Pacific Palms Resort

Took 5.5 hrs to play weekday…no marshals to be seen🤦‍♂️

I’ve played this course before and the conditions and pace of play were great, not this time. We waited about 15 minutes at every hole and we finally quit on the 15th hole. Plus the conditions were not like before, lots of rodent holes and fairways were dry at some holes. Plus the fees were the highest I’ve ever paid 95.00 bucks. Not worth it for me. I hope things get back to normal beacause I really liked this course.

Checked in, guy at register ok, nothing special but nice enough to allow a ride along when they normally don't allow it.
Guy at the range felt he needed to tell me he was getting low on change, which isn't my problem and I let him know that he could ask the shop for more change. Cart guy was whatever and might be better off cutting lawn if he can't guide people to their cart and or first tee.
Marshall stopped by twice; once to see why we had 3 carts (see above where it's not normal) he was understanding about it- the second Marshall stopped to see why pace was slow and we said to ask the group in front of us or whoever as we were continually waiting.
Overall, staff made you feel unwelcome and we will not rush back- seems like it would be easier to be nice to customers than it is to be lame - get a new job if you hate your job:)

They closed Sunday when I had a booked tee time, drive an hour there just to be told they closed. No email or anything, they even still allowed you to book tee times even tho they closed. Besides that I usually love this corse

I’m fairly new to golf about 4-5 months but out of all the courses I went to this course probably has the best views, greens, range, and maintenance comparable to Griffith golf courses

Great time playing here. Scenery was good and pace was great.

My round was on 1/12/24. Greens looked great and were running fast. Course was still in winter-ish conditions. I’m a fan of this course and The Ike.

The world’s worst driving range also has the world’s worst range balls. See pics. I mean how can they give those to people. Balls covered in sand, unwashed. You have to wipe off every ball before you hit them, especially your driver and metalwoods, otherwise you will damage them. How can anybody call this customer service, at a place that tries to sell itself as a resort???? People from around the world come here and see the state of that. If you travelled to a far away destination and saw that range, you are going to run away. Especially this week, the Holiday week!!
And then the course…… my gawd, what is it with this place?
So many tee boxes need work, most were uncut today too, almost like rough on the tee.
And who did these pins on the greens??? Some of them were completely on side slopes and horrible humps!!! No wonder it was taking for ever to play. Having teed off at first twilight tee times, you would expect to be able to finish. But no. So many people were struggling with the course layout anyway, and then they have to deal with those crazy pins!!! On a weekday! Players were pinging back up and down and around the pin all day, we were so delayed we didn’t get to finish. We did our best, but we had to call it quits on 16.
Just really sad.

Beautiful views and great course layout. Fairways were rock hard and had some rough spots. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Major issue was the greens. Every green was mult-tiered and holes were cut right on the edge of them, making for some ridiculously difficult putts. I putted off the green a few times and therefore had the most 3-putts in my entire life.

Having to constantly smash putts up a massive incline in the green was not an enjoyable experience and makes it impossible to get the pace right on these greens.

If i were to come back I would try The Babe Course, which I heard was easier.
