Desert Dunes Golf Course

It was a beautiful experience. I had a lot of fun with my girlfriend. Thank you!

Interesting layout but they have let this course go for the reminder of the season. Greens almost dead, dry and hard. Fairways are playable but dry as well.

I have played Robert Trent Jones courses before and appreciate his challenging and narrow fairways and tough greens.

I was disappointed in the condition of this fine course. The greens were full of weeds and unwanted grasses, the bunkers were dirt and hard as rocks.

There were glimpes of quality and creativity but just glimpes. It was fine for the price but I was hoping for better.

Overall condition of the the golf course is poor Greens are spotty and inconsistent Rough is either non existent or very long
Course needs a lot of TLC!!

Suivant les récents mauvais commentaires sur ce terrain, nous avons préféré réserver un tee time au Palm Desert CC. Nous ne voulions pas prendre de chance avec le Desert Dunes car première fois en Californie et nous avions 6 rondes de golf. Malgré que nous avons payé en double pour cette journée pour jouer au golf (pré-payé pour le desert dunes) nous avons été très satisfaits au Palm Desert CC.

Little bit of wind in the morning. It stopped after 7 holes. We Got lucky. Course conditions were not bad. One of the best layouts in the desert 🏜. Fun course when it's not blowing. Recommend downloading The Windy weather app.... it's usually about 85% dead on.

It was a five hour round! We waited to tee off and approach shot every hole. The young men ahead of us waited till the green was open and played the black tees even though their calibre of play was not championship. There wasn’t a course Marshall working even though we feel it was warranted. The group behind us was on our tail most of the game too!!

This course will always have high wind conditions because of its location . It is in horrible condition . We decided not to play the back nine due to heavy winds and not worth playing .
Sorry for the bad review but the website does not depict the course in reality .

This course has potential. but it is not well maintained. Greens are not in extremely bad shape making it almost impossible to putt...wobbly is the word for them.

Staff were uninformed. I told the man at the desk that I wanted to warm-up and he told me balls were at the driving range. There were no ball\s at the driving range. After 9, my husband asked where the washrooms were. Both the mens and ladies washrooms were locked. We should have been directed inside of the clubhouse. This was annoying at best.

Must have been taken over by a new owner or about to go under, guy in pro shop seemed out to lunch 🤷‍♂️no range balls at range, no starters? After 9 the person washing carts told us where washrooms were & they were locked??? Signs for help wanted…a little thing but in heat Big thing, no bottles of water provided, three other courses l played gave you a complementary water…traps unkept, greens had disease on them….the positive was the great layout, HUGE potential for someone with some deep pockets! And whole course needs water

My wife and I played. Just the two of us. A five hour round. Never again. There were no Marshals. One person at the pro shop and another at the sign in.

5 hours. No way.

Beautiful course in good condition but wind makes it unplayable for the average golfer. Tight fairways and if wind is sideways almost impossible to get near a fairway. 40 yards longer on every shot when wind in your face and this was on a fairly calm day. Too bad because course is great and challenging but built in the wrong place. I would play it again and hope for calmer winds.

Played this course a year ago and was shocked at how much this course has gone downhill. Would have rated it a 4 then and no better than a 2 now. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE ON A WINDY DAY. When we left Palm Desert, it was blowing 5-7mph. The wind at Desert Dunes was a steady 25mph with gusts to 45mph.

Greens were a challenge. Lots of poa in the greens seeding out causing bumpy putting surfaces. Wind adds to the difficulty for sure. The combo green on 9 & 18 could easily be separated to make them more playable when pins are in tough spots. Right side of 18 green when the pin is on the right is not very fair to the golfer.

Just don’t play here. Drive another 30 mins to oak valley or tukwet. A little cheaper and much better courses. Layout here is okay but the staff is terrible.
