very relaxing round of golf with friends

The value of the course was augmented by the Golf Now app which charged $48.00 for four persons. The range was a pleasure to use. I like the balls being placed out there instead of lugging buckets. The course is very forgiving for rusty players and yet the greens are among the more challenging in the Valley. We look forward to returning to golf in Indio after travelling from the Nothern climates.

Thank you

Nice day for golf

The tee boxes were a little rough and there were some soggy spots here and there but on the whole it was ok.

Tee boxes are like mine fields no traction in wet muddy sand. Greens had been sanded so a discount should have been offered.
Driving range tees are horrible

Christmas Day not a good choice

Never again will we play on Christmas Day. Many non golfers out on the course, riding around in carts with no clubs and their dogs. Just out accompanying a single golfer. Talking loud on their phones. This should not be allowed.
Also, pace of play should be monitored.
There needs to be a marshall our on the course.
Otherwise we love this little course. And the staff.

Great Course and a lot of fun!

It is a really nice course and the layout is awesome. Fun to play because you can hit driver and there is room for slight error but it will punish you for big misses. Keep the tee shots in play and you can score well. Highly recommend and when I come back next time I will be checking out the Dunes course!

Night golf

Bring a hard hat! Very tight layout and very nearly hit by golf balls several times. It was actually a lot of fun, the beer helped. If you get upset because you or your cart got hit with a golf ball I suggest you pass.

Lack of options

I’ve played the course many times,not because I want to but due to lack of options. I work nights so it’s hard to find time to play. I don’t understand why the course nickel and dimes people. The round was $18,but the cart fee was $24 even for one rider. I had 15 minutes before my tee time,and was being charged $5. To hit a few balls before my round. $5. for a pull cart seems a little high to me as well...especially when they are in such bad condition.

Excellent for practicing your short game.

This is an 18 hole three par course. It is in fair condition and challenging enough for good short game practice or beginners. The staff is very friendly.
