Escena Golf Club

This is a must play and have a drink experience. Thank you to Rick and Deb and staff for a remarkable time. Most appreciated.

Good choice if you're visiting Palm Springs. It's right by the airport and has some good views. We played a twilight round and got pretty good value (under $100). That said, I wouldn't rave about the layout. The front nine is very flat, short, and quite bland. I thought the back nine was a lot better. Greens were fair, should probably be faster. I would play it again if I were in the area, but not sure I'd go out of my way to do so. No driving range is also a strike against it.

Another spectacular early morning round at Escena! Course conditions are great, and the views this morning were incredible. Favourite course in the desert!

If you have never golfed ESCENA it is definitely a must as it has everything.
The course is always in great shape and the views are unbelievable whether you are golfing or sitting on the deck having lunch.after you’re round.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming.and will make sure your experience s unforgettable.

This Jack Nicklaus layout couldn't be more fun to play. Love it! One of the best courses in the Coachella Valley. You won't be disappointed. Great conditions, greens run true, and beautiful views. Believe me, it's a gem. Oh and the staff are very welcoming and the Grill is a great place for food and drinks with a view.

Escena Golf Course offer excellent playing conditions and amazing scenery.. I love walking the course in early morning with the sun rising to the east. It is a must play in the Coachella Valley.

My favourite course in the area! Friendlyand attentive staff from the moment you arrive at the bag drop, pro shop staff, starter are all top notch! Course is in excellent early season conditions, played early, pace of play was not an issue. Breakfast on the scenic patio was excellent, and we were well looked after by Ceaser! This Jack Nicklaus design course is definitely a great value!!

My favourite course in the desert! Friendly, attentive staff, course in great early season condition, great breakfast in the restaurant after our round! Great value for a Jack Nicklaus Design course!!

Played for the first time in a while. Very fun and diverse design. Conditions were better than expected considering the course just opened from reseeding. Deb in the golf shop was super friendly and helped me choose a cool new vintage Palm Springs themed Adidas polo that came with 2 sleeves of Titleist balls with packaging that matches the polo. Looking forward to coming back soon.

Great course, always in pristine condition, Al the starter is the best. This course is great for all skill levels, has picturesque views, the clubhouse has the newest apparel at the best prices. Will continue to play this course and recommend it to any golfer.

Escena Golf Club blew me away! From the moment I arrived, the views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the desert landscape were breathtaking. The course layout is stunning, with wide fairways that give you a little forgiveness off the tee, but the greens are no joke – they really make you think and plan each shot.

The condition of the course was perfect; every hole felt like it was meticulously maintained, and the greens rolled so smoothly. I loved the variety in the layout, with strategically placed bunkers and water features that added a fun challenge without feeling overwhelming.

The clubhouse was also a highlight – it’s stylish and comfortable, and had a lot of variety of high quality brands.

Overall, Escena is easily one of my favorite courses. It’s the perfect mix of beauty, challenge, and relaxation. I can’t wait to come back and play again!

First time playing Escena. Quality course, good people, great time. Highly recommend anytime you are in the Palm Springs area.

Played morning round early September and wasn’t sure what to expect given some courses in the area have been having troubles maintaining fairways and greens due to heat.. safe to say this course over delivered! Had a great time, pace of play was fast given the heat and few players out. Everything was pristine. Greens were amazing, fairways were perfect and honestly couldn’t ask for more. Would absolutely come back and play given they prob have even better conditions in the fall/winter. Clubhouse looks awesome and food was fantastic. Recommend the club sandwich!

This was the first time I have ever played Escena GC I have to say this is one of the most impressive golf course I have ever played…the views are amazing. The staff was super friendly and Richard in the Pro Shop went out of his way to welcome me and my guest. You just don’t find that kind of customer service Richard provided anymore. When I come back to the Palm Springs area again Escena will be on the top of my list.

Once again, this course never disappoints! Great condition, especially for the time of year and the staff is amazing. The restaurant is also one of the best in the valley. Highly recommend to anyone playing in the area!

Played golf today at Escena. For middle of summer under extreme heat the course was in great shape.

Played today before it got too hot. Course is in great shape for this time of year.

I always love playing this course. It’s long and straight but forgiving at same time. The staff if awesome and always attentive . On top of their stuff. Play it any time I’m in the area.

Have been playing Escena for over 8 years - it’s always a fun round that challenges one in many ways (distance, bunkers, pin locations, etc) but never disappoints. The course is typically in prime condition during the season, but continues to be in great shape even in the summer (110+ degrees does hurt the grass in some places as it would hurt your skin if left out for long in the summer months). Staff is very attentive and friendly and the shop has the best and funnest golf clothing in the valley by far. Both the newly remodeled shop and restaurant are worth a visit. Cheers!

Unfortunately, I need to echo recent reviews. I had played this course several years ago and recommended it for an outing this year. I had to apologize to the group after.

Conditions were unacceptable. Burned out fairways and damaged greens were present on most holes. We don’t think it was a
“summer thing”.

Layout is solid. 5 par 5s and 5 par 3s make it a little unconventional . Staff were friendly. Grill room was OK. No driving range.

Until they get the conditions better, I can’t recommend Escena club.
