Played this course as part of a marathon 9-rounds in 5 days trip I took to the Coachella Valley.

Very well-maintained golf course set within a housing development. This course has an excellent practice/warm-up area. On this day we started on hole #10.

CONDITIONS: Very well maintained. Tee, fairways, rough and greens are all in great condition. Bunkers were fantastic as well. Top notch groundskeeping.

VALUE: My deal time was over $100, which I guess is fair for the area and time of year. Not sure what full fare is but if you got it, go ahead and spend it.

LAYOUT: Well, that’s the thing. The greens are well maintained, rolled true and have enough undulation to keep your attention. The bunkers were perfect. Everything else was great too… except that there are no memorable holes. Maybe #18. Everything just sort of felt the same… desert template set within housing development. On the scorecard you’ll see #16 and #17 are back-to-back par 3s. No, #16 should be a par 3.5.

That being said, I don’t know if the allow it but if I were to play here again I would ask to walk the course.

FRIENDLINESS: Very friendly and helpful.

PACE: We were the first ones off on #10, but did catch up to groups that were sent off on #1 when we made our turn. Finished in 4 hours 10 minutes.

DIFFICULTY: For the most part, the course is wide and forgiving. Unforced errors are what will ruin your scorecard.

Great Course.

From range to hole 18, no complaints.
Backed up a bit at 16 but otherwise good flow.
18 is my favourite.

Great Course Best Value in Indio

Gorgeous course for public. A bit crowded, and possibly had a tournament or event going, as they seemed to be starting on both 1 and 10? Tee time was 1:50pm, but they got us out a bit early, probably like 1:40. No group behind us after the front 9. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Quite a few bunkers, also in good condition. No rush as we were last group on back 9, so could've played a bit faster. Just finished as it was getting almost too dark to play any more. Driving range is very nice also. Will definitely visit regularly.

Nice fairways

Course was in nice shape after some recent rain. The fairway grass was so consistent and lush. Enjoyed the course … the staff clearly kept a busy schedule and didn’t feel like they were too concerned about my experience.

Great course and pleasant amenities. Course was great even after a rain event. Great layout and conditions, easy to play and challenging at the same time. Staff was very courteous.

Nice range too! Highly recommend, can't wait to play it again.

Nice, well groomed, course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in good condition. Pace of play was very good. We teed off at 1:10 pm and were off in 4 hours. Would definitely play again.

Great day and slow

Course was in good shape and had a good layout. The staff except for the snack bar didn't want to be there. The play was very slow and they were sending groups off on #1 and #10. Which meant we when we tee off we had a foursome from the turn waiting on us. Will not play there again!

Typical 55+ Community Course

Nothing too exciting to play but tee decks for everyone. Greens are slow but hold irons well. Huge fairways to hit too. Everything in pretty good shape for a busy course. First time we played in 4 hours which was a pleasant surprise.

Great course near Palm Springs

First time playing and we totally enjoyed it. Challenging greens, fairways in excellent shape, Bunkers in great shape. Just enough water to make it interesting. Great view of mountains. Added bonus, was we played with two people who lived there and knew the course! Very helpful and very friendly
