This course is ordinary

Extremely slow pace of play and tee times should be at least one more minute apart. No ice box nor towels on the cart. Bunkers are hard as rock and no sand. Clubhouse needs refreshing badly. Very tight layout which means that you are always in the face of some players with moderately errant shots. Poor value for the money and I would not recommend given the many other choices available in the area..

Starting times

This is a relatively short course which was backed up on the first hole and remained that way. I was told they allow 7 minutes between groups, it resulted in 3 hrs for 9 holes. I am a pretty patient guy but if that is what golf is about I would hang it up.

Clearly, they have course management issues.

Enjoyable Golf Experience

Free range balls ready for use on driving range. Course in great condition, an enjoyable track to play. Food mediocre. Gated community, entrance permitted by pre-booked tee time.

Where's the beach?

Great staff, good food, nice course. The only odd thing was the bunkers didn't have any good sand. Pretty much just hard pan wet dirt. It definitely makes the fairway bunker shots more productive, but careful around the greens! A much more difficult proposition.

Just OK

Played here for the first time with some locals who know the course. The condition was fair. the fairways are on the thin side which is not great. The pace of play was awe full. On many holes we had three or four groups. I got it at a discount price, so I partially accepted it. At full price I would have been pretty disappointed. When we were finished, the bar was closed.

first time

Course in okay shape but overall it looked old, tired and in need of some TLC. Greens were hard but understandable given the 'drought' conditions in CA.
Better value for the $ elsewhere in the valley

Not worth $85

Funky course. Narrow fairways. Slow play. No ranger. Course was just sold. Although some water on course, no water before teeing off.

Classic old course

Have played here more than other course in the Palm Springs area and would always go back. Great staff and course. Only bad area were the traps. Some of them rock hard without sand.

Lovely course with challenges

A goup up head apparently had poor etiquette (or basic golf knowledge) and slowed things down. We enjoyed it though. we were 2 couples from San Diego. The weather was perfect - gorgeous and sunny (and not windy, like you get sometimes in Palm Springs area). Course was well maintained. The greens were tough (lots of break - more than we oculd see) (although slower than we expected) and tough pin placements. We got a great rate of $55 on golf now which made it an excellent value. It is in a gated community but open to the public. I believe it has just been sold to a new owner, so hopefully it will even get nicer. Staff was friendly.

Average golf in Rancho Mirage

Average golf course.
I guess its worth the $65 I paid on Golf Now for a 7am tee time the night before I played, especially when you compare it to well over $100 for anything at PGA West or comparable, which you do have to treat yourself to occasionally.
No one was there to greet me when I dropped off my clubs to go park.
Had no idea where the Pro Shop was.
There were no keys in the carts.
I did end up playing in 2 hrs. & 25 mins., my fastest time ever, but that was because I played by myself & there was only a twosome in front of me by a couple holes.
There were a couple other singles out there as well.
I didn't play all that well as I prefer to play with a group as it helps keep me somewhat focused.
I would go back again with my own group (twosome or foursome) or if I was on my own & had nowhere else to go.
I'm sure if you lived at this gated golf community & got to know some people it would be a fun place to play.

Rancho Mirage CC

Incredibly good value for the price. Fourth or fifth time there and we drive 2 hours to play. The course, the weather and the scenery all combine to give a lasting positive memory. We've already made plans to return.

Past it's prime

Rancho Mirage back in the Kennedy/Johnson years was probably a crown jewel in the Palm Springs area. Now the course and the facilities are just tired and dated. 5 stars to the greeter at the bag drop. He was (besides us) the only person I saw at the course that was under 70. Greens were good and rolled true. Tee boxes were in good condition. Fairways were about like what you would find at a local muni. The overall conditions are not on a par with other courses at the same price. If you can play for under $50 it would be a good deal. The GolfNow price of $95 was not worth it. Unless you want nostalgia I would not play this course. My wife is a beginner and did not enjoy her round here due to length of the forward tees, water carries and could not hit her longer woods due to the condition of the fairways. One final comment, hole #10 is just a design mess. Nuff said.
