after playing it several times, the novelty has worn off. its in nice condition, but not worth the price they charge. its ok if uou get it for the replay rate of 100.00, but the nicklaus course is nicer with more challenging holes.

First and foremost, fantastic golfer experience. From the moment you pull up to the front door, staff is there ready to greet you. Pro shop guys were positively excited for you, followed by the man on the first tee. Course was challenging and great fun.

Lands right in the middle of the “beautiful but bank breaking” and “underwhelming but budget friendly” tracks in the Palm Springs area. Was lucky enough to get perfect weather conditions, Palm Springs golf is at its best later winter/early spring.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of La Quinta, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
