Very disappointed

Was not informed of slow greens because of overseeding, very disappointed that GN did not disclose. In the future I will contact the course directly and not book blind with GN. GN used to be a trusted provider, not anymore.

Excellent Value

Although it is a long drive from Scottsdale (60 minutes) it as worth the drive. Challenging but fair layout. My wife enjoyed the course as much as I did.

Hidden Gem

Lovely course in a less than lovely part of Vegas. Narrow fairways make the course more challenging than the yardage would indicate. I play this course everr time I am in Vegas.

Mike its great to hear you play Desert Pines every time you're in Las Vegas. The course is challenging but very user friendly. See you next time at the club.

Disappoiting Conditions

Greens were nice, tee boxes were average, fairways were very dry. Very disappointing after all of the rain this year. The course looked better during the drought.

A Jewel in Indio

I Played from the back tees and I found the course challenging enough for a better player (I play to an 8 index). Plenty of opportunities to find trouble. Not a fan of the grass used on the greens (not sure what it is called but is the wider bladed, flat lying type) but I know this type is used on courses located in hot environments. Very good value. It was calm the day I played but I know it can get windy on the north side of I10.

Challenging and narrow course. It's a little bit of drive but it is a great value. The clubhouse leaves little to be desired. Can be warm.

San Juan Hills

Challenging course. Very firm and fast greens. Play was very slow (waited on every Tee Box) because of a tournament. Great value although previous groups never repaired their pitch marks.

Two Different Nines

This is a delightful golf course with two distinctly different nines. The front was a links style that played very difficult because of the high winds (15 -25 mph). The back nine was narrow but protected from the wind by a beautiful forest. There were many blind tee shots on the back nine but reading the scorecard hints was helpful. Great value (for the price of a single at The Mountain executive course in Incline, two played at Northstar).

Front nine was in poor condition. Greens and Tee boxes where good but the fairways looked in a state of disrepair. Back nine was spectacular!

Resort Golf

Desert Springs has beautiful views, wide fairways and is very playable. This is my second visit and my girlfriend (a 36 index) and I had a great time. If you are a single digit golfer you should easily shoot in the 70's here.

Great Venue

For late December the course was in great condition. The greens rolled well but where very firm. Delightful course with plenty of challenge. Friendly staff and an unbeatable price $30 for two with a cart!

Great staff, open fairways, excellent greens for intermediate golfers.

An excellent course for the mid to high handicapper. Not very long, even from the back tees. Strategic sand traps test a good golfer's shot making. Fair and reasonable greens, even in the heat of May. The course was in exccellent condition and was a great value at $44.
