Great layout and facilities

This is one of the best courses in the area. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating. John the starter is a perfect gentleman and makes your round very enjoyable. The fairways were in great shape and the greens were putting around an 8 with no bumps. The traps were raked and full of sand. While this might be referred to as a resort course, it will provide enough of a challenge no matter how good you are. The par 3's from the Blue tees are challenging. Put this course on your "to play" list.

Great Conditions

The entire facility is 1st class. From the range to the course, you will not be disappointed with this club. They are very organized with a starter and a full range. Several of the bunkers were being worked on which was the only negative. The course is in tip top condition for being at the end of the summer in Palm Desert.

Needs major attention

We received a great rate and the reviews appeared decent so we decided to play the course. It appears that the course has been totally neglected. The tee boxes were absent of any grass and hard as a rock. I ended up using a 3 wood of the deck since I couldn't get a tee into the ground. I realize that we are at the end of the summer, but other courses are in great shape this time of year. The fairways were a mess and every green looked totally burned out. It's a nice track but the course needs a major renovation, irrigation, seed and sod. The staff were extremely friendly but I cannot recommend this course to anyone.

Great layout.

The starter and pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape for September in the desert. Highly recommend this course if you are in the area.
