Played Sat 6/10, 8am shotgun scramble. Course in good shape. greens running a slow 10. mostly true. The last 5-6 times I've played here over the last 3 years has been mostly consistent: good muni shape, puttable, if not slow greens, decent pace of play.

Played Sunday, 9am shotgun. It was the 8 inch cup scramble. Only catch was greens were punched 5 days ago. Unbearably slow and sticky... but not too bumpy.. they rolled decent, you just had to hammer it. Left putts short all day, despite hitting them hard. But of course, made a lot of putts in the big cup. The rest of the course was in pristine shape (aside from some maintenance on the alternate fairway of 15. Customer service is always great. Tournament organization is smooth. And bonus, I got a voucher to come back for $300/foursome, at this $200 rack rate course. Best course in the Sacramento area, and a top course in Nor Cal.

Played Sat 7:50 AM, June 3, joined a 3 some; 5 hour round. course in good shape. Greens a slow 10, firm. a little bumpy if you don't fix the spike marks. Bunkers mostly raked and taken care of. Slow round for a 8am tee time. I always enjoy this track when I play.

Played Sat 4/1, 9am tee time. 5 hr round. Beautiful day with GKers alex and roarksown... last rain was 3 days earlier, and no sign of any of the rain we've been having. Greens were punched 5 days earlier, and they are recovering nicely. We got a nice pebble beach sized discount to match (still not cheap!). But they rolled mostly true, slower than usual, not really bumpy, i had one putt moved slightly off line cost me a bird. They should be really good in 2 weeks. The rest of the course was in its usual pristine shape. So overall, a great experience, slightly lowered by the maintenance, but that was more than offset by the discount, great course, and great company. Always feel blessed I get to tee it up at this bucket list course.

Played Sunday 2/5, 8am shotgun; cold morning, hot day. More forgiving than the Firecliff. Not as many bunkers and easier off the tee. Greens seemed inconsistent... front 9 they were sticky, back 9, they couldn't hold anything. Had a great time nonetheless. And course in fabulous shape otherwise. I could play here everyday.

Played Sat 2/4, 8am shotgun, cold morning, hot day. Greens running a slow 11, firm and true. Course in fabulous shape. Wonderful track with lots of bunkers, quite a bit of water in play. I could play here everyday.

Played Fri 2/3, 12pm, 4 1/2 hr round... greens running about a 10, firm and true. Fun routing, typical palm springs layout, but not overly difficult. Course not long... a big dry drainage river runs through it, so several of the holes runs up and down over it. We played the N/S... the W I think was closed, as they are doing some kind of extensive work... maybe a drainage project. The Driving range is not open for the same reason. There were several areas of fairways in disrepair, and we played those GUR. We were comparing the courses to Vegas. This was definitely old school Palm Springs golf... older resort, older course... like the Flamingo, while the Classic club is like the Winn. Desert Willow is like the Bellagio. But overall had a fun time and wouldn't be mad if I played here again.

Played 11/12 Sat 7am tee time. Cold morning. 3:45 hr rd. Pretty interesting fun track in average muni shape. Short course, 6200 from the back (the tips were closed at 6500). A few holes that were short but uphill, so were tough... and a few that had downhill tee shots, including the opening tee shot, which is pretty fun... so it played to the 6200. Greens about a 9 uphill, 10 downhill... bumpy throughout the course. I had a hard time getting the ball to the hole, so I wish I could have a do over on putting. Tee boxes were beat up. The rest of the course pretty playable. Driving range really beat up. It's one of the cheaper options in the area... and it's fun enough to play again. Just don't expect a vacation resort experience like the rest of the area. I'd rather play Poppy for the NCGA price... but this place is great in a pinch.

Played Sat 10/22, shotgun scramble. Course is in really good shape. Greens are smooth and true, probably a slow 10 on stimp. Fairways are in great shape. A 9/10 on the muni conditions scale. A 7/10 compared to your typical country club. A 5/10 for layout. Had a great time.

Played Tues Oct 18, 7:50 tee time; cold morning that warmed up by hole 7. I've always felt these courses are decent tracks with gimmicky greens. You need to play here regularly to learn the course and score well. So much course management and shot placement needed. So if you play here once every 3-7 years, like me, it's not fun hitting good shots into bad places. Add to that: like the last review noted, this course is not being kept up. In our outing of 20 guys, if I knew the conditions of the fairways, I would've proposed lift,clean,place. Lots of bare and spotty parts in the fairway. Greens were diabolical, and seemed inconsistent.. at least I couldn't figure out if it was me, the grain, or the greenskeeping. My guess is the Bayonet side is more popular and regarded, so it's in better shape. They were doing a college tournament there at the same time, so that's my bet. Anyways, not a horrible day. Drink cart girl was nice and came around a bunch. Food in the restaurant was great. Had a good time. But rather play Poppy.

Played Mon 10/17, 12:10 tee time; walked with caddy in 5:15. Beautiful day. Aside from the seagull excrement smell on holes 2-5, perfect day. Course in typical great shape. Greens running about an 11. Nothing more to be said. Always feel blessed to be playing here when I get to.

Played Sun 10/16, 12:30 tee time, 4:45 round. Nice sunny day with an occasional 1 club wind. Course in rough shape. Like the reviewer before, Greens were great and consistent.. tough, fast; Fairways in good shape.. except for the lack of sand, and the ensuing plethora of unfilled divots. And then the rough was ridiculously not rough. Where there was rough: it was hairy and sticky... but most of the course looked like it was torn up intentionally. Sandy dunes... It was an automatic bogey, if not double, because you would not have a hittable lie. Might as well red stake it. Our outing organizer says they told him they plan on reseeding with different grass.. that's why it was like that... but since May? We'll see. Restaurant is still closed, they have some sandwiches and hot dogs on the cart. There is no driving range... so if I knew that, I would've driven over to the Pebble Beach range. It's a nice layout, and could be lots of fun. But for now, it's a stay away unless you have no other choices or if they reduce the rate.
