I played a morning time here on 05/27/12 from the Gold tees at 71.3/124/6643. The course is a good development course and like a lot of the courses in the Palm Springs area there are homes surrounding many of the holes. However, it required a pretty wayward shot on many of those holes for the homes to come into play. What is nice is that it isn’t a true desert layout. The course was in great shape for this time of year (granted most Troon managed courses are in good shape) with no burnt out patches and the greens were the best of any of the five courses that I played on my trip. I did not make many putts, but that was due to my inability to pick up on the subtle breaks. The par 3’s, although short from the tees that I played, set up well. My favorite hole was the 5th which is a 160 yard par 3 that played downhill. It was highlighted by a large water feature on the tee and short of the green. While not overly difficult on the rating and slope, water came into play on many holes so a high number could be had if not hitting it well. The course has a great finishing hole, a dog leg right, with water all down the right side. It was flat so it could be walkable at the right time of year and it was a relaxing course to play without any hidden tricks. The value was average for a weekend morning this time of year at $75. If someone could play an afternoon time when rates drop then the course is definitely a good play. Finally, the practice facility is top notch with a large driving range, couple practice greens, and a well rolling putting green.
