Great and challenging course

The course is challenging but a blast to play. We want to play again. The golf shop staff was outstanding. The course is in great shape. The only bad thing we have to say is the grill guy was a rude.

Closed holes

Sadly we had already paid the golf now rate but the three signature holes were closed when we got there. We were told to play the first three holes twice to get 18 holes in, but the people we golfed with had only paid the twilight rate and we had paid the full golf now rate. Will definitely consider this before using golf now again.

Neighborhood

I have no problem with this course except for the price in comparison with the description and reality. The course was in excellent shape, but the layout is uninspiring with a lot of doglegs, holes that look the same, weird 10-12 holes, in an old neighborhood. It is not a Palm Springs quality track. Despite its name, there is only lake. It is an ok neighborhood track that can be anywhere. Playwise it is quite easy. They do not have a driving range, just a cage. My gripe is that at $115 is grossly overpriced as it doesn’t not deliver for this price expectation. I’d consider it a $80 track.

A Gem of a course Nestled in Desert Hot Springs

I have never seen such amazing grounds condition in a golf course. The fairway is a green velvet carpet. The tee boxes are in excellent condition! Greens run fast but not unfair. The surrounding views are breathtaking.

Course layout is challenging, with the mountain wind and changes in elevation. All made for a fun experience.

Ben in the Pro Shop is so warm and welcoming. The food in the snack shop is tasty and fairly priced with the quality and quantity.

I will be back!

All is well that ends well

Made the 40 minute drive from Indian Wells to Desert Hot Springs to play this course again but ended up getting rained out after 8 holes. Staff did not give a rain check as round paid for by Golf Now. In the end Golf Now in discussion with the course (a week later) provided a hot deal credit for the price paid for the round. I've booked a new hot deal looking forward to enjoying the round at Mission Lake I was hoping for.

Disappointing

Never been rained off a course at Palm Springs till now. Holes 10,11&12 were not even open & many courses in the area were closed. Booked a hot deal time through Golf Now and was a big fan of this course promoting it to other golfers and making a point of driving 35-40 minutes from Indian Wells to Desert Hot Springs to play it. Upon arrival, staff said they tried calling & left a VM but phone shows no call & no VM.Told us if it gets too bad to play to come in & they would "see what they could do" Played 8 holes in light rain but hole 9 downpour was biblical. So now quite drenched called it a day & went in to get a rain check. Staff in pro shop talked in back office & told me the pro would have to call me to "let me know what they could do". Left name, cell # & email address but have yet to hear back & I doubt I will before vacation ends. Sadly front office staff isn't empowered enough to give a customer a "9 hole rain check" during a rain out day. Instead they gave me a coupon for reduced rates on pro shop merchandise . Typically rain checks are issued without hesitation if weather ends your round but I guess if you bought your round through Golf Now there's no incentive for them to do anything. Unfortunately in the future there's not much incentive to make the drive to play the course or to continue to recommend it to others. Sad

Very enjoyable

Quite sure I reviewed weeks ago already. Impeccable greens and fairways for this time of year. Love the two ball washes per tee. Great carts. Everything has been thought out and well maintained.

Beautiful walk spoilt or not

Perfect condition. Every detail thought of, from two ball washes per tee, to carts with very well behaved brakes. We didn't play as well as we'd liked but tremendously enjoyed the round nonetheless.

MISSION LAKES COUNTRY CLUB

We only played 9 holes because of 37mph wind. The pro shop gave us a 9 hole credit. I will be returning soon. It was my first time at this course and it was challenging and had some very unique holes.
