Shoe-horned into a park 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 3, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Nice signage
Nice tees
Nice baskets
Well kept grounds

Cons:

Built around the perimeter of a very busy looking park
Some fairways go right down main sidewalks
Somewhat redundant

Other Thoughts:

Right now the main parking lot is chained off and it says closed du to rennovation on the soccer fields.
I drove around the side and found a place to park and enter the park.
Fortunately, I was the only one there--but if there were soccer games going on or people using the park I would not have risked it...too close to activities and people,,,just asking for trouble.
That being said, since no one was here, I had fun practicing various pinpoint techniques...holes are short and the course is full of birdies...

Had fun at 7am 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 10, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Nice baskets. Perfect concrete tee areas. Perfect ground conditions thanks to constant irrigation. Plenty of parking and nice playground/picnic/bathroom facilities. Many hidden baskets, so it will take a big drive to set you up for a bird. Managable length for newbies.

Cons:

Built into a playground / jogging / soccer area, so I imagine you can only play here in the wee hours. Anyone at all using the facilities will be in the way of the shots. Every shot seems to be built for hyzer. It was actually very wet in the morning thanks to irrigation.

Other Thoughts:

There's lots of desert out here. Can't someone build something closer to downtown Palm Springs?
