This course some four or five years ago was always one of the best in the Coachella Valley for quality and conditions. Three years ago, the course was sold and the new owners have let the course fall into one of the worst in the valley. Not only has the course fallen into disrepair, but the club house, restaurant and overall ambiance of the golf experience is depressing. Even worst, management has changed five times with no continuity in place. Hopefully the owners will notice they have failed the community golfers and public. Sad for a golf course that at one time hosted the Skins Game.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
