Incredible course let down by condition of the greens.

The course is exquisite however was let down by the condition of the greens. They were quick enough but very patchy, a lot of dead spots. If not careful they will lose the greens. tTe layout is challenging and very pleasing to the eye and a good test of golf! Will definitely play again next time I’m in Palm Springs but will be checking the greens condition first.

Starter was a real character and added to the fun of the course!! Front 9 is very tight!!

Too slow for me

The course was in fine shape including the greens considering it was 100 degrees in June. Layout was pretty challenging for a resort course with several blind shots and a lot of water. it's probably the reason for the slow pace of play. we started at 8:20 and waited virtually every hole from the start. Finally we gave up after the 15th hole four hours into the round. As we drove past the last 3 hole we noticed that they were probably the hardest holes on the course, so we were convinced that it would have been another hour to finish. We also noticed the group in front of us was a full hole behind.
It was Father's Day so there may have been several once a year golfers out.
With that being said, a marshal might be helpful in moving things along

Challenging course; rude staff

Go for the golf. The course is amazing. Challenges at every turn and epic views. The starter was a real gentleman. The amenities after golf are first-class. Parking can be a challenge so make sure not to end up in either hotel lot. There’s valet parking (highly recommended). The pro shop staff degrade the review. Spend little time in the shop. One staff member followed me as I looked at the items (profiling). The staff checking you in have attitude problems. I’ve never payed all over the world, the pro shop staff here are some of the worst. Just avoid the shop.

Tee to green on par with the best

made an impromptu to the area and got an early tee 8:10 time. Complimentary valet parking, fantastic pro shop, and friendly staff. The range is state of the art, even though the yardage was a bit off. The course was in great shape. The greens were fast, but fair. The ball rolled great, but held nicely as well. I would place this course is right up there with the best of them, including Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes, Spanish Bay...ect
