A must visit - best course we played all week

We played this as the last course of 7 over the week and what finale it was! From the moment you arrive you are met with warm, friendly and appreciative service. Free ball marker, pitch repairer, golf towel and lunch voucher. Course is absolutely stunning - never taken so many pictures on a golf course. Free water bottles every 3 holes. Layout and condition were superb. Greens were a touch slow due to overseer but very true and will be up to speed in about a week. Staff and service in the clubhouse is without fault. We will play this course again if we return

Worst of the 7 courses we played

The staff are very friendly here and some of the holes are fun to play. However, in our opinion it was the least favourite of the courses we played over a week. Tee boxes were terrible, fairways were good but the main problem is the greens. Everyone is scattered with old pitch marks, some repaired with green sand/seed - many not. Horrible to look at and putt on.

A gem, very close to central Palm Springs

This course comes up as surprise gem and better than we had anticipated. Course is very nice to play and was in great shape - greens and fairways. Great scenery, including planes coming in to land! Would definitely play again, staff friendly and very helpful.

Nice course - fun to play

We played this as one of 7 courses on a golf vacation. Didn't get off to the best start. Staff wanted us to pay although we had pre booked/paid. Took some sorting out but got resolved (only time we had this issue all week). Also, disappointing that all club house faculties were unavailable due to a refurb (would like to have know in advance). Golf course was excellent, great condition and fun to play. Greens were very good and pace of play was good too. Very nice mid-range course to play and clearly will benefit from the investment which is being made to the clubhouse.

Very nice course in great condition

We played this course as one of 7 on a golf break. Excellent facility and it ranked 2nd of the 7 we played. Staff are very friendly, course and greens were in superb condition. Pace of play was good and well marshalled.

Not one of the better courses we played

We played this as one of 7 courses over the week and it ranked 6th of the 7. Early layout is not very interesting and the canal comes into play too many times, it detracts from the terrain. Condition of fairways was mixed. Pace of play was good and staff were friendly. Greens in good condition and ran well.

Great course, slow play was an issue

We played this course as the first of 7 on a golf vacation. Starter said it would be the best we played, it wasn't. Course was in good shape but not as good as two others we played (Classic & Westin Mission Hills). Staff were professional but very business like. We had no previous experience of Palm Springs and daylight hours. So I question why we were given 4 tee times for 16 golfers starting at 12.23? As we found out, we were never in with a chance of completing our round, especially given that the group in front of us had a walker!

Very playable course in good condition

This course had originally been removed from our itinerary due to condition after over seeding but was reinstated just before we left for our golf vacation. Strangely, it was in near perfect condition; fairways were good and greens true, just a little slow. Wide open fairways and a good variety of holes make this an enjoyable test of golf. Only slight issue that stopped me giving it a 5 star all round was there was no drinks cart on the course, although there are numerous water stations.

Visually stunning course but the staff let it down

This is an exceptional golf course. Great views from the tee and challenging tee shots to avid sand. There no actual bunkers on this course, they are all designated waste areas?! Course was in real good condition and a delight to play. What stops me giving this a perfect score are the staff. From the miserable girl on the drinks cart to the down right rude lass in the club house. We were a group of 16 golfers and treated as though we were an unwelcome interruption. Customer service was the worst we experienced all week across 7 golf courses! Club House facilities poor and we were told we had to get out by 5.00pm as they needed to set up for a function?!

Nice layout and in good condition

We played 7 rounds during a golf vacation and this ranked as our third favourite golf course behind TPC and Pine Barrens. As an overall package I would put this on a par (no pun intended) with TPC. Course was in fine condition and very playable, albeit that the first is a formidable Par 4 - Stroke Index 1 !! Good condition all over the course and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely play again.

Not one of the better courses we played

We were over for a week (7 rounds of golf) and this was not one of our favourite courses. It was in reasonable condition but we found some of the greens to be in poor condition. I don't know why the course hasn't been reviewed for many months but there is nothing that appealing about the experience in comparison to other courses we played. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Everything you would expect from a TPC facility

My group have played various TPC courses and this is up there with them all. Although challenging, it is a very fair course. The greens were quick! They don't over seed here, so it will always be in good condition. The friendliness of the staff was exceptional - they really make you feel welcome. Excellent course and was top of the 7 courses we played during the week. Would thoroughly recommend this facility if you are in the area.

Some big carries - pick the right tees!

The course had recently been over seeded and the greens were very slow. Depending on how far you hit the ball, you will want to play off forward tees as there are some big carries to negotiate from the tee. Staff were helpful and friendly.

OK but not exceptional

We played this as one of 7 courses over the week. Probably ranked 5th of the 7. Greens were slow, quite a challenge off the Blue Tees - some big carries.
Staff were friendly and helpful, overall course condition OK.

Nice layout in poor condition

We played this as one of 7 courses over a week and rated this 6th. The design and layout were good but the conditions all round, especially fairways and greens was poor. The group were disappointed

Best course we played

We played 7 courses during our stay and yes the LPGA courses were in great condition but tough. This course was both in good condition and very playable. Each hole is different and great visually from the tee box. All aspects were good and the guys voted this as our favourite course of the trip. We chose it as it was on the way back to the airport on our last day but it is worthy of travelling out from Daytona Beach to play.

Bunkers are a disgrace!

If the 7 courses we played as a group this was the worst course for condition. The staff in the club shop took our money without any chatter or apology for what we were about to experience! The general condition of fairways and greens was OK but for a course which is all about the many and vast bunkers it was very disappointing that they ALL were in extremely poor condition. They just don't get worked on! Water channels and mud is what you find. Very open course and not good on a windy day. Beware that at the moment you will be playing alongside a vast civil engineering project in the centre of the course

Good all round package

We played this as one of 7 courses during a group golf trip. It is a good all rounder in good condition. Staff were friendly even though the club house was extremely busy. Course is well maintained and greens were good.

Pleasant surprise after initial impression

We turned up as a visiting group having played LPGA the previous day. We feared the worst: no staff at the bag drop and no catering facilities, although you could buy stuff in the club shop. We learned that this was due to a recent death. Turning to the course it was all good. Tees, fairways, bunkers and greens all in good condition. The course is a nice layout and very playable. After our visit we were disappointed we hadn't chosen to play the South Course given the condition we found several other courses we played (Pelican and Venetian Bay)
