slow play 5 hours and no help from rangers.

The course itself is ok, too many coots and coot poop but otherwise ok conditions. Nearly every green is elevated making approach shots tough for oldsters.
Big complaint us the slow play. We began at 8:30 and finally pulled in to the cart return at 1:20. We saw two rangers talking about slow play but did nothing about it.

Good course

The course was in excellent shape. The greens were fairly quick,and rolling true. Fairways were in good shape and wide enough for you to miss a little, but still recover from errant shots. Starts out easy, with a few easier holes, but there were plenty of challenging holes to keep you focused. Pace of play was excellent, until the 13th hole, when things got backed up for no apparent reason. It did finish decently,at just over 4 hours.Can’t complain compared to some other courses in the area. Overall, great round of golf, with plenty of challenging, and some easier holes. Would recommend the resort course to anyone.Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Be wary

First time playing here. The course was in great shape and the staff were friendly. My problem was the homeless camp on the course. We were warned of the camp only as the starter was sending us to the first tee. He said to watch out for the camp near the green of the third hole. Told us we could park our carts in the grass by the green so we could keep an eye on them while we finished playing the hole. The camp stretched beyond the third hole. Tents and makeshift cardboard houses filled the area between the third and fourth holes. Several homeless men were seen walking or biking the course/cart paths. It was quite disconcerting. As a woman, I’m glad I was playing with two men, but it would certainly be a safety concern if a group of only women were playing and these homeless guys are wandering around their carts and their belongings. I’m not sure if the problem is that the course won’t do anything about it, or if the problem is that the course has been told by the city or someone else not to do nothing about it. Either way, it is an injustice for paying customers to have to deal with such a situation. I would definitely not play there again without someone I felt safe with playing with me. Having to worry about a strange man (I saw no women at all in the camp) messing with your stuff or possibly taking your things during a round of golf is unacceptable. This is a resort course and I just can’t believe what they are allowing to take place there. Sending players/customers off with a warning to watch their things, rather than taking action to rid the course of this problem is just mind boggling to me.

As mentioned to a later comment this is now in process and by the time you read this will have been worked out by the city and by PSPD- it has been a long and difficult time for the communities involved and the golf course - first to treat these people with dignity but also do it within the legal system- they can now be dealt with through legal means since there’s housing available and this has been happening and should no longer be an issue within a week or so of mid March.

A small bucket list course

There are courses you want to play and last time I was here I booked the Legend course, it’s nice and all but for sheer beauty, play Resort. The fairways are in great condition, the greens were consistent and the bunkers had cleaner sand than some other courses around. Nice dog legs, long par three’s and green grass everywhere. Playing here is a must.

Sling time in the desert

What a gorgeous golf course! Long par fives, water on the par threes and tremendous vistas all over. Fairways are in great condition and so were the greens. Definitely worth the time and money to play this gem!

Great Course … Excellent Value

We got a great Hot Deal from GolfNow for our booking, so the value was excellent. Even the regular rate would have put this course high on my list of good value golf courses in the area. The greens were firm and fast, but well maintained and playable. The fairways were in good shape and wide enough to manage most off-centre drives. And, the layout was excellent … with a good mixture of hole lengths and features. A few of the holes had excellent views … and overall a very pleasant experience!

On the negative side: there was a homeless camp adjacent to the course, with a few extra people walking or biking along the course. Also, in general, the rough got real rough real quick … sometimes not playable. And, the 9th hole does not return to the clubhouse … so make sure you pack ample food and drink for the entire 18 holes.

Overall, a great course with enough challenge, features, and different layouts to satisfy most golfers. Be prepared for the full 18 holes, and you will enjoy your day golfing at Tahquitz Creek - Resort Course!

Nice course - good value for money

This course was a pleasant surprise. All was good (except for a hitch at the start, where someone tried to take my 1pm cart and the starter tried to tell me I did not have a 1pm time). I had the time, the people in the cart getting ready were the ones in the wrong. Their name did not match, but they were all set to go.

The course itself was fun and in fine shape. A bit slow - there were 3 groups in front of us that were playing a tournament amongst themselves - and were very slow. No marshall on the course to tell them to be considerate of others. We got all 18 in, but the last hole was getting quite dark and we started at 1 - should of had plenty of time.

Stupid slow

Greens need some work. People need to repair ball marks. Otherwise a nice course. Finished in the dark because they squeezed a group in that was late. Really slowed things down. 3 groups on par 3s. Stupid.

This course has unique features

For being in the prime season for the desert courses the greens are 80%
little disappointed. The fairway and course condition are extremely manicured.

Nice Day Out

Played on 2/10/24. Fairways in great shape. Greens fair. 2-3 really picturesque holes. Grass driving has no grass left where stalls were set up. Friendly staff. Course layout is out and back so no chance for food at the turn. Large population of homeless camping in adjacent desert so on course bathrooms are locked up. Some holes adjacent to public walking path. On site restaurant is casual but food was good. No GPS in carts. Some holes had surprise water hazards that weren't visible. Good pace of play.
