This is the second time I have played the North course. The first time is a killer because the greens are undulating and you don't know what's behind the pin, so after having been burned for a few holes, you start to play short so that you can see where your ball lands up. Chipping around the green is hard unless you are a very good chipper - errant chips will roll off the green because of the slopes in every direction. I often landed up putting instead of chipping. The holes aren't long and are usually reachable in regulation, but the slope rating of 124 comes from the difficult greens.

Some scenic vistas of the area. The short par 3 on #15 coming home to the clubhouse is magnificent - only 112 yards (whites) but is an island green and the scenery is just perfect.

Played the course for the first-time ion April 22nd. Staff were very friendly - lady in proshop told us not to over read the greens - good tip.

Course good but the wind was up to 20 mph gusts which made things just a little challenging. Apparently, this is normal for Palm Springs at this time of the year, so if you are vacationing to play golf in Palm Springs, plan your dates accordingly.

18th signature hole is a nice challenge - par 5 with two islands. Course is walkable and has a good balance of water and sand. Risk reward holes challenge your thinking. Bet deal now in Spring. Summer rates get up there.
