Overpriced by an exorbitant amount

Booked a round during a trip to see my in-laws. Hundred dollars prepaid for a course that is a $35 Muni, I feel swindled.

Experienced players only

Tahquitz has long reliable par threes, fours, and fives. To score below 100, you must be able to get off the tees 200+ yards consistently or it will take too many shots, and too much walking, to complete a summer round in a timely manner compounding the heat issue in summer. Not for beginners, or players that can't hit a drive 200 yards.

No water

The course plays like a city course. Odd layout over a wash. No water on the course to drink. Bring your own.

Nice challenging course

Very nice course, Excellent staff great on course follow up for hydration. Greens super hard and fast. Fairways in great condition. Well worth the expense based on the service alone. Will play again when back out to the resort.

Disappointed

The course layout is good but the greens were very slow and bumpy. The pace of play was slow and there weren’t any marshalls monitoring the pace
