Legend at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort
Played On 03/08/2024Great Value
Other reasonably priced courses in the Coachella Valley have poor conditions. Tahquitz is much better. Both courses are challenging, especially as they are very differently designed.
Indian Palms Golf & Country Club - Indian/Mountain
Played On 03/03/2024Poor Conditions
This was once a very well- maintained course. The fairways were in poor condition, perhaps because they were not overseeded. The greens were spotty and had little tufts of grass in the midst of bare areas, making putting inconsistent. I only played two of the three nines, so cannot comment further.
Palm Royale Country Club
Played On 02/21/2024OK Short Course
The course only has par 3s. Many are the same length. The course was in very good condition, considering it is a public course, played by a wide range of players.
The pace of play is a bit longer than was expected for a short course.

Several years ago, CCGC was a first rate Coachella Valley course. It still is a great layout, especially the Mountain (back nine) side.
Unfortunately, the course conditioning is now very poor, except for the greens, which are well maintained.
One of the unavoidable problems is the positioning of the wash, which significantly affects the playability of holes 1 and 10.
I suspect it will be very hard for there to be much chance of rectifying the problems, without a huge influx of new money.

Played On 03/19/2022Lots of water
Grass conditions a little spotty. Challenging layout, with water hazards abounding on the Mountain nine.
Greens very quick, especially downhill.
Generally a good experience.
Palm Desert Resort Country Club
Played On 03/17/2022Quirky Holes
A somewhat dry course. Narrow fairways because of reduced overseeding. Couple of holes necessitated laying up for short hitters. Number 18 required very much less than driver, then a reasonably long second shot, with a full carry over water. A challenge for high handicappers!
A somewhat costly course for its condition. Fun, nevertheless.
Hawk's Landing Golf Course
Played On 01/28/2022Temperature
Sadly, it was too cold to play at elevation in January.
The overseeding doesn’t compare to courses in the Coachella Valley.
The layout is interesting and the choices for tee grounds is very good.
It would be a fine choice in warmer weather and worth the trip from Palm Springs.
Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort - North/South
Played On 01/08/2020RLP 2020
This was my first visit in 2020. The course has recovered well from the wash out last winter. The course conditions were excellent, including the bunkers. The staff are always friendly and helpful. My booked pairing did not show up, but I was placed with a pair of similarly skilled golfers. A pleasant day was had by all.
Palm Royale Country Club
Played On 01/05/2020A gentle warmup for our first time since coming to the area.
It's a short course, with 18 par threes. The longest hole is only 160 yds. On the positive side, it is very well maintained. The tees are sand and seeded, probably every day. The bunkers are excellent. It takes only a couple of hours to play and they have a $7 replay fee.
All in all, well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.
Fanshawe Golf Course - Traditional
Played On 10/11/2019Easy Front, Tough Back
Sadly, the greens had just been aerated, so bumpy and sandy. The front 9 is shorter and generally straight forward, except for one 90 degree hole. The back is much tougher to walk and to play. The par 3s are 200 yds, which is out of reach for seniors and short-hitting women. It is a hilly course, which can be fatiguing. It is better to ride.

Ingersoll Golf and Country Club
Played On 08/04/2019Tree-lined Challenge
Hadn't played this course for years. It is often wet and a couple of holes are unplayable, but this time all was in perfect shape. If you drive straightly-- no problem, but any off-line shot will mean a chip-out, as the trees lining most fairways are tightly spaced, preventing a long shot toward the green. Only a couple of holes have water. When slower players allow you to plat through, a round can be finished in just over 3 hours, which is very pleasant
River Road Golf Course
Played On 07/21/2019A Challenge
This course plays much longer than its yardage. the par 5s are very long from the white tees and so are many of the par 4s.This makes them bogie holes for short hitters. The course, in general, is very narrow and one of the par 3s on the back is crowded from the tee, especially the front tee, as it is offset from the green. The course stays wet after rain, which also makes it play long. It was in better shape due to the plentiful rain this year. Much tougher than the other Municipal courses in London

Cranberry Golf Course
Played On 05/27/2019Typical cottage country course
Sadly, it was still quite wet, so maintenance had been delayed-- even the tees had not been cut. The greens were slow. Driving accuracy was important, but even moreso, the second shots had to be well positioned, as creeks and other areas of rough and swampy terrain came into play, well into the fairways. The fairways were often narrowed by trees I was amazed the Slope was so low, as it was a difficult course, especially on a windy day

Date Palm Country Club
Played On 02/17/2019short game skills
This is a fine executive length course on which to sharpen your short game skills. It has smallish greens, so accuracy of the tee block is important, but getting up and down if you miss the green requires much finesse. A fun course for a group of disparate skill levels. Can be quickly played, if time is of an essence.
Fox Golf Club
Played On 10/20/2017an enjoyable day
for a course, not on the "high quality" list, it was in very good condition. The greens and fairways were well manicured-- no iffy lies. The speed of the greens was quick and tough because they are small and sloped. The choice of tees makes it challenging for low and high handicappers. I will return.
Hickory Ridge Golf and Country Club
Played On 09/24/2017good course for short hitters
This is a short course, with easy par 4s. The par 3s are challenging. Occasionally the pace of play is poor, as there are novices playing. Can be helpful to tune up the short game, as the greens are small and can have a deceptive slope. Usually can be played in around 3 hours.
Escena Golf Club
Played On 02/28/2017Desert Golfing
A well-manicured course with desert landscape. Challenging enough, with water features. A challenging 18th hole with great risk/reward on 2nd or 3rd shot. Location in north Palm Springs can bring wind as a major condition. We had 2 club winds at times. Overall, a very pleasant course that I will play again soon.
Palms at Marriott's Desert Springs Resort
Played On 01/29/2017hills and palms
this is the more interesting of the two courses at Desert Springs. Much more contour to the fairways and greens. Lots of water to avoid and an island green-their signature on this course. Always worth the tariff, especially when reduced by Golf Now!

Played On 09/05/2016a quick 18
this is a nice shortish course that usually can be played in 3 or 31/2 hours.It plays well for shorter hitters. It is in much better shape this year, especially on the tees.Fun for a quick round with my spouse!
