Toller Golfplatz mit dem besten Personal

Der Platz ist wunderbar geschnitten, ist abwechslungsreich und bietet wunderbare Aussichten. Viele Bunker verteidigen die Grüns ohne unfair zu sein. Das größte war jedoch die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Bei unserem Missgeschick (Schlüssel im Auto, Auto zu…) organisierten sie Hilfe und blieben bei uns, bis 3h später tatsächlich Hilfe kam. Vielen Dank!

Great course.

I played here because it was one of the only decent courses open. I learned that most courses in Palm Springs close for overseeding and rehab during the early to mid fall. The mountain course had just reopened after overseeding. The fairways and rough was great. The greens were a bit slow as I assume they are going easy on them for a while after the over seed. Pace of play was great. A foursome went around in 4:15. Lots of staff to help you. I stayed and played the Firecliff course after. Not as good as the Mountain IMO, and it was in worse condition as they are about to close it for overseeding. Replay rate was only $65 and again we played in about 4:15-30. I’ know there are better courses in Palm Springs but this is excellent for the money and doesn’t feel like a muni to me at all.

Poor condition and service.

Course was in poor condition. The restaurant closed early and no driving range. Overpriced for what you are offering. We had a 4th that was not with our group. He had medical issue and needed a plastic barrier between seats. For $165 a round he should have been provided his own separate cart, no excuse for not doing that, just very poor customer service. Clearly you don’t care about the golfers needs.

I have played this course 3 times before and had a good experience. Very disappointed in the conditions and customer service, don’t think I would come back.

October golf

With so many courses over seeding right now, nice to have a course like DWGC open. Greens were a bit rough but overall great.

Amazing course and fairways in excellent condition. Nice touch to have water and ice stations all along the way to hydrate.

Firecliff is the one

Both courses here are great but Firecliff is a bit more challenging. Staff is friendly and welcoming and the practice area is top notch. Very good golf course and good value for this area.

Excellent design, with some units hint bunkers

Never played this time of year. Surprisingly good but not quite as good as it will be after overseeing
