The course was in good shape but the homes surrounding the course were pretty shabby looking with a lot of junk in some of the back yards.

Great Layout

Great playable course with mostly wide fairways. Water and fairway bunkers are in play on several holes, but are not overly challenging. Played this course several times over the past month, and enjoyed it each time.

little disappointing

flew in from Canada to play. was expecting more from Palm Desert. missing a lot of little things like beverage cart (no cat at all)
no on course washrooms, pro shop fellow could have been quite a bit friendlier, a little short and direct attitude. price is quite high for what you get. for the cost, i would not recommend

Nice course!

Often good landing areas off of the tees but with some bunkers strategically placed on fairways and around greens to create some good challenges. Enjoyed it a lot and would manage it differently for sure next time around.

Nice course

Nice shape, lots of room on fairways when hitting from tee, with just enough challenging water and trap placements. Greens are nice too with subtle breaks.

slow play

this course is fairly easy and should not take more than 4 hours on a cart. We only played 17 holes as play was slow and didn't have enough daylight to finish. No Marshall was seen all round.

Excellent Greens, fairways not so much

Played as a twosome and pace was excellent at 3 hours. Seemed overpriced for overall conditions and some really ratty housing around the course. No amenities to speak of and no reason to stay afterwards. Limited staff contact was friendly enough.

Value play with Hot Deal

Greens very nice. Course layout is unique winding through houses and crossing streets but manageable. People friendly. We played first group in morning. 3.5 hours. Chilly but fun.
