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!

Inconsistant greens.

The practice green was a 30 on the stip meter (Trying ti make a point). The first green was a 10. Then the second green was back to a 30 and so on. Not funny. See ya.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Perfect Morning

Got to play solo. Played through 2 super nice groups. Weather was warm and slightly breezy. Saw the bevy cart at least twice through my round, and I the course had a great mix of desert and greenery. Not a ton of opportunity for OB so that's why I say fairly easy. Good amount of shade as well. I would love to come back w/ friends.

Oh, Water fountains weren't working but they have a $4 for 4 Bottles of water deal to make up for it.

Great staff and course

Awesome staff . Very good condition considering early June . Apparently Celebrity course has several greens in very bad shape . Players greens in good condition in general. Only bad experience is we never saw a refreshment cart the entire day . At 106 degrees a beer or 2 would have been nice .

HORRIBLE GREENS

I play golf very frequently and I understand the concept of fixing and replacing greens, fairways, etc. I have NEVER played a course with worse greens that are truthfully unplayable. I don’t understand how a course would let players know the conditions prior to booking a tee time. Absolute waste of money. They should just close until they are playable. DO NOT PLAY HERE UNTIL THEY ARE FIXED

HORRIBLE

The greens are absolute TORCHED, do not play here until they are fixed. Absolute waste of money. Wish places would tell you the conditions of their course before you book a tee time.

Very nice and clean

Good everywhere except the flag greens was more dirt then grass on most holes because of the re-construction they are doing rite now on the putting greens, overall great course though! Hope to go back and achieve a lower score next time.

Good Condition

Greens were good, condition was good overall. The course is pretty bland in terms of lay out. Not a lot of challenges but not bad for a quick round.

Greens have little grass and a bit bumpy.

Orher than the greens being a bit under par we are getting into the summer so I guess it is what it is. You will chip with your sandwedge mostly because the greens are very fast. I like this course otherwise.

Pete Dye at his worst

The good: the staff were friendly and the course conditions were fine.

The bad: Everything else. Pace of play was horrific. We had a 5.5 hour round.

I would highly recommend PGA West actually disassociate themselves from the Pete Dye name as soon as possible. Seriously, start by bringing in a bulldozer and getting rid of all his false front greens and “sand rivers” that make no sense whatsoever and are completely punitive. This isn’t a fun and challenging course where shot selection and risk/reward comes into play, this is a self-inflated ego that enjoys punishing you for putting your shot on the green by making sure there everything is guaranteed to roll off no matter how well you hit it.

Skip this course and find a better way to waste your time with less frustration.
