Always a pleasure

Beautiful conditions, fairways were immaculate and most of the greens perfect. Went out earlier than usual, which explains the somewhat slow pace. Didn't see a marshal on the course, might have been helpful to encourage a slow foursome ahead. Not the most convenient course from home, but worth the drive. Service was wonderful.

Play this because of the convenience to home. Few of the greens in rough shape, but overall well-maintained.

Always a favorite

off season, before they close to aerate the course, great play. Excellent service at check-in and following the round. Always try to play this course a few times a year.

Great quick summer p;lay

have played this courser many times as it is convenient and great prices in the summer. VERY FEW golfers on this course in the afternoon - typically choose to skip 10-12 as they are pretty uninteresting. Fast play.

Always a treat

LOVE playing this course, even in the summer heat. Staff is always so very helpful. Water comes into play a number of holes. Fairways are in great shape, some rough greens.

priced right

Played here a number of times and will do so in the summer IF under $20. Golf now alert suggested back nine was closed, turned out not to be so. Showed this to the checker, he seemed uninterested. Course in pretty rough shape, especially tee boxes with no grass at all. Just sanded the greens so expected these to be poor. Need more drinking water on the course.

Great time if you like the heat

We've always enjoyed this course, prefer the Gary Player so as not to be hitting between homes. Course was in good condition considering the time of year. Very quick play as we didn't wait at all - allowed a single to play through. Good value on GolfNow. Would prefer more water, and most holes are fairly straight. Always a pleasure to play.

Pleasantly surprised

Second time playing this course, would return again. Skipped a couple of holes due to slow players ahead, but when we're paying summer fees, easy to do. Course is is great shape for the season, greens were nicer our last play. Really a homey, very comfortable and fun course to play.

course conditions are getting rough

First time on playing the Valley course, preferred the Palm last week, as it was more interesting. Played as a quick threesome, and we did skip a hole to play through a pretty slow foursome ahead. Very accomodating starter, able to shoot out early. The fairways are really pretty rough, need some water. Greens are NOT predictable, as they were just sanded. Had to rouse some help from inside to get our clubs picked up from the bag drop. Not a very interesting course. A few lovely holes, but not enough to make an effort to drive in the future from our place in La Quinta.

Pleasant Surprise

First time playing. To the 16th hole, had the course to ourselves, and were allowed to tee off early. Fairways in great shape still, but the greens were pretty rough, putting was difficult. Very friendly and pleasant course. A little water made it somewhat interesting. If under $40 in the summer, a good value.

Still in good shape

Always a fun and challenging course to play. Prefer the North course. Very little shade along the course, so is very hot in the summer. Some courses are more tolerable than others, this one is NOT forgiving with the heat. Friendly starter, but as is typical, a grunt from the staff member checking in. Is worth the drive from La Quinta if in the $20-$30 range summer rate.

Watch for other balls

Layout is such that the narrow fairways easily overlap others. You're putting on a green while watching tee off too near your green. Obviously had to make consessions to accommodate 18 holes. Played in the rain , so perhaps not fair to the course as we were wet and cold. Rather snarly front desk rep, didn't provide helpful direction. If other courses are priced right, we will skip this one.

Enough long holes

A delightful smaller course. 18 holes means repeating the same nine. Most fairways are straight, not too challenging. We rarely saw any other golfers (on a Saturday) which was a nice change. And, after playing many "golf cart path only" courses, was nice to drive on the fairways. Course was in great shape. In the $20-$25 range, would definitely return to play.

Would return for the price

Read the reviews, and agree that the greens are in great shape. Could not say the same for many of the fairways, althought this is the middle of the summer. Had the course to ourselves, and were a little leary when instructed to play two of the 9 hole courses. Assume these were just built in separate developments. Some interesting dog-legged holes, but most were just long and straight. Would return at the summer rate, but not if paying full price.

Okay for the price

Middle of summer. Tee boxes really need some help. Agree with other reviews that little clean up is done when moving the fairways. Those greens in view of the clubhouse are in nice shape. A couple of interesting holes and a little movement on the greens. Unless you've played before, could not see some of the flags and hitting blindly. Overall would play again if the price is right, otherwise many others we preferred.

Favorite of the PGA options

Beautiful desert course. Every hole offers different mountain views. Great buy in the summer, although completing 18 holes is tough to complete in 113 degrees. We booked a noon tee time, but called the previous day, and teed off at 8:15, as there were few players. No waterfalls, but plenty of water. Expect to lose balls in the bushes that magically eat the ball you watched. Great course .
