Great Layout But Needs Work
Great design but in rough condition. Dirt bunkers not sand bunkers. Mixture of grasses on the fariways and rough.
Maybe try again later in the Spring when the Bermuda grass comes back.
A typically RT Jones great course
Every time I went to Palm Springs area, I always go to Desert Dunes and play there regardless it was windy, cold or hot weather conditions.
I like the RT Jones design, especially this course was more or less a replica of Scottish Links setting. Playing in the wind requires some advanced skill and experiences of windy low ball knowledge.
My friend complained the wind but I told my friend this is the kind of weather people playing golf in Ireland. I took a picture at the stone bridge at the 9th fairway, when I shown the picture to my golf friends, they all thought I was at St. Andrew’s Old Course.
Wind tunnel
Could be a cool track but the wind is an issue. Read the reviews but decided to go anyway cause Palm Springs courses have gotten so expensive. Won’t be going back. Winds were insane.
Nice track and good value but windy.
First time playing here. Very nice track. Greens were a little slow but true. Went out early in a threesome so played fast in 3.5hrs. Strong winds were a bit of an issue. Would love to play it on a calm day. Good value.
Very very mediocre
Not worth the money AT ALL.. after being greeted at the pro shop with a great smile and very polite gentleman I wasn’t greeted at all by the “cart guy” which just asked “what do you need” instead of a good morning or hello. When asked what my last name was I told him,, he then said “what!!” With a look of bothersome like I was interrupting his cheerful morning. Honestly one of the rudest , classless person I’ve ever encountered at a course. After playing about 5 holes which were very, very rough as far as maintenance. The wind began to become overwhelming literally knocking your balk down and even backwards most the time. The course has nothing to do or cannot control weather or Mother Nature but what they can control is the quality and overall up-keeping of their course. Just very poor conditions for that price. Very disappointed after paying almost $100 to play at a course in a highly renowned place and so many other courses around.
An adventure in the Wind
It was an adventure to say the last. The wind was so high that maybe the course should have been closed. Except I had paid I would have cancelled.
Course is not in the best of conditions and makes me wonder if they have anyone on the course.
Greens , while fast look like they are desperate need of a greens doctor.
Pace of play was excellent because there was only a few brave souls out there.
fun day
nobody playing so looked for balls, found 50 while we played, try to play when wind not a concern
staff ok not over friendly,,course ok condition
A little disappointed
Course layout was great. Pace of play great. Staff was friendly. Fairways were very rough, no sand in sand traps and the greens looked as if they had grass disease. So much potential if those three things were addressed
Worth the money
Golfed this course many times this winter well worth it the staff in the clubhouse are great the gentleman issuing the carts could use a smile and better people skills but other than that I will be back next year.
Windy
It is normally windy at the course. I had to quit after nine holes because of the wind.
Windy in DHS
Booked a hot deal over a week in advance. Did not know the weather forecast that far out. Turned out to be a high wind day. I know GN won’t refund, so had to play or be out the $. I like the layout of the course. It’s a challenge for sure. I’m amazed that the maintenance staff is able to keep the course up with all of the wind. Do you really expect sand to stay in the traps? Greens were rolling well but unable to tell how true they are due to the wind. Fairways and tee boxes were decent. Played in under three hours! Will definitely be back but won’t book beyond two days out.
Windy windy
Played the course a few times over the years. Was reasonably priced and ttime availability was good. But last time was 4-5 yrs ago. It has really gone down hill. Would not play it again
Terrible greens
Greens were a mixture of grasses, bumpy, and impossible to read. Important to hit tight fairwaysy off tees. Not worth price in.my opinion.
Past it's prime.
Albeit our first time to this track you can tell at some previous point of time the course was truly magical.
A great windy day
There was about a 25-30 mph wind the entire round but I simply laughed and got on with the game. Played with two ladies that were good and fast, the latter being most important to me regardless of sex. We shared each others misery battling the wind but it became a joint venture to scrape out our pars.
The course was in great shape and the greens were fair and challenging.
Will return but hopefully on a less blustery day
