One of the only courses that is playable this time of year and in great shape. I will be back soon.

We play the Reserve a lot. It is close to home and always in good shape. Yesterday was the slowest weekday round I have ever played. We were well over 4 hours with 4 holes left to play. It was windy and getting cold so we just left. There was a Marshall, but he was like a sheriff without a badge. He had no idea how to solve the problem even though he told us that there was a group that had three empty holes ahead of them. Perhaps the Marshalls should be educated a bit on what their job is.

We love playing this course. It is a fun track and always in good shape. My only complaint would be the pace of play. A little over 5 hours and a Friday afternoon seems like to long. Perhaps a Marshall could be inserted to keep the slower groups moving.

We play at the Reserve about once a month. It is always in good shape and is a fun course that requires some shot making. We slowed down a bit on the back nine, back still finished well under four hours. Play here, you will not be disappointed.

The course is always in great shape. One of the prettiest courses around. Always see deer and other wide life. Great course and a great price with Tee off golf.

I play here regularly and always like it. Course is in good shape and always a good test.

My wife and I always like to play here when we come to Palm desert. The course is very well maintained and offers the golfer a chance to hit every club in his bag. The staff is friendly and the pace of play was great. Fun course to start you golf holiday on.

Beautiful course in the foothills. Never see less than ten deer when we play there. Course is always in great condition. Well worth playing.

I try to play PML at least once a year. We played there today and it was wonderful. They have done several upgrades since the last time I played there. The course and greens where in green shape. Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Groveland. You will not regret it

We use to love this short course. Great conditions, beautiful greens, lovely fairways and you could play a round in 3 hours. Last Friday we played and it took over four hours to finish. Cart path only, and every place we stopped to walk to our ball we had to walk though mid to get to the fairway. The greens were in terrible shape and had large areas with in grass. These areas were filled in with sand. I won’t be back until they get thie course back in shape.

We had never played this course and were in the Monterey area so we gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The course was very nice

I love the layout of this course and the greens, fairways and tee boxes are always in very good shape. I have never been disappointed in this course.

I played here a year ago and this course was playable. Today, it is not. The tee boxes are ridiculous, over grown with grass and weeds. The bunkers are filled with grass and weeds and no effort has been made to take care of them for a long time. The course is home to 1,000 geese and all of the smell that goes along with that. No score cards or help from staff. We also saw many turkeys, rabbits, and bullfrogs. If you like animals and don’t care about golf, this is the place to go. If you like golf on a decent course, do not go to The golf club at Rio Vista.

Started out a bit cool and then warmed up nicely. Tee boxes, greens and fairway were in good shape. Many blind tee and approach shots. A challenging and fun course.

Great course. Greens were a little slow, but the course was in great shape

The course is a little short, but forces you to shape the ball off the tee on several holes. The greens are in very good shape and except for the ugly gray sand in the bunkers it is a real pleasure to play. It appears that they are replacing this sand with a more user friendly white sand as they had a large amount of sand setting in a maintenance area.

The tee boxes were a mess and it looked like they had not been moved for weeks. The greens were not cut and very slow. The course has good bones, but it just is not being cared for adequately.

I have always enjoyed playing La Contenta. It is a challenging course that requires accurate tee shots to score well. I was disappointed the last time that I played in the condition of the greens. Several of them had dead areas or spots where the grass was being reseeded.

The greens are very slow for a course of this quality. They need to be cut and rolled.
