Rode the blues this morning in group 1b with buddies John, Ron and Mark in 4 hours 15 minutes under perfect golf weather high 70s with very little wind. 81 player event that moved nicely as we never had to wait on one shot.

This is the nicest I have seen the course.

Rode the blues this morning in group 1b with buddies John, Ron and Mark in 4 hours 15 minutes under perfect golf weather high 70s with very little wind. 81 player event that moved nicely as we never had to wait on one shot.

This is the nicest I have seen the course.

Very lush thick kikuya fairways that were a joy to hit from. Perfect lies all day. Fairways 9/10

Rough was also thick and lush and probably 4-6 inches in most places. Rated 9/10

Was only in one greenside bunker left on 3 that was raked perfectly and in great shape. Rated 8/10

Tees were all very lush and mainly level. Rated 8.5/10

Greens here are very small on some holes like 1 and 14 and are larger on other holes. They were very receptive and rolling like pure glass. Fairly quick maybe an 11 on the stimp. You can tell they really take pride in their greens here.

The more I play here I enjoy the layout. First two holes are strong dogleg to the left while holes 3 and 13 dogleg to the right. Most holes are narrow here which I enjoy and gives you a nice line to aim ond concentrate on. Like most courses staying below the pins here provide ample scoring opportunities. Get on the wrong side of these green complexes and your chipping skills will be put to the test. The kikuya fringes surrounding the greens grab bump and run chips so most times you do need to fly chips to the green.

Recommended.

played sunday 3/22, 8am shotgun, 4:45 round, forecast for 103 temp. That last hour the temp went up severely. wow. Course in fabulous shape. lush throughout. greens in good shape, true, a fast 10 on the stimp. the more challenging of the 2 courses. still wide fairways, but more danger near the greens on most holes. Fantastic resort, good customer service. restaurant good, 2 car... » More

Fantastic resort, good customer service. restaurant good, 2 cart girls out and about. Both courses are in great shape and fun to play... probably a top 3 golf complex in palm springs. Had a great time.

played fri 3/20, 11am tee time... 109 temp, lord. 4:15 round. one of those things you book months ago, part of a big group, so you play. Was looking forward to getting out here, as it has been like 15 years. Pretty wide open driving course, good size greens.. water and desert features to avoid. Course in pretty good shape... these desert courses aren't hurting for water... » More

Was looking forward to getting out here, as it has been like 15 years. Pretty wide open driving course, good size greens.. water and desert features to avoid. Course in pretty good shape... these desert courses aren't hurting for water... green and lush throughout. Tee boxes look like they are working on, as they were sanded and there was a lot of wear. Greens a little bumpy and slow, like a slow 10, held shots predictably. Bunkers a little worn down; thin and pebbles, but definitely playable. survived, barely. Had fun, other than not wanting to be in the heat.

Great weather dry and hot after Santa Ana conditions the prior week. Tee boxes, fairways were fine with me. Greens were firm and fast with some crazy hole locations. Memo stay below the hole at Los Lagos. Play there now before they punch in April. Oh, POP is always like 5-5.5 hrs.
