nicer courses are being over seeded.

Overall, it’s good value for the money for a basic muni. I’d play again.

Stunning course, need better updates on website for conditions

Super stunning course with some of the purest greens I’ve ever played on

My only “beef” is that the front 9 they had constant maintenance occurring and running across the fairways/greens/bunkers and we had a mid day tee time. the driving range was also closed even though website showed it was open and normally green fees include free range balls and they had a gorgeous range that you can see.

We paid full green fees so that’s only crappy part. Otherwise definitely an immaculate course I’d want to play again!

Overall, nice course

Staff were terrific! Layout is pretty flat. Greens were tough to judge speed, but rolled smoothly. Would have rated it higher but the bunkers are abysmal. No sand. Packed dirt? Ridiculous. For the price we were charged, not a good value.
