Tahquitz Creek Resort Course

Fairways have very tight grass, making shots difficult to gain traction. Off the ground. Homeless camp(s) just off the course are not a plus. I realize that this is the height of the golf season, but the course does not command $139 greens fees.

The course was in very good shape. The starter was very nice and friendly. We were offended by having a staff person follow us around as we played our round in four hours. Meanwhile, the group following us, that started ten minutes after us, was two holes behind us.

Great Condition

I last played here about 10 years ago, and the course condition back then was not great. Today, it is a beautiful lush green course. Good layout and interesting. Sand bunkers had sufficient sand to enable getting out. Greens are generally elevated, not large and firm, so they are a challenge. Definitely play again.

Overpriced, poorly maintained.

Hard, bumpy greens, hard fairways, and poorly maintained course. WAY overpriced compared to all the wonderful course options in the area. Love the layout but they’ve really gone downhill in the last few years.

Bums living on course

When we payed $144 a person to play a round here we were shocked to see that there were homeless encampments sprinkled throughout the course. While it was early in the morning the server ridiculously messed up our orders dropped our food charged/poured double shot cocktails when we asked for singles. Kinda surprised that we had to pay for range balls after paying the fee that we did. We had a group of 12 for a bachelor party weekend and honestly we were hoping for a better experience. We had a good time because we were in good company but wish we took our money elsewhere.

Tahquitz

This is a really nice course. It was in great shape and the layout is pretty good. We enjoy it. It was a little slow on the back 9.
(This course is much more interesting than it's Sister course: Legends.)

One of the best, if not the best course in the Valley. Can’t go wrong with Desert Willow.

Good value for the money relatively. Last played here in 2020. The addition of new carts and having enough of them fixes what had been the most negative feature of the course in prior years.

Good value

The course was relatively inexpensive but as a result it was very busy. The pace of play was slow. The fairways and greens were in good shape. I would play again but knowing that it will be a long round of over 4.5 hours.
