Par for the course

First time playing in the Palm Springs area and this course was one of a few that was $125 or less for a morning tee time. Fortunately got 1 of our 2 tee times with a $100 HotDeal. Not likely to play again unless it's $75 or less. On the positive side, the greens were its best asset of this course. Fairways were...fair. The course itself was in good shape. The neighborhood and backyards that flanked the course was...how shall I say it...not resort-like for its resort-like fee.

Older course in great shape

We played in the morning and enjoyed the round. Pace of play was excellent, with no waiting. The entire development is somewhat aged, but some homes are being restored. Has both a putting green and a separate chipping green, but no range. Had a couple of hitting nets to loosen up.

Good value for the money.

Great golf

We have golfed here about 4 times when visiting Palm Desert and have to say, this time was the best. The course was in the best shape we have seen it . We do miss the free beer voucher but everyone is always friendly and it’s a bit pricey but a good golf experience.

Great Course Conditions

We really enjoyed playing Palm Desert. The course was in great shape and the greens pristine. They were faster than what we’re used to, so it took some time to get used to the speed. There was no one in front or behind us, so the pace was perfect. The carts were pretty dated, but they worked. Several times it was difficult to get the brake to engage. The pro shop was relatively small and didn’t have much merchandise. But overall, it was a wonderful round of golf and we’d definitely play again.

Pleasantly surprised

I enjoyed Palm Desert CC. It was in good condition. My only real complaint is the first tee is a little hard to find!!!
