This course is small and not in good shape

This is a par 3 course and not in good condition. Walking the course makes more sense than using a cart.

Good customer service

The young lady behind the counter was extremely helpful. After I played the course, I asked her if she could do another nine and she happily obliged me. I was paired up with 2 ladies as we were behind a league foursome that at first was slow but the pace picked up around the fourth hole.

Dangerous course.

Could be a nice little course but the pace of play was very slow with a 5 some ahead of us. We also almost got hit by stray balls 3 times on 3 different holes by different players.

Golf

It was a really fun small course. I’m a beginner and I had lots of fun on this course. I was paired with 2 men who were not the best to golf with. But the course and the workers were amazing!

Unsafe!

Soo busy!!!
We had many near misses from other golfers.
The driving range hits onto 3 holes
You will never find your ball as range balls carpet the fairway.
Stay away from this course!!

Very friendly staff

Watering causes muddy cart paths near tee boxes. Some bare spots adjacent to fairways.

Palo Verde

Course was a little run down. Greens were ok at best. I understand it is in the desert. So I’m trying to not be too critical. We’ve played this course several times over the past three years. And this year is definitely the worst.
