Twilight Golf

Played on a twilight rate and had a great experience. Pro shop staff were great and we all had a good warm-up on the practice range. Course was in great shape except for the greens being a bit slow with the recent over seeding. The layout is really good and pleasing to the eye on almost every hole.

We played 14 holes and then called it a day.

Expensive

We played in the PM for a better rate. Nice course but not worth all that cash. Other courses are better value.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course with only construction of a water-park (or something else?) taking away from ambiance. However, overall still a very nice course. Rental clubs were new. Nice practice range setup. Hard to find a negative about this course. I will play here again in the future. Perfect weather conditions on the day I played (sunny with temperatures 59-72 and a 5 mph wind!).

Stunning course, need better updates on website for conditions

Super stunning course with some of the purest greens I’ve ever played on

My only “beef” is that the front 9 they had constant maintenance occurring and running across the fairways/greens/bunkers and we had a mid day tee time. the driving range was also closed even though website showed it was open and normally green fees include free range balls and they had a gorgeous range that you can see.

We paid full green fees so that’s only crappy part. Otherwise definitely an immaculate course I’d want to play again!

Great Course!!!

Awesome day, but only got through 13 holes. Started at 3:10. Pace of play could have been faster, but other than that everything else was awesome. Will be coming back in a few days (earlier time slot). Can’t beat the view as well!!!

Disappointed

The course layout is good but the greens were very slow and bumpy. The pace of play was slow and there weren’t any marshalls monitoring the pace

The Mountain View course was in excellent condition. It is always one of the best kept courses in the Coachella Valley.

Amazing course.
