Playable course

Great course to start your experience in Palm Springs. Fairly easy and accommodating for novice golfers, and a good course for experience golfers to start a vacation in Palm Springs.

Rough start

The first few holes were pretty rough, lots of brown and grey grass, the ponds were quite mucky, greens were not in great shape throughout. The fairways did seem to improve in "green" as we went along and got closer to houses. The rocks around the ponds looked like they had had really salty water up against them for years and nobody ever washed them off. Seems a good power washing of the rocks would make them look a lot better and spruce up trhe course a bit. Again, the first probably 5 holes looked like management just didn't care about them.

Course had it's run

I'm sure this WAS a really good conditioned course but now I don't think it lives up to carry the Gary Player name. The track itself is not bad, but conditions are not prime for the prime $$ being charged. Carts are worn, seats torn, no GPS, greens slow, fairways ok, etc. Unless you get a deal of around $75, skip this one.

Good value, nice fairways and greens.

Not as challenging layout as the Pete Dye Challenge but in better condition this year.

Needs some TLC

We love the track and some of best staff going, but the course needs some work. Greens are very good and the fairways are fine, but lots of areas need water . It’s one of our favorite courses, but like others in the valley, dynamic pricing has impacted it value as you pay a lot to play a course which needs so much.

My Thoughts

Pro shop staff was very welcoming. Starter appeared indifferent. Golf carts are never available when you get there. Limits ability to warm up.

Disappointed the restaurant/ barb was closed when we finished our round. Also washroom closed.

Fortunately back shop made theirs available.

Fun round.
