After reading the reviews, I was hesitate to book. However, I found it to be a very enjoyable course with fast greens. You do not want to get into the desert area as you will lose your ball. Shawna, from the beverage cart, really knows how to make a great Bloody Mary and is so pleasant. All the staff seemed to enjoy their jobs and were really nice to interact with. We will be back to play this course again.

I played a couple of weeks ago here on a very windy, gloomy day, and the course was under manicured. The group spent most the day chasing their ball all over the course. With two more weeks passing since last playing, Desert Dunes was not my course of choice this weekend.However, today the course offered, lush turfs, rolling hills, tightly knitted greens, with dry summer breezes.Often looking for my ball through the day, no fault of the course or those breezes. It was just nice to be engulfed by the Coachella Valley desert landscape.

Its been many, many years since Ive played Desert Dunes and I was really excited to get back there as it was a top quality, highly rated, challenging layout. Unfortunately, the decade(s) long golf slowdown, covid19, local competition, etc... may spell the demise for Desert Dunes. The challenging layout and greens were still in play, as was a great greens fee, but the course needs love and more players which might be a catch 22. Without the love the players wont come, and without the players, how can ownership give the course the maintenance it deserves? Im hoping that the arbitrary regulations imposed on small businesses end soon so that a beautiful facility can rebound. I may have met ownership and he seemed like a great guy who wants the best for a once proud golf course. Go play there, have fun, see the positives the course still has. The greens were better at Desert Dunes than another resort course I played the following day. Fingers crossed.

Nice course. Very green and lush. Greens were nicely manicured and very fast.

This is not a place you want to golf. Too many fantastic courses nearby. Desert Dunes used to be one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the owners stopped investing in the course and the greens and fairways have deteriorated significantly. So sad.

Good course to play in season, summer is gets a bit too dried out. Tough conditions when windy. Greens are usually nice.

Desert Dunes is a good course IF the wind is not blowing. It is in decent shape with the greens being the best part.

Golfed a few weekends here. Despite the mild winds the course was nice for the low cost to play. One thing quite disturbing was I noticed the beverage girl by the name of shawndra took cash from her customer and stash it in her pocket. I told one of the cart barn fellas they need to keep an eye on her. I left the course feeling unsettled about the poor management over the beverage cart staff. Off to another course!

Really nice layout for the price. Good variety of holes and even a few with great views of San Jacinto. The fairways and greens are in decent shape but outside of that the course is definitely a bit rough. For the price though, its a nice little course. Check weather reports beforehand though as it can get real windy.

Extremely tough course when the wind is blowing, but I love it.

Fun course, greens need a little help

To entice more flow the should be keep up better. Tee boxes were in bad shape, grass growing through sand traps. Its very difficult already to play with wind but the course conditions hurts more!

Challenging course, but in need of water. A bit surreal playing with the fire in the background.

Great course but the greens need to be better

I golf a lot at a lot of different places.... I would not recommend ever golfing at this course. There is no marshal so there is 6 somes out here. This is the worst golf course I have ever played plain and simple and myself and my peers will never play here again.

A nice course. A great price for a windy and challenging track. Work being done to enhance the experience.

Fun course! Probably was something back in the day,. Needs a little help, maintenance-wise to get up to par again.

Great club, very hard at first, need to play a few times. Very pretty 18 holes of golf, you wont for get it

Challenging course in decent shape. Finished in 3 hours starting at 7:30 am

Cool place to play for cheap . Was super windy though

Very challenging course carved through the desert landscape. No houses, just nature and wildlife. Nothing overstated or tricked up. Each hole plays in harmony with the terrain. It’s a challenge and probably impossible in the wind! It sticks with you and makes you want to return. Strongly recommended.

I heard the course was still open when all other courses were shut down by the Governors mandate to limit non-essential contact. So, I thought, hey - if open, Id play but when I called, they are clearly IGNORING ALL recommendations and even pairing people together on a cart. NO CARE WHATSOEVER regarding the health situation that is plaguing this nation. When asked about the individual carts, they said there would be an extra charge! Can you believe this? Its organizations like this that are helping to spread the virus. BE CAREFUL with this club as they probably dont clean anything either considering its clear they dont care about your health!

Very nice RTJJ layout with challenging fairways. Turf conditions needs work. Greens spotty, but fast. Unfortunately, it seems none of the players are capable of repairing ball marks. Nice bunkering, but they need a lot of work as they seem to be mostly concrete sand with lot of pebbles and have never been turned over. This is a course you need to play more than once to know your way around it. Nice clubhouse. Rated 3 stars just based on condition. Definitely would play again.

I play golf all over and when a Website says open until a certain time you would think that is true. NOT HERE!! Waited at the gate for 30min thinking someone has to answer the phone or something. I got nothing. Wasted my time and gas money thinking this would be a good place to practice. I was wrong. For any golfer, I wouldnt waste your time going. They say the number you can text or call 24/7 with a response, Thats false to. You just remain on hold forever and you never get a text back.... PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR TIME. THEY JUST WANT MONEY AND THATS SAD FOR A REAL GOLFER WHO LOVES THE SPORT. CIMARRON HERE I COME...

For this time of year what with all the rains and all, this is a very good course if not great. I wanted to extend my stay for one more day so I could play here again. There is always next year. Go there, you will not be disappointed.

