played here 2 wks. ago after playing Legends 2 wks. prior. Courses are fairly similar, we played w/ a couple from Canada, run into Canadians fairly regularly around here and in PS. Champions is a tale of 2 9's, front fairly wide open but still w/ lots of natural vegetation to keep it interesting. The back however looks inticing but is much tighter and seems more exposed to the prevaling winds and has more forced carries and elevation change. Tee boxes are very good as are the fairways, sand traps well you all know the story on those out here, our playing partners asked for some local advice I said stay out of the bunkers. Yea the look hard as a rock, no I said there hard w/ rocks. Greens were solid but a lot of Poa is spotting in making them inconsistent, after the aeration scheduled this month course should be solid tee to green. Combination of quality conditions, very competitive price,we paid $34 on a friday, exciting layout, nary a boring hole found out here, first class facilities, Hard to beat, highly recommend!

formerly Landmark at Hemet course was designed as a retirement community golf course. that said it plays short 6500 max from tips, which we did not play. Course makes up for distance with many bunkers,which are hard as a rock, and six or seven lakes. All said almost every hole is risk-reward. Course is definitly in winter condition and many bare spots abound, especially around the greens, But overall still has green look to it, coot poop helps. The greens were pretty bumpy, not mown today, and you know what you get if you don't mow Poa. $39 for a sunday morning I can't complain it is a fun course with a few unique holes.

Not bad for winter conditions, greens very soft and med speed but very"green". Fairways have a few bare spots but the work that they did last year is still evident. Short tree lined course makes it almost a target golf course as if your on the wrong side of fairway you will be blocked by mature trees. If your in them good luck. $28 this morning makes it well worthwhile.

Old school palm springs golf. traditional stlyle course that is mostly flat and straight forward winding thru condos. Most holes are flanked OB on both sides, but fairways are plenty wide. You still get great vistas on every hole. The experience is great residents out there respect you. My first shot of the day was a weak slice into backyard where dude was reading newspaper, no problem. Another in group was greeted by a man who gave him his ball back. The area gets lively as those who were fortunate enough to wake up hit the streets or bike trails pedestrians everywhere all very polite. Many holes are along streets, but no one blows horn while you hit, unlike here in the IE. Conditions are fabulous probably better that the resort course which cost more. Greens have alot of ball marks, but their repaired ball marks and are relativley quick and smooth. Fairways are perfect not a bare spot to found rough the same and a deep emerald green. 39$ for a sunday in beautiful Palm Springs with some freebies thrown in Priceless!! Yes it's not Silverrock it's old school traditional golf 50\75% cheaper which we all enjoy. Most enjoy island greens here you have a par three playing about 170 fronted by a small lake and bunker a busy street on the right and behind maybe 10 yards from green no nets, bail left nope condo there, thats a nervy tee shot.

The only thing making this not a true links course is there is a lot of water features. Otherwise it plays very firm and fast. Drive one down the middle and it bounces like it hit a cart path. 300yd plus drives common, but not necessarily a good thing as it will run out into burns and mounding which might send them anywhere. The only way to know if your in the fairway or rough is if your in the "paint". The fairways are sprayed with that liquid green fertilizer. Gives the course a good look from afar, but when you get on them it's a strange neon green. Greens are thin but covered no bare spots. Many of the greens here are sloped front to back thus a front pin placement on a downslope is impossible to hold, ya got to run those up. cart have the generic GPS system. Front back and center yardages seem good but burn yardages are iffy at best. more than a few times I noticed 170 to carry burn 200 to front of green when in fact the burn is 5-10 yards from front of green. If you like this style of golf it's well worth the $35 green fee. If you take a big divot your gonna hurt by the middle of the round.

Played in Sunday pigskins game. Course coming out off overseeding, not perfect but good. Greens firm and fast and very small for Palm Springs area. Not the best in area, but most definitly the best deal by far in the area!! Free Beer, Pro V's, Food. What more could you ask for?

have not played here in years, course still great, traps still suck. mostly an aesthetic thing as faces of bunkers are totally hardpan. bottoms are firm with little rocks. considering how large and deep they are, great beach property for the millions of ground squirrels that inhabit them. greens still have some sand on them but roll well, although difficult to read. fairways great and very wide. on and around the greens probably courses main defence.

Played 10-17 course better than it used to be. All low areas that used to be dead now have turf. Short but tight course with lot's of mature tree's. If you don't like Kikuya don't play here, no bump and run an inch short will stop the ball dead. 7 of greens aerated 2 wks ago still hairy and bumpy. 2 greens completely dressed today, look like big bunkers. Overall better than it used to be sums it up. Green fees are low and makes it well worthwhile.

Played Sunday, course OK still a bit wet but playable. I have never seen tight greens roll so slow. Could be the combo of immaturity, dampness, some kind of fungus and hundreds of ball marks on every green! Still I had no 3-putts on some pretty large greens so they look worse than they are.

Course is pretty ratty overall but greens are superb!! $34.50 on golf now for sunday morning pretty superb also!! makes it very worth the trip!! Will try the lakes next.

just finished up at escena, played for 35$ on an aeration special. they aerated on the 10th and although you could see signs greens were still fast and pretty smooth. They rolled them last night and we seen them cutting them this morning. this bodes well for the hot season coming up as their greens will heal before the intense heat hits. most other coachella xalley courses aerate when it's hot and therefore don't heal as fast. this too is a nicklaus course so it is very similar to pga west. most of trouble is around the greens with ample fairways but not quite as penal. long and difficult par 3's. closer and cheaper and probably better aesthetically looking as it is desert orientated. give it a try you will not be dissapointed.
