Played Monday so lucky only 85 out with a small breeze. If you never played here it is an inland links style course, very few trees and most holes right in front of you. Greens were very true and some are very large , a few had breaks but most putts ran very straight. (we have played here for years and everyone always says they make more long puts at Cimarron than anywhere). Par 71 with fairway lies like driving range mats for the most part, some summer brown dry spots. Chipping around the greens is like cheating, nice clean not tight lies, just enough grass you think you know what your doing for a change. Maybe not a course for the real low handicapper but a lot of fun for the rest. Warning once heat hits 110 this maynot be the place as shade is a permium.

On Tuesday played Mission Lakes in Desert Hot Springs. They had a shoot gun start at 7:30. Course is in great shape, fairways have good coverage and still green, Greens were almost completely recovered from punch and a bit slow but very true. Bunkers around greens have very playable sand. Course is owned by home owners and open to the public during the summer. Some days they have a 7:30 shotgun instead of tee times. Very much the quality of most public courses in Palm Springs Valley about a 20 minute ride from Palm Springs.

Wigwam Golf Resort just out side of Scottsdale AZ, Grass, what a place three 18 hole courses spread out in what looks like miles. WE played the Gold course which is suppose to be the hardest but playing more foreword tees it was nothing; but fun. Greens were great and on fairways coverage was close to 100%, rough was just fairway about half inch higher trees lining a lot of the fairways, you could hit it through the trees and end up with a nice lie in the fairway of another one of the courses at times. Great practice area quality putting and Chip/pitching greens. Driving range newer mats with both fine and thick artificial turf and good range balls. (this is one of those courses, huge area, you ask where do they get the water and how many people are mowing all that grass?) Played a few other courses last week in Scottsdale tho nice layouts the fairways and greens were already under summer type stress already with lots of spots in fairways where winter overseed had died and summer grass not yet covering.

Played palms with 3 very nice gentlemen and that was by far best part of the day. Course has good coverage for most part so lies are good tee to green. Greens a week or two from being back in shape after punching, greens also have good coverage and when healed will be a positive for course. Green side bunkers are fine, fairway bunkers just hard dirt. Course seems to be very well liked by locals and gets plenty of play, as a course you would drive a good distance to play strong NO if quality of course is important to you, if you are interested in playing a somewhat interesting set up YES. Maybe a little hard for women and very high handicap players.

Course is only in ok shape for this time of year, good fairway coverage and greens are still good. Just not as good a shape for this time of year in desert. Course is for sale again we were told and for a Thursday there was very few players on the course.

Simple, first time playing there you may find it in bad shape and hard to play, but once you know the course and where to it hit your shots it is not bad for the money at all. We played here for a second time and knowing where not to hit your tee shots made a big difference, yes some holes are tight and houses near, greens small (less putts) but being an uphill down hill course it has enough challenges to make the round worth it. Not a place for someone who counts on a long drive every hole. If you are wild off every tee you may not find this the place for you but if you can hit spots and have good distance control you can score good. We as many gave this place a bad review after one round, but the second round we found much better with a little course knowledge. No sand traps (a plus for me) lets call this the course for someone not looking for a pristine course or a flat long hitters course, this is a public up hill down hill rough shape course that will give you plenty of NON level lies to hit from.

Played Seven Hills a month ago and than again today. Course has improved a lot. Fairways very playable, and greens in best shape I have seen there in years. Old style flat course, has tee box's (gold) short enough for women and distance challenged golfer's to score and enjoy. Most greens fairly small and bunkers around greens in good shape. A really good course for the mid handicapper that would like to break 80 for a change. May not be the best choice for the 300 yard hitter, you will wait a lot. Always enjoy this very scorable course and right now in good shape for the price. (Week day $47with cart).

Played on Thanksgiving, course in good shape. Excellent driving range included in the $125 green fee, a steal this time of year for a course this good in the Desert Area. Course was busy and we still made it in 4hours 15 minutes. Greens a little slow, front nine a few strokes harder than the back nine. A good mixture of long holes and shorter ones, real short par 4 #11 and #15. Bunkers around greens were great for a change, fairway bunkers were good but for some reason some had weeds growing in them which was strange as the rest of the course is in great condition. Rough was not high at all but most holes if you miss playing area your ball is gone as vegetation is thick and not playable (or finding your ball) possible. Highly recommend if your going to try and play out in the Desert Area where many are over or closer to $200 during this time of year.

2 stars out of 5. Fairways two many spots filled with water and mud, bunkers a mix of dirt, weeds and water. Greens ok for now a little fast but rolling pretty true. Carts, nice, but today as happens too often here the GPS says to the pin, but more than half the holes the pins were not where the GPS said they were (guess no one knows how to set that feature when they move the holes). Have played the course for years and like the layout of the Legends side but it just keeps getting worse.

Played Dos Lagos with friend Tuesday, first time for him and I told him he would do great as his tee shots are down the middle (he did 80) Course is in good shape as far as most lies are good in fairway and greens are nice and full. Bunkers have more sand then most public courses. Just seems to play a lot longer than score card says, the 6 par 3's and two short par 4's are nice but long par 5's do play long. (from Whites). Course was fun, no houses within reach and some wide open fairways on the back nine.

Played Here Friday, another course in the Desert that has improved to excellent shape in the last 3 years. We had played Shadow Hills South in Indio in the AM (It is in excellent shape also) and here on the Resort course at 1PM. Only about 102 out and course was almost empty. NOTHING in the inland empire compares to the shape these desert courses are in.

Played Saturday in 3 hours at 9 AM. Had not played here in 8 years. Course is 100% perfect, they have used an abundance of sod to fix any spots needing repair and it has worked out very well. Long hitters can score low here, and us short hitter on foreword tees get to hit a lot of shorter irons into greens making scoring good for us. Course goes through a very nice gated community but is amazingly laid out so the homes, better than most, do not crowed play. As with many Palm Desert area courses it is open to the public a very short time in summer and just worth the effort to play in the 100 degree plus weather.
