Dry Dusty Desert Discin'

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2024 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Three sets of tees on each hole (except hole #3) allow people of varying skills to play. The reds are incredibly short, some are only 50 feet! But for an RV park that may have kids or beginners, I actually think it's appropriate. The black tees had distance and par listed on the rock that marked the tee which was nice.

Every hole had a bench present at the red tee and a sign that pointed to the basket with the distance posted. Tees are marked by painted rocks. The blue tees are easy to find as they are typically 50-70 feet behind the red.

I was able to play the red tees in 6 minutes with a putter. The blue tees took about 15-20 minutes so it is a very quick play.

Huge ace potential, if you count a 50 footer an ace!

In its own special way, this course was charming. Because it's in the middle of the desert, there are no people to worry about and no buildings anywhere near the course. I felt like I was in my own little world.

Cons:

The biggest issue for me was finding the black tees. I didn't even see half of them my first time playing through. After more thorough searching, I found them all except for hole #3.

The difficulty and variety of this course is quite low, even from the black tees. Of course there is only so much that can be done with the land that they had.

Other Thoughts:

This course ended up being so much better than I expected. Whoever put it in really tried to make something worth playing. I have never seen a 9-holer with 3 tees and a bench on every hole.

Not a con, but unfortunately, this course is an hour+ from Palm Springs so it may be hard to justify 2 hours driving for <30 minutes of play time.
