Legend at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort

Played here mid morning on Friday & the weather was perfect high of about 85. Course is under construction on the other side & some greens are worn down with fungus & patches. Lots & Lots of bugs on this course flying around & pestering the entire round.
Staff is super friendly & very welcoming, price is a little high for current conditions but, hey every thing is getting more expensive. Pace was great since I went solo & didn’t have anyone in front of me, played all 18 in 2 1/2 hours.

Needs love by professionals! Traps, fairways,
Greens need attention!

The pro-shop personnel were very friendly and helpful.
The course suffered minimal damage from the last storm that passed through the area. For this time of year the fairways were in good shape. The rough was 2-3:inches high and a mix of thick/thin with an assortment of grasses. Bunkers were in decent shape. Tee's were cut and in good shape. I played my round in 2 hours and never saw another golfer. I enjoyed my round.

After looking at the pictures I was expecting one awesome green course. What we had was bad greens and fairways. I know the heat played a part in the overall conditions, however, I will not return during this time of year.

Every area of the course was in rough shape other than the bunkers, which I was in a lot today. I can’t see coming back here this summer unless they cut the rate in half. The staff is awesome but that’s about it.

Course is nice, but greens are in rough shape. Doesn’t look like they will have the under control anytime soon.

Built in 1959 it has the vibe for sure. Course is a little rough around the edges. Their Bermuda transition hasn’t really happened and they are yet to punch and sand. Greens are tricky which is fun. If you like wandering through homes and condos which reflect the ‘60’s architecture it is pretty cool to see. 6500 yards from the whites is a nice length and with summer conditions you will get a lot of roll! I might go back in the season when it is in better shape.

After playing the Resort course we thought that we could try the Legend course as the Resort course was fun. No comparison...the Legend course is a old-style muni design that was basically beat the ball back and forth along the fairway. The recent rain and damage to Tahquitz Creek is evident here, especially on Nos. 1, 9, and 18 as the creek has washed away the bridges and fairways on these holes. Sorry...shouldn't have charged $50/round...was maybe worth half that...

The highlight for me was getting to see some of the original palm springs architecture in the homes around the course ….. not the pristine highly groomed courses that you find in Palm Desert much more of a neighborhood public course feel which is fine but don’t expect it to be some thing it’s not.

Beautiful course. Even had its own river flow thru the middle of the course. First time in many years in May.
Negatives - homeless people living next to the course. No water provided on the course. Tough to play when you run out of water half way through

I really love this course. I come and play it every year. And it was nice to see water in the water way. Nice little extra bit of hazard.
