Not up to par

Fairways were spotty maybe due to early Feb date but have played in years past when fairways were in good shape. One hole closed so had the next hole made into Two par three’s so had to guess at yardage. They are doing a major overhaul of traps leaving much to be desired if you hit into one not completed, shallow, grass filled and hard to get into and out of. It’s a nice track when it’s in shape.

Nice course but…

The course is a nice layout with some nice views. However, it was not in great shape. I appreciate that they didn’t overseed every square foot of the course but the areas that were overseeded were not in great shape with lots of bare spots. The greens were in good condition. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price.

Hole under repair?

All courses in the coachella valley do renovations during the summer when very few golfers are playing. This course has decided to start renovations on the bunkers at the peak of golf season. With one hole always closed and some other par 4 converted into 2 par 3's with a bad temporary green in the middle of the fairway. After paying top dollar to book your round you are not told of this until the starter sends you to the 1st hole. This is a 17 hole course.

February 12

Unfortunately, the fairway conditions were questionable as the overseed had not taken root. There were many bare spots and very few fully grassy areas.

Green conditions on the other hand were good.

Not worth the money

Hole 4 was closed and they made hole 5 into two par 3’s without letting us know. One hole was just a pin in fairway. No beverage cart. Not impressed for how much we paid .

Avoid Windy Days

Front 9 was excellent....Great conditions. Back 9 not so lucky as the wind kicked up to 20 to 30 mph.
Cold plus wind equals misery....
The course in general is,a fantastic track. It's in fantastic shape so enjoy it on non windy days if you can.

Horrible Conditions

The fairways, tee boxes and the rough were all disasters. The fourth hole was closed with a crappy “solution” at 5 as 2 par threes. Should have taken par+ on 4 and played 5 as a par 5 like intended.

They clearly have not spent anytime on conditioning for this course. Needs to be closed, reconditioned, and reopened.

Not worth $84. $40 maybe.

Stay away even at the lesser price than other courses. It’s not worth the frustration.

Course poorly maintained with patchy grass, lots of dirt. Fourth hole closed for repair with no forewarning. Next hole, a par 5, divided in two with a temporary green
All told, a disappointing experience which will not be repeated.

Poor communication and unfair pricing

When we checked in we were not told that 2 holes were under repair. Poorly marked Par 5 that was made into 2 holes with no real green to putt on. We also were not given price discount that our playing partners were given. So they payed only $75 per person. How can this be legit? Just makes you mad! Course maintenance needs lots of work with very thin fairways. Greens were good.

Terrible fairways, great greens

Love the layout, greens rolled beautifully but the course looks like a mangy animal with pockets of fur missing. Fairways seeding did not catch well so the entire course is patchy. Paying anything over $70 is highway robbery.
