Whenever possible Player incorporated the greens and tees into the existing landscape. But it also sports beautiful waterscapes and waterfalls with a backdrop of the serrated peaks of the San Jacinto Mountains. The generous fairways may give you a sense of security along with the fact there are no blind shots and few doglegs. Elaborate rock formations are set in the waterscapes, but most likely the water won't be a factor on most holes. The challenge is the length of the course and the seasonal winds that are known to whip around. Slope = 134 / ****1/2 | | | | | | | | Custom Trip Quote to Palm Springs | | | | | | | | | | |
