Excellent all-around course. I traveled about 2 hours to get here after reading about all the positive feedback. The practice facility is one I wish more courses would adopt. Beautiful grass driving range with all the range balls you could ask for. Exceptional practice green coupled with the outstanding service makes your pre-tee time experience enjoyable. Played on a Sunday and finished just under 4 hours. The tee boxes and fairways were very well kept. The greens rolled true with the exception of some careless ball marks. I really enjoyed the layout. #4 is an outstanding Par 5, and in my opinion is the standout of the course. Split fairways with a small creek running through the middle finishing up on an elevated green. Overall, it's a great value course with wonderful conditions that all handicaps would enjoy.

Played on 7/09. I have played this course numerous times since it's a local joint and I can walk with a military discount for $14. The layout is pretty straight forward, nothing in the way of trickery. I could live without the houses pushing the sides of the fairways throughout, but that is very minute. Holes 3 and 16 are the standouts in my opinion. Both are very nice, long, dogleg par 5s. Not much water, only on the 18th. The fairways are always in good shape, with the same to be said about the rough and tee boxes. The great thing about this course is the condition of the greens. They are always excellent which is hard to imagine considering the climate and the price to play. Expect to play fairly quickly, I have never pushed past 4 hours. Overall, it's an average layout with good conditions and a price you cannot beat.

Played on 7/08 and it was hot!!! Nevertheless, overall I enjoyed the course. The service was very good and the practice facilities were overwhelmingly great. Huge driving range with an outstanding chipping/pitching section and enough practice greens to suit a tournament. The golf course has a very enjoyable layout. It's not overly difficult with Faldo's huge fairways. I am telling you it is near impossible to miss a fairway on this course. The tee boxes, fairways, and rough are perfect. The problem was that the greens are recovering from aeration and the bunkers were pretty poor in some sections. They are bare and not well groomed. If you are a low to mid handicapper, don't expect too much of a challenge. Each hole is pretty straight forward. Holes 9, 10, 16 and 18 are excellent and the standouts of the course. Enjoy the twilight prices while you can. I won't go overboard on this course but I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some solid Palm Springs golf.

Played on 02 July. This course is ridiculous in so many ways. But before you think I am going to rip this place apart, read on. I showed up at about 9:30a, for a 12:30 tee time (twilight). Hit the range for about an hour which might I say was dissapointing in the fact that it was irons-only. The practice green was very small with only 4 holes and not much slope. When the starter saw I was done messing around he approached me and asked if I wanted to get my round started. Nice touch considering it is $30 extra when you play before their twilight rates. I played as a single all day and didn't run into any groups. That was also a plus. Now, to the course... stunning visual layout. If you are here to play a unique, completely non-traditional course where your digital camera will get a lot of work, then this is your place. The problem here is some of these holes are almost carnival-like. I can almost guarantee that you will save 10 shots the second time you play this place because of the design. I can't remember how many times I watched or approached my tee shot and thought to myself, "what the hell"? The course conditions are pretty nice. Fairways, rough and bunkers are well groomed. The greens are very undulating but suffer from divot problems. I would venture to say that is from golf balls practically soaring down from the clouds considering most approach shots. Overall, I found the course somewhat funny. You'll understand once you play. I would recommend it to solid players wanting something different. High-handicappers don't even bother. I'll come back to see my score of 79 drop to about 72 because of what I learned from my first time. All in all: good conditions, good service, scenic but ridiculous layout.

Played on 01 July and I am devastated that this place is going private. Absolutely excellent course, all around. Top notch service, you're treated like a member from the time you arrive until your round concludes. Completely gated course from the entrance which gives you a nice, private feeling. Driving range and practice areas are gorgeous. Conditions of the course are astonishing considering the summer temperatures. Perfect tee boxes, faiways, and rough. The plus part of this course are the greens. I can't remember the last round I played where I did not have a single putt all day that skipped or bumped on its way to the whole. That was something that will stick in my mind. Last three holes are a sight to be seen with the black lava surrounding the holes from tee to green. All in all, excellent course, well worth the drive. An absolute must-play before it goes private. Hurry!!!

Played as a single on 6/23 with a 9:05am tee time. I got paired up with two good dudes and the round was very enjoyable. To echo the sentiments of others, the course has exceptional scenery, it's generally a great time to watch your ball in mid-flight (if you hit it straight) cut through the rock quarry. The greens had a light layer of sand in most spots but in didn't mess much with putting line. I found the front nine much more difficult than the back (42/35), but then again that may have had much to do with my bi-polar scoring. Great service from the proshop, cart girl, and staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the round and will come back at my next opportunity, highly recommended to all socal golfers, of any handicap.

Just played on April 29th, and it was a treat. Signed up for some sort of golf package and one of the course pros accompanied our foursome for the first five holes. It was helpful as she was able to provide some insight on the course layout and roll of the greens. Pace of play was somewhat slow (5hrs). That was mostly due to it being a Saturday, but I didn't mind as the scenery was gorgeous. Played from the back tees and the course proved to be a real bear. I was very happy with the conditions, the only gripe I would have would be that the rough was very, very forgiving. There was really no penalty for missing the fairway. The staff was very friendly, top notch country club. A must-play for those interested.

If it weren't for the lack of 18 hole courses around the area I would have never played this one. No challenges, and the conditions were abysmal. Hard dirt and burnt grass encompasses the rough, and patchy grass is what they call the fairway. The greens were not puttable in most cases. I would stay away from this one until they decide to put some time into the conditions.

Good value course. Greens rolled true and the fairways and rough were in good shape. The front nine provides some undulating fairways and tee to green challenges. But then comes the back nine, there happens to be train tracks and the I-215 all around you. So it can get pretty noisy. It's also pretty flat and provides little challenge. Service was fair, nothing to complain about. But overall, it's a decent play for the cost
