The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The oldest course in the Coachella Valley, a flat nine-hole layout at the foot of Mount San Jacinto that golfers treasure for its 1920s history, quaint old-school charm and relaxed no-tee-time atmosphere rather than for difficulty. A heritage walk more than a stiff test.
Consistently praised
- Deep 1920s history as the valley’s oldest course, with a memorable hand-built rock wall.
- A relaxed, unpretentious vibe with a walk-on feel and mountain views.
Worth knowing
- Very short and simple, so stronger players will not find much challenge; access leans private.
Golfers recommend
- Come for the history and the stroll, not for a stern test of your game.
- Plan how you will get on before counting on a round.
