Pleasantly surprised at updates and course conditions.

Played both Resort and Ledgend courses several years ago. Played Ledgend course yesterday and will definitely be back. Layout and course conditions are great. A challenging and fun course to play . Greens are challenging but fair. Variety of holes keeps it interesting.

Not worth the $150

Disappointed with the conditions at this track for $150! The rough was not cut the greens are thin and the overall conditions are not up to par.

The staff acted like they didnt want to be there!

Won’t be back to play this one again!

Eagle Falls GC is a spectacular course for $145!

Airplanes

Warm up round for our 14 days in the desert, course was run of the mill, fairways were soft and greens bumpy, planes landing at the nearby airport are annoying.

Desert Willow is a Gem!!

Highly recommend both Mountainview and Firecliff! Our group from Minnesota really enjoyed both courses the last week of January! They were in great shape (the driving range was a little beat up) and we loved the practice area, pro shop and lunch on the patio!

Big Disappointment for Our Group

We brought a group from Minnesota and played seven days in greater Palm Springs. We played the Indian Wells Players Course on January 29th, it was the worst and most expensive. The driving range is hitting off matts not grass. The course was under repair and we were carts path only on 8 of the 18 holes resulting in lots of walking. The pace of play was slow. We only saw the Cart girl twice and she was very unengaging. The greens and fairways were in poor shape. The staff in pro shop and around course were old (our group was 50-75) and the least customer engaged of any course, they were talking amongst themselves and could care less about us. The course is not on any of our apps (Arccos and Golf watches). The course said yes we didn't share our updates your devices won't work!!! Save your money there are much better courses than this course.

Highly Recommend

Played as a single and my wife rode along. Got paired up with three others. Course is fun, challenging and in excellent shape. Played at a good pace until around 14 and then ran into a slow foursome. Just managed to finish before it got dark.

Legends Course

First off, the range is easily in the top 3 worst I’ve seen in 40 plus years playing. Zero grass where spots were set up. Don’t waste your money.

Course is tight throughout with house framing all the holes. One par three is 12 yards from the fringe to a busy highway. That will make you grip it tight lol.

The resort side is supposed to be nicer so If skip the legends all together.

The plus. Staff were great.
