I was visiting from out of town and had a really enjoyable round here. It was extremely windy but the course was well maintained and the views were amazing. I paid $89 for the round, $45 for rental clubs, and $25 for a ride-along. The rental clubs were brand new and really nice so I felt like that was good value.

Windy beyond being enjoyable. quit after 9 holes. Course was ok... but just missing setup to shelter the wind. Cannot blame the course for the weather, but it is also just built in a spot where wind will almost always be a problem. So pick your spots.. and try to catch it on a good day.

If the UK was hot & dry with an occasional monsoon summer. You would think you were somewhere in the British isles playing golf. I guess if you play this course during the Palm Springs winter you can truly feel like you were playing the British Open. This course has seen its fair share of eras. When I was a teenager that couldn't afford to play here. I made it my practice facility. Back then it was a virtual who's who in golf playing there. Then I really didn't play golf all that much for many years. Coming back to the game has brought me back to Desert Dunes. The facility definitely needs som…

Had an amazing time for my first time at the course. The course was in pretty good shape for the time of year. The greens were super fast as expected. The pin placements were quite harsh on some holes so that made it a bit frustrating but that's golf. The course is quite challenging and for the price , it's a great place to try your luck. Be for warned though, the north side of the highway is as windy as everyone says so be prepared.

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.

Fun course, lots of hills and nice Fairways. Greens are a little rough. But can’t beat it for the price. I’ll come back.

Great Value for a decent course with some hills and natural vegetation unlike your typical flat desert country club style courses.

Definitely a blue-collar, budget Palm Springs golf option, but there's nothing wrong with that! A much more au naturel vibe that incorporates the desert environment in a cool way. Pretty cheapo clubhouse, but the course is perfectly fine. Can't beat the afternoon rates, either.

Love to golf here. Staff is friendly, and the grass was perfect to golf in. The view was awesome here. Love it and will golf here every time I'm in town.
