Played 7/31/13 Remote, Beautiful, Challenging, Scenic.


11 am round for $44 GolfNow. First time playing here as was for the others in my group. This place isn't like anything in the North SD or North East County that I've eve played. It has a links feel to it as none (I think) of the fairways touch, totally carved from the natural landscape and lots of rolling undulation in the fairways. This course is quite difficult and considerable more so if you've never played there.

The front nine is easier than the back but still a challenge. Most holes have elevated greens so run ups are not possible. Ball placement is important however with many blind tee shots you will not no where to hit, unless you have a guide...Greens were quick and true. Service was fine, started was very friendly. No Cart girl but the place is so stretched out that doesn't surprise me.

Overall you have to play to see this unique place. No houses or roads around. Incredibly quiet and amazingly scenic. I'd have more fun and a better score the second time around just for shot placement. Play with someone who knows the course and you'll have a huge advantage and more fun.

Played 7/24/13 Beautiful, challenging, play it!!

First time here and it was a blast. Awesome layout with no house around the course. Lots of undulation and mild elevation changes. Rolling and sometimes mounding fairways. Definetly helps to know where to hit it. However if it's your first time the GPS in the cart is the best I've seen. Friendly staff, ice chest on cart with 4 bottles of water...none on the course though. Grass range. This place is great. $39 off season rate that is the same all day. Played as a foursome in under four hours with one beginner.

Played 7/23/13 Cool, old school, fun.

2nd round for the day. $25 golnow, worth it. Interesting experience as we got there and told we'd need to be done by 7...had to. Well that gave us 2:50 min and we did it. I'd prefered to know that at time of reservation but it's cool. Only one other group on the course so they need to get the staff outta there.
Tons of Palm Springs history and tradition here. Classic doglegs with tons of palm tree lined fairways. Fun layout bit nothing surprising. The neighborhood and houses that surround the property are all mid century and very well kept so you have a feel of playing back un the day and may need a icy martini when your done.
Greens were pretty fast even though it was humid. Some of the bunkers had new beautiful bright white sand in them but others didn't, you could see maintnence going on so it looked they'd all be filled soon. Clean fairways and tee boxes.
All in all its a fun slice of nostalgia, for the rate it was totally worth it.

Played 7/23/13 Great experience all the way around. Steal at $25 Golf Now 9:25. Fast round at 3hrs 20min. Pretty wide open. First time playing here and came recommended from a buddy that lives in Indio. Loved it. First class place from the entrance on. Recently renovated with a modern retro feel of the 50's the style of the property is awesome. Friendly staff, great restaurant and polished facilities. Only taking times up till 11am for off season. I ended up playing here 2x as it was so enjoyable. Mostly generous fairways however its succeptable to wind so not all are easy reaches. Nice tee boxes, perfect fairways, bunkers pretty good, greens nice but on the slow side. Just an approachable and fun track with a beautiful and stylish vibe.

7/22/13 4pm start. $20 Golf Now. Sweaty humid hot. Course was pretty beat up. Very fast round of just over 3 hours. Honestly wouldn't consider it again as for this time of year there are so many tracks to play in this area for under $40 this isn't in the running. The only thing I'll say as that the overall poor maintenence may have been affected by thunderstorms the 2 previous days. I encountered shaggy greens, grown over cups, long shaggy fairways and lots of bare spots. Bunkers were unplayable. The staff was friendly however and the practice facility is grass with plenty to shoot at.

This is my favorite course in North County. I play there all the time and it is always in great shape. The quality of the course/condition for the price is unmatched anywhere in the area. Staff is always friendly and pace of play is great.

Everyone freaked out when JC Resorts managment left in Jan 2010. I was worried as well having had a JC card for 4 years and this was the main course I played. Since the change there has been nothing negative whatsoever. The rates are the same as JC players paid before and the quality is exactly the same if not better.

Played at 9:30 am. Course was busy but they kept things organized and moving. Super fun course at good price. Can be unusually long from all tees. Play the tee with the slope you are used to playing. This was my favorite of the 4 courses I played over the weekend. Decent grass practice facility, balls included. The starter and range are away from the clubhouse a ways. You do pass the club house again on #8. 2 water bottles are provided with a cooler full of ice. There are plenty of places to fill up your bottles out on the course. I wil definetly go back.

8/16/08, 2nd round of the day (1st at Norman) Pretty hot at 3:45 pm start, 112 degrees. Course was spread out didn't wait but a few times. I like this one much better than Dunes. Picturesque with the mountains along side of you. Cousre played well with the exception of a couple bare spots on greens and some cart part construction on #15. Good for my skill level.

Played at 8:30 am. Stayed cool enough on the front nine then up to 110 by the turn. Surprisingly busy for this time of year, over 5 hour round. Nice facility all around. Grass practice area with good range balls included. Cooler on cart, you fill own ice and water from dispenser at cart barn. Nice challenging layout, desert style course. Advisable to bring a beater club as the washes can be hard with small pebbles. Greens were sharp and rolling true. If you are on target here you'll do fine. Not too long but premium on shot placement. I'd play again.

Played at 3:30 pm. Blazing hot 115 degrees and no one around. One of 4 groups on the course. Nice facility all around. Grass practice area with good range balls included. Zipper cooler stocked with 8 water bottles and fresh towels. Nice challenging layout, overall everything was in good shape, greens were a bit shaggy though. Things have a newly opened feel to them and there is almost nothing surrounding the course. I heard they are planning to build a hotel to add on. I don't know that I'd pay the rack rate of $115-125 to play there but it was definitely worth putting into a multi course play package.

Did the play and stay package for $139 pp on monday 3/12 and tues 3/13. Played 36 each day and it is a very fair price for what you get. Started noon on monday and thought we'd get in 18 or maybe 27, but it was wide open and played 36 with plenty of light left. Tuesday was the exact opposite as we teed off at 8:30am first and it was a 5.5 hour round. Second round was the same.

The course was in much better condition than the reviews showed. Tee boxxes were nice and the rough was lush and difficult although there was alot of cut grass left from the mower. The greens were in good shape but a bit bumpy. Only trouble was with some bare spots on a few fairways and these seemed to be filling in quickly.

I don't know that I would play at full rate yet, but the unlimited stay and play package was a great deal. The restaraunt and snack bar are also great as food quality and atmosphere was nice and staff was friendly.

I played for the first time 11/15/04. I had a great time! The course was in great shape, everything was very green!!!! Just tough enough to make it fun, but not pro-style. There are a few tricky holes, especially 18. I'm used to playing Wilson/Harding, and this was 5x better. The staff was friendly, and the green fees are dirt cheap 21.50. Walked it in just under 5 hours, a relaxed pace, no rushing or waiting. I highly recomend it.
