Great day on the links

Loved the course, the conditions were awesome. Played in under 4 hours. The greens are challenging as almost every hole has multiple peninsulas on them where the hole is located often with about 8-10 feet of green, beyond them. Found this course to be beautiful and difficult for me with the 18 handicap.

Tough starting hole .

Overall I liked the course. The back nine is much better than the front. Has some nice par 4s and 5s and the holes are better defined.
The front in spots is so open your not sure where to hit.
Par threes are fairly long from the white tees.
Also annoying that the snack shack is closed at 2ish.

Nice layout with several bunkers and water features. Very playable with options for different tee shots and ability to score well. Greens a bit slow with some difficult pin locations

First time playing and we only played 12 holes.Course has lots of water and is fairly wide open. The greens were well bunkered. I thought the Bunkers needed some maintenance.

Some interesting holes with water in front of the greens .

About average for Palm Springs

Course is in great shape, what staff they have is friendly, and lunch was good. All around nice facility. My only real concerns were a lack of staffing, no snack bar operations at the turn, no cart beverage service, no greeter to give directions. It was a very skeleton crew, which is surprising given it was a holiday week and high season. The pace of play was pretty slow. We were stroke for stroke behind the folks in front of us and they behind the next, etc. it made for long waits of two groups or more on every hole. If you are there for golf only, it meets the mark. If you are there for a special golf outing, there are probably better options at the same price point.

Tournment Play

The course seamed like the greens keeper might of had a bad week. The pin placement on many greens were in very difficult positions and on more than one occasion it was next to impossible to keep the ball on the green if you missed the put. Nice fairways with difficult rough. Last 3 holes 16,17& 18 were number 6, 4 & 2 handicap holes. Mentally worn out by the end but all that said it was still a great day playing golf.

Cheers
