“Located in Indio, CA, this men's only private course features fairways lined by Date Palms, with strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens. The course is always in pristine condition."

“An exclusive experience, if you happen to be a man. This private club does not allow women past the parking lot, which is a shame because they would enjoy playing this golf course. Lowering the Ambience score for that First time around, I hoofed this golf course with an 83 year old man who carried his own bag. Stonework and bridges are sensational. Grab a grapefruit while you play. The trees and fruit are all over the course."

“Fantastic course and a great layout. Very challenging with great greens with very subtle breaks to them. A real treat to play! Local Knowlege: Learn where the Salton Sea is. That is 240’ below sea level. Parts of this course are also below sea level. So the whole area slopes gradually toward the Salton Sea. Putts won’t necessarily break that direction, but it influence them slightly. Pay attention to that on the pratice green."
