Great condition especially for summer

Had a great day playing Fire course…greens rolled true but a tad slower than they looked. Fairways and rough were butter. Great course I’ll be back again for sure.

Course is stressed.

This is a fun course to play. And of course you expect it to be hot in July in the desert. But a month plus of 115° days has taken a toll on some places on the course. However the course played well the greens are in good shape just a few areas in the fairways that are marginal.

Great course!

I really enjoyed playing this course. It was my first time, I had played the other course here a few years back. The course was well maintained and the greens rolled true. The yardage in the carts was as accurate as my laser device, nice touch.

The course is beautiful and in great shape. There were no groups in front or behind us. I’m an intermediate golfer and was teamed up with a group of much better golfers and felt rushed and uncomfortable from the time I arrived and didn’t play well. I don’t understand why the pro shop couldn’t have let me tee off a little later and have my own cart. There were few golfers on the course, so no reason for me to be required to fill a four some.

Excellent Course

Course was in great shape. No one in front or behind due to summer heat. Ice and water at every 4 or 5 holes. Wide fairways, lots of bunkers, and water. Challenging layout. We’ll worth the money.

Worth every cent!

Do yourself a favor and play this track! Challenging and well kept. Played when it was over 104 and they offered “mango scented ice towels” for the patrons! Just one of the many courses in palm desert worth putting on a must play list.
