Punched & dry

Tahquitz is notorious for foot prints in the bunkers. I think that the golfer is here we’re not type the correct etiquette of the Golf procedures raking a bunker is one of them and I don’t believe the staff cares either a fun course but it needs to be watered badly!!!

Great layout. Course was in good shape except for the greens. Greens were in bad shape due to summer weather.

Desert Willow Mountain

General course condition is good, but greens are horrible right now. I wouldn’t recommend playing it right now.

Course in good shape but greens are little bumpy

Staff very friendly and very up front about the condition of the greens. Greens still in process of transforming from bent to bermuda grass. They expect the greens to be back to normal after a few more days of high heat. Firecliff course is under major renovation and this sister course is a great layout.

Take your Bunkers!

A great course to play ! Locals don’t rake the bunkers or fill there divots on the tee box, ( I filled 32 on# 14) if you don’t mind hitting out of a heel in a trap, this course is for you !

First round here

First time playing this course. Staff was very friendly and pace of play was great. Conditions were very good for current weather. Only issue was no water jugs through 18, which would be nice since you don’t return back to the clubhouse after 9. Definitely will play again and recommend it.

Great to get out for a round

Friendly service. Great staff where ever we came in contact with.

It was a 100 degree day with a slight breeze. Perfect.

Went out as a twosome and a single joined us for the back nine. No one in front of us no one behind us. Pace of play perfect.

Fairways and rough good conditions.

Greens a little patchy, but true putting lines. Speed of greens a little hard to judge. Some were quick. Some you had to really plow through. Greens very close cut.

Great time on a hometown course.

Value for money

My first time in Palm Springs and this was my first round of golf . The course is a good layout . No water taps on the course at all and don’t see the cart girl till the end of my round . Pace of play was very quick as it was the best of the day so it was empty pretty much . A few bare patches here and then but that’s due to heat . The food in the clubhouse after is exceptional and cheap . Over all I would go back for sure

Rake your footprints!

The course is in decent shape, but there are several problem areas that are not marked offices problem areas, the locals don’t rake the bunkers, but otherwise it was a great time!
