Best greens

We played 5 courses in the area over 6 days. Course conditions, especially the greens, were the best we experienced. Will definitely play it again next time we are in the area.

great track poor maintenance

Great lay out and staff Poor Maintenance. Incredibly rude/unaware maintenance workers. Chainsaws/weed wackers/hedge trimmers /work carts blasting within feet of golfers without a break.

All Around Great Course

The only down side was that by the time we finished playing, which was not slow play at all, it was 100 degrees. Came from 60 degree weather so was a little toasty for us.
Everything else, including all of the employees, was excellent!

Nice bounce back from Hurricane Hillary damage

We played shortly after Hurricane Hillary hit the valley last year, and the course was understandably a mess.
We were a bit skeptical when booking a tee time on 5/12/24, but the course is in absolutely wonderful playing condition. I imagine it was huge task to get to this point. ⛳ We were also very pleased that the couse provides brand new golf carts featuring the latest in GPS technology, ride comfort, and dashboard storage spaces. Well done Mission Hills.

Good Value for money.

A forgiving golf course with smaller greens. Drawback was the road noise and lack of shade.

Great Place to Play Golf

I really enjoyed my round of Golf at the Mission Hills North Gary Player course. The Staff was Courteous and Helpful. The Sandwiches from the Snack Bar were Delicious!! The Golf Course itself was in very good condition. The Golf Carts were Clean and in Good Condition. Our Foresome had a great experience playing golf here, and I can’t wait to play golf here again.

Perfect Fairways and Greens

Fairways were over seeded and were in a pristine dark green colour. Every lie on the fairways and fringes was perfect. Definitely a place to play on any visit to Palm Desert area!
