The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A par-72 with spacious fairways, mature trees and water on about half the holes, set on fairly level ground that golfers describe as forgiving and welcoming to all levels while still offering some strategic challenge. The signature is a forced-carry par 3 to a well-bunkered island green with no bailout.
Consistently praised
- Wide fairways, large greens and ample recovery room reward solid play without overpunishing.
- Friendly service, a palm-lined setting and a complete practice facility.
Worth knowing
- Conditions can vary, and some find the layout pleasant but not especially distinctive.
Golfers recommend
- The island-green par 3 demands a committed carry with no bailout, so club up.
- Do not confuse it with the nearby Palm Desert Country Club.
