Nice Day Out

Played on 2/10/24. Fairways in great shape. Greens fair. 2-3 really picturesque holes. Grass driving has no grass left where stalls were set up. Friendly staff. Course layout is out and back so no chance for food at the turn. Large population of homeless camping in adjacent desert so on course bathrooms are locked up. Some holes adjacent to public walking path. On site restaurant is casual but food was good. No GPS in carts. Some holes had surprise water hazards that weren't visible. Good pace of play.

Long course

Great conditions greens and fairways good layout with interesting holes I was playing pretty well but not scoring then I read on scorecard the yardage 6200 for senior tees. I think shortest par 3 was 175 yards. I will return but need to play from reds or adjust par in my head

Walked

No Pull Cart Rentals As Advertised

The course summary says that this course has pull-carts rentals available for walkers but when we checked in they said they don't have them, plus the walking rate is the same price as the riding cart rate. They did allow us to walk. Course staff, conditions, layout all were fine but to lug our bags when we thought we'd be able to rent pull carts was disappointing. Still, I would play here again when in Palm Springs and recommend to others.

Timing

If they are going to offer later tee times they need to keep the rest rooms open until guests are done. They did reluctantly open them for us but pretty grouchy about it.

Not in as good of shape as in past years.

Beautiful scenery. Course condition isn’t as good as in past years. The driving range hitting area is in awful condition. It used to be one of the most reasonably priced courses but no longer. We used to play it several times on a trip. Once is enough now.

Good Value

This course, for the price in the Palm Springs area, is a great value. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition.
