This week we headed back west to the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert, CA. Located just outside of Palm Springs this Mecca of golf was visually remarkable. This resort course was truly a treat and at times we got more distracted with the views than playing actual golf! Playing just over 7,000 yards from the tips this par 71 was truly a dog.
500 yard par 4’s and 600 yard par 5’s really test your game off the T. With any miss of a fairway you were looking at a long iron shot or even more at times into the greens. The greens were magnificent and rolled true. Because long iron shots into the green were common at this course line of flight was huge to try and save yards off the Tee.
Our favorite part of this course wasn’t even golf! The views were just incredible from our perspective. With snow capped mountains in the distance and blue skies we got lost in the ambiance. What more can you ask for in a round of golf?! Lush green fairways, beautiful backdrops, manicured greens. To say we were short of impressed would be an understatement.
We really enjoyed this as our first stop to the valley and can not wait to get back and play this course again!!! If you get a chance to play this GEM do not pass it up.