This used to be a gem, need to get on it ASAP

Great layout. Course has great potential but will require financial investment to bring it to the standard of surrounding courses. The 4 was warranted considering the 59.00 fee that we paid.

Good price but course needs a lot of work

Best course for the price and friendly staff.

Good course.

Perfect conditions on golf course. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very nice views, very nice staff, course in fair to good shape.

Even for the time of year when the grass starts to turn the grounds were pretty good. We hung out at the bar afterward, pretty good food and strong drinks! Definitely worth it for the price!

This is one of my favorite courses when the wind is not blowing

Nice course. No homes on the course to worry about but lots of brush. Greens appeared mottled but played fast and true. Stiff wind on some holes.

Grant Fuhr should be embarrassed about the condition of this course ... from the clubhouse to the course conditions ... by far the worst course I played in the Palm Springs area .. . waste of time and money.

Should be, could be, an awesome course. But...

Course was in rough shape, big weed heads sticking up in fairway. Slow rate of play, with tee times stacked too close. Extremely rude staff! Spend the little bit extra and play one of the many other quality courses in the area.

Good price. Slow Play. If its not the winds... our own inability at game. Id play this over and over ... All day everyday

Overall a very good course. Greens ran true. The sand traps need work. Fairways is good shape. Excellent value.

Excellent service and very attentive staff. No long waiting times nor unexpected problems to deal with. Smooth experience and wonderful time had by all. Will go again highly recommend.

Very nice the greens are in excellent shape and the fairways

Small fairways, great course. Cant wait to play again

Great value and challenging course. Just play on a day when the wind is down

A decent course that has unbelievable deals! Played on Sat. morning for $15.00!!

GM Jose has forever turned me off this course. He is an arrogant and condescending person and is certainly not in a position to be so, as this is certainly not a top tier course for the area. I wanted to offer feedback that it would be helpful if his staff knew as soon as a tournament was booked, thereby blocking out the day, then even folks trying to do advance planning outside the tee time window could plan accordingly. He proceeded to, rather than hear the problem, adopt a completely defensive and confrontational attitude, and lectured me on how tournaments can be booked as little as two weeks in advance, closing a course for the day. I have participated in the advance planning of multiple tournaments, and know that they are pretty much ALWAYS booked months in advance, and a good course will communicate that to their staff, and customers who are inquiring about future dates. I finally hung up when it was evident that all he wanted to do was prove me wrong, and prove himself right.

Played this course whilst on a business trip. Fabulous!! I have played many Robert Trent Jones Jr courses in Europe and really enjoyed this course.

The fare ways were patchy dirt spots

Love this course.

Challenging but the greens were inconsistent.

Service was great but the course need alittle help.

The good is the course. Its in challenging and in decent conditions. Bunkers could use a little work. The bad is the clubhouse and the lack of staff in the clubhouse. Very dated and kind of bare. Resturant was closed (on a Sunday late morning), almost nothing for sale in proshop. think they are going in receivership. Anyway, you can normally find a great price for the golf. Can get very windy here so check the weather. If its too windy its not very fun to play (gets to like a 4 club wind).

Nice not to have to play around houses windy but lots of fun

Seems to always be windy at desert dunes. Bunkers were horrible. Fair ways Pretty beat up

I loved this beautiful place. Attended Wedding. I live in DHS & 1st time. Nice.

Challenging course...for only my 3rd tome out ever. Lol fun

The place of play with very good the golf course in normal condition at this time of year for that area it was good.

Didnt like this type of course . . . too up and down! Not a friendly course for the average golfer.

Beautiful course with Amazing views and wonderful people.

Nice course good people and reasonably priced

Lots of challenges. Great peicing

Fantastic value, especially for a RTJ course.

Desert Dunes Golf Club rated 4-1/2 stars: Just two miles off Interstate 10, as you head-up towards Desert Hot Springs, youll find one of the best of the Coachella Valleys lesser known gems. With the imposing Big Bear and San Jacinto mountains looking down on the course, Desert Dunes is an excellent Robert Trent Jones Jr. design, imbued with a wonderful, open linksy character. As authentic a British links style course as youll find anywhere in the American Southwest - definitely worth a visit.

Great course. Nice staff. Good pace of the game.

The course conditions continue to get better.

Very disappointed in our 18 hole golf game. After 9 holes the second cart in our group was dying so we had to get pushed. They said when we started at hole 10, they would bring us another cart within 3 holes and we never did get one so had to be pushed until finished 18. There was no offering of giving us any compensation for the huge inconvenience and disappointing golf experience. Never again. Looked like finances are lacking at this course. This is prime time and they had very little inventory.

Fun golf course greens needlework

Great course with some challenges. Staff very friendly and helpful

Terrible .. dont bother until New Management of staff and grounds crew. cheap for a reason

Great driving range & good eats at the restaurant!

Worst driving range in desert !

Too cold for a quinceañera!!

Real good test tough course

Ultimately best!!

Was fun

Great golf course and fun to play

Not crowded nice weather nice . vary nice

Fantastic

Lot of potential. Course is in rough shape. Price is right.

Looks dead only see landscapers

Golf cart would not turn!

Very disappointed. When we arrived they only had us as a 3 some. When I said we had 4 the young man on the desk said in a very unprofessional mannerThat he guessed that was are problem as the other time was sold probabl
