The resort course is much nicer than the Legenda course. I enjoyed my round and was surprised by the conditions. Bunkers need work.

Great Value

Other reasonably priced courses in the Coachella Valley have poor conditions. Tahquitz is much better. Both courses are challenging, especially as they are very differently designed.

Too much wind

With wind gusting at over 50 mph, the course should have been closed. We played through as we couldn't get a refund.

I'd play the course again under better weather conditions.

Gorgeous & challenging course!

This is our 7th season being snow birds January through March in Palm Desert and the Desert Willow Firecliff Course is still a favorite. The Mountain Course is also amazing! Both courses are prestigious, the views are amazing and the staff is top notch! We also enjoy sitting on their patio for cocktails and a meal any time of the day whether golfing or not!

Not that great!

Terrible practice range (very little grass, uneven tee boxes); lots of debris on the course from high winds with little evidence of anyone cleaning it up. Sand traps full of stones and dirt. Fairways were in good shape. Greens average

Poor experience

Disappointed with overall experience. I asked the employee in pro shop how the course was and he said tv condition. Not the case at all. Greens covered in debris. Debris all over. Debris all over the fairways. Homeless people walking in rough. Police officers monitoring encampments along edge of course. Traps not raked. No halfway house at 10. No yardage markers anywhere except 150s. Practice range trashed. Hitting off dirt. Bikers and walkers walking along fairway paths. Air traffic very noisy. This course was 170 cdn. Way over priced. This is not a 170 cdn course. Not even close. $75 course. Don’t bother not worth it.

The south end of PS doesn’t get the windy conditions that the north end does so to be fair, when it does it means it’s been a storm- that week had particularly windy conditions that continued for several days and many of the golf courses struggled to keep up. The course is back to normal as far as wind clearing. But this happens. The Resort course is gorgeous and was plagued with homeless for several months- as of this week (March 10) there was a cleanup effort that was longtime in the making and what you saw was the last of them being offered services before being removed from the location. The cleanup is underway and no one has worked harder in this effort than our local PSPD and the surrounding communities which have worked tirelessly to do it in the most humane way possible. By the time people visit they will have been moved to the newly opened shelter. We respect the groundskeepers and I am a local who likes to hit balls and I agree that the range could use some upgrades to the turf. However it’s meant to be a 5 minute warmup and many courses don’t even have them anymore- you have to hit into a net. I’ve also spoken to them about the holes in the grass from the golfers who haven’t used the grass seed in their carts after their shots- they wil be making rounds to fill in with seed in the rough.

Good value

Good course, greens rolled true, some of the pin placements were questionable on semi steep greens.
