Shotgun Start Was Excellent

We were concerned that play would be very slow since this was a shotgun start event, but the staff at the course obviously knows how to make this work. We played in a foursome of average to above average recreational golfers and finished in just over 4 hours. We were very impressed!

Great little course. Definitely caters to the locals. We will be back. Next time I will bring some beer and food though because there are no services at this course. You can have water only. There is talk of a beverage cart but it’s like big foot. May be a few sightings but I don’t believe it exists. Only course I have ever been to that you cannot buy a beer and a hot dog. Will know for next time though.

Really nice course shotgun start is different but worked out today

This is one of our favorite courses in the Palm Springs are after only play twice. Very wide, fairways and greens in very good condition and the rough was also green and consistent.

We really enjoyed this course and even with the shotgun start which seems to be typical at this course. We were the second foursome placed on the second TEe. So we had to wait for the people in front of us to tee off before we could. We expect the play to be pretty slow all day however, people seem to be pretty conscientious and play was good taking four hours to complete our 18 holes. It is a bit daunting at first when you play and show up and there are dozens of people lining up carts and many people on the putting gree trying to warm up. We got one of the last carts available even though we arrived 20 minutes early from our teatime. So the first time we go make sure you get there at least 30 minutes ahead of your start.

Weekly will try to play again for sure. Next time we return to the area.

The course was in good shape the greens a little bumpy my biggest complaint is it took me more than 30 minutes to get into the gate. And nobody cares about how long it takes so I missed my teatime by 10 minutes.

Lovely course, unwelcoming staff

I joined a shotgun start of mostly members and had a great day on the course. The greens didn't seem to run true, but the course is in very good condition. It was a very enjoyable experience except for our check-in as the staff made me feel as if I was imposing on their day. Best thing was we finished the round in 4 hours and the weather was perfect.

Great staff and easy to play course

The staff ( fashionable and cool lady) was so great
One of my friend’s brother passed away when we were there and had to leave the course.
So we were back to the starter and sent him home and asked the lady at the starter to see if we can play for the start.
She kindly accommodated us to play from the start.
Very friendly and courteous.
Highly respectful lady.
I will recommend to all my friends and will go again and play.
The course layout is good to great. And easy to play.
Greatly maintained course.

Well Maintained Course

Booked a 1 pm tee time through GolfNow, but didn’t realize it was a shotgun start, which was OK. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape, but the greens had recently been dressed and were quite dry when we started the round. By the time we finished the round, the greens were completely brown, and did not roll good at all. We enjoyed the course, but the condition on the greens were a negative for us.
