Not as his as expected.
Overall pace of play was good but greens were lumpy and long. Needed to be rolled and cut - to slow putting. Got the round at a deal price but even at that considered it too much to pay. I've played this before when the greens were in much better shape!

Slow
It is a resort course, but it’s too expensive for slow play.

Beautiful golf outing
Very nice fore giving resort course. Play it once or twice a year. With this year’s cooler weather mid-day tee time worked perfectly. Mid 70s and quiet 4 hour round.

High quality Palm Desert track
The Palms course at Desert Springs proved to be an excellent challenge for this 18-handicapper. Lots of water to navigate on most fairways. Very picturesque track with beautiful views of The San Jacinto mountains.

Beautiful as always
Greens were a little dry and not perfectly smooth. For the money this course needs to be perfect. Otherwise the course was beautiful.
Multiple people in front of us on the same hole that were playing a bit slow.
