Walked the Oranges this morning 9/21/26 at 1140am with my buddy Matt joined by two twin brothers. Very packed course today. When we arrived to the 1st tee there were three groups waiting to hit. Surprisingly once we hit the two groups ahead moved pretty well and we finished in 4 hrs 30 minutes which looked like a 5 plus hour round when starting. Weather was humid to start the 1st 5 holes and when we turned to hole 6 the nice cool breeze picked up and cooled things off really nicely with temps around 75...pretty much perfect golf weather.

Greens were really healthy and approach shots were really soft and receptive. They putted fairly pure but slow maybe between a 9 and 10 on the stimp. They are resodding several sections on the front of number 5 green which is marked as Ground Under Repair..kudos to the course for the maintenance. Overall green rating 7.5/10

Fairways were nice and lush with just minor browning out patches here and there which still played nicely. Fairway rating 7.5/10

Tees looked to all be in good shape level and lush. They were doing maintenance on the back tee box on the short par 3 3rd hole. Tee rating 8/10

Rough was lusher kikuya grass which was manageable just off the fairways and grabby around some of the green complexes and a nice challenge. Rated 8/10

Was in greenside bunkers on 16 and 17 that were in great shape with nicely raked white beach sand. Rated 8.5/10.

As usual Soule provides a great parkland layout with its midsize fairways firing to large Gil Hanse undulating greens where maintenance has a choice to put in like 9 different pin positions. Always above average to great conditions and a great restaurant with a killer view to hang out after the round.

Highly recommended.

Had a work event out in the Palm Springs area this week so went out a day early and decided to snag a 2pm tee time at Indian Canyons. A friend was going to join me out here but had to cancel last minute, so I hit some balls on the driving range and took off a bit early as the course was practically empty with temperatures in the high 90s.

Had a work event out in the Palm Springs area this week so went out a day early and decided to snag a 2pm tee time at Indian Canyons. A friend was going to join me out here but had to cancel last minute, so I hit some balls on the driving range and took off a bit early as the course was practically empty with temperatures in the high 90s.

I can't remember playing a round this quickly but I finished in well under three hours as I only passed two groups on 6 and 15 and they both let me play through. What a treat! I've always enjoyed this fun course as it's not terribly penal or frustrating, but instead it's a laid-back resort course that's short in length (I played the teal tees) but does have plenty of water features and some really nice bunkering.

The course is in pretty darn good late summer shape, but of course in order to keep the greens alive they are quite shaggy and obviously on the slower side. Still, the coverage is good (outside of one or two with some damage) and the green complexes are fun and interesting. The fairways have a few burned out spots but mostly they're playing really nicely, and the rough is great.

Bunkers were in super shape and a joy to play from, even though I did get stuck in the one on 15 far too many times that I want to remember. The tee boxes were in good shape but some were a bit off in terms of being level. Nothing major to complain about, but just an observation.

I'm sure that the course will be in even better shape when the high season comes back around, but for around $60 with a medium bucket of balls to boot, you can't go wrong sneaking in one last summer round here either.

Played 9-17-26 early morning walking as a threesome with a little waiting on groups in front of use, and finishing in around 3 hours and 45 minutes. Tee boxes were in good condition, mostly level with good coverage. Fairways were mostly in good shape with some of them having some small repaired areas that have not quite filled in yet. Rough was lush and thick at about 2-3 inches on most holes. Was in two greenside bunkers that had a good layer of nice brown sand and were well groomed. Greens were in good shape, rolling at a medium pace and mostly smooth, they were playing on the soft side so balls with spin were really zipping back. I know they are punching in a couple of weeks, so nows the time to get out there.

I was looking forward to playing the new golf course. As a guest I was very disappointed in the condition it is in. Where did the 20+ million dollars go in 1 year. They only have 18 holes. I guess 9 holes are in such bad shape they closed it. The GM Tyson needs to be fired. They are asking 60K to join. No way it’s worth that. The overpriced food and 10 dollars for a beer.

Sorry I won’t be joining this private club called Mulholland hills. Also every green has a disease.

Played my usual weekly walking round today on a very cool morning. Fall has arrived here.

But with the cooler weather the course was drier and somewhat more firm in the fairways.

Tee boxes all good.

Traps all clean and playable no issues.

Fairways good coverage lies and decent roll for so early in the AM.

Played my usual weekly walking round today on a very cool morning. Fall has arrived here.

But with the cooler weather the course was drier and somewhat more firm in the fairways.

Tee boxes all good.

Traps all clean and playable no issues.

Fairways good coverage lies and decent roll for so early in the AM.

Little rough around the whole course but there are two decent water hazards on the front you have to be careful with. And some good sized trees.

Greens were all clean and playable and played just fine all round.

As I said before $18 to walk is a great deal to play golf even if it is a shorter course.

Par 67 6 par 3's, 11 par 4's 1 Par 5

Great customer service as always.
