Palm Royale short game beauty.

Golfed here for the first time because a friend had back surgery a while back and wanted to try golf again. We knew it was going to be a short course and it was a great experience for this length of course. Friendly and helpful staff, great course conditions, and a reasonable pace of play for Friday afternoon. Finished 18 in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Minimal waits at about 4 holes. Great short game practice. Will be back.

Fun round

We took a twilight 9 hole (excellent) rate. We got away about 20 min early and had nobody in sight ahead of us and no one pushing us at all. Greens were in good shape as were the 1st and second cuts around the greens. Had a fun 1/2 round.

Slow play at PDRCC

Played today with a 1:15 tee time. We were supposed to be in a foursome but the other two people we were to golf with, whom we did not know, were teeing off while I was checking in. We were allowed to tee off 20 minutes ahead of our tee time as a twosome. The twosome ahead of us were off the first green before we teed off. We caught up to the twosome ahead of us on the 4th hole, a par 3. At the 6th (par 3) hole there was a foursome leaving the green, and two separate twosomes waiting when we rounded the corner to the hole. We quit at the 12th as this was getting worse.

PDRCC June 2019

The course is in pretty good shape. The 14th water hazard is dry and not a nice sight. As a foursome we were pushed by two different twosomes of whom neither would play through. The clubhouse facilities were closed, I guess normal for the summer? This course plays tougher than appearances would suggest.

San Gorgonio summer surprise

While busy and a bit slow the course was in great shape, especially for June. We enjoyed the round and found this course to be challenging but not as much as Santa Rosa. Forgiving fairways and beautiful scenery.

Santa Rosa course excellence

The course was in great shape especially for early June. While it was busy we were not pushed and waited minimally on five or six holes golfing as a 4-some. The clubhouse lounge and restaurant was closed so we had to go to Papa Dan’s for a libation after the game. No view or club ambiance.

Nice afternoon golf

The pace of play was much better today. We did not wait at any hole except #2. Course is in good shape. There was no ice available for the carts as their machine has been broken for several days. Water hazards were good except on 14. see pictures.

Maintenance issues?

Front nine was in good shape but waited at all holes except 7 and 8. The starter was pushing at 5 minute intervals.
Speed of play picked up on the back with minimal waits at 10 through 14. The water hazards on 14 were almost and completely dry and ugly. Seems like a course having financial trouble?
See the pictures.

Oasis CC great fun

We golfed as a twosome and waited minimally at most of the front nine, behind a threesome. Not what I would call slow pace at all. The course is fun with six par four holes. The conditions of the course were excellent and the staff was friendly and nice. We were early and ready to go so they let us out 20 minutes early. This was a “hot deal”and excellent value.
I will be back to work on my short game.

Shadow Mountain Great Deal

This was the first time at Shadow Mountain. Liked the course except for the 18th hole tee box location and lack of directional signs to get there. We never waited more than a few minutes at any tee box and only at about 4 of them. The course was in good shape and the staff was helpful and friendly. I will be back.

While this course is short it is fun and challenging on several holes. There is lots of water and well placed traps. The course was in excellent shape. We golfed as a 2-some and were joined by a member of the club (Ken) who had some excellent tips from a course perspective. You will need a driver on at least two holes.

Indian Springs

The course is looking like they are preparing for some turf reduction. Watering has been stopped or restricted in some areas. That said I still enjoyed this course. We were lucky to get their free lunch special when paying for our round. Greens were in good shape and watered areas of fairways were green and cut. After an eagle on the 13th a year ago, this remains one of my favorite courses. No luck there this time, just a birdie. :-)

Palm Desert Resort & CC under construction

The greens are in great shape. The fairways, how ever, are being excavated on some back 9 holes for a desert look. Where actual De-construction is being done there are workers, machinery and temporary tee boxes. Other areas look like they are killing off the grass in preparation to remove it for more of the desert look. I have seen some courses go to the desert look successfully but, as the pictures show, this is not looking like a successful transition.

The sixth hole is a fun par 3 with the green surrounded by water on three sides and the 18th is a fun but challenging hole with a sharp dog leg left and about a 120+ yard water hazard before the green.

Ranchos Las Palmas

We totally enjoyed this course, especially as I shot one of my best scores and totally blew my partners out of the water score wise. Guess the stars were aligned just right for me. We really enjoyed the course even though the bottom holes to the north were damaged by earlier floods. The Staff was the friendliest staff we encountered in seven days of golfing at seven different resorts.

This course was in Excellent shape. We totally enjoyed the course.
If it is hot, take lots of water. The course staff was friendly and helpful. Make sure you have some loose dollars to tip the person ready at the 18th green to clean your clubs.
