"Big-time glitz" abounds at this "Palm desert gem" where the public spaces "sparkle" with "waterfalls everywhere", "multiple pools", "electric boats that ferry patrons" to the "phenomenal sushi bar and Tuscany restaurant" and 36 holes of championship golf, "great tennis" and a "magnificent spa"; it's "fun" for a family getaway, but a few complain about "getting lost" at this "spread-out" spot that often "feels like Spring Break."

Like a "poor man's Spago", this Beverly Hills–bred pizza chain "mainstay" dishes up "gourmet" pies with "exotic" toppings like shrimp, pineapple and BBQ chicken (though some "work better than others") plus "tasty salads"; "iffy service", "hectic" vibes and "bright, clinical" decor can be downers, but "inexpensive" tabs keep most branches "crowded" and parents proclaim them "a godsend if you have kids."

"Amazing steaks" "served sizzling in butter" "on a metal platter" "can't be beat" at this New Orleans–born chain where everything – including the "irresistible sides" – "melts in your mouth"; the "ambiance of the different locations varies", but most are "elegant and comfortable" with servers who treat everyone "like royalty"; just "bring a huge appetite and a wallet to match."

One of "the best in the Palm Springs area at any price" "looks and plays like a private course" but is a "truly memorable" public track where "you feel like you're at one with the desert" even as you grapple with "enough water to keep it interesting"; it's "not for the faint of heart or those allergic to sand", but those who see the value in a "beautiful", "well-maintained" layout "without a lot of elevation changes" say it's "a must-play if you visit the Coachella Valley."

Architect "Nick Faldo did a masterful job of re-creating the dunesland look and feel of Australia" on this "beautiful", "playable" layout featuring "lots of water", "deep fairway bunkers" and "afternoon winds" that can "make it difficult"; factor in "great mountain vistas", "knowledgeable service" and "amazing facilities" (including "a nice 19th hole, grass range and teaching program"), and it's no wonder fans call it "a piece of paradise in Palm Desert."

Admirers "would go back in a minute" to Palm Desert to play this "fantastic course with fabulous views" that offers "plenty of challenge everywhere" ("beware of cacti hazards") on a "pretty", "female-friendly" layout that's kept in "beautiful condition"; although a few feel its "partner course is better", it "exceeds expectations" with the type of "excellent" facilities and service – "from club drop-off to the 19th hole" – that make it a "very good value."

"With waterfalls, flowers and exotic birds" as well as "exceptional vistas of the surrounding mountains", this "forgiving resort course" is part of a "beautiful hotel" and is ideal for "a getaway with your spouse"; experts say it's "not challenging" enough, but it offers "nice facilities" and a "friendly staff" to go with a "well-groomed" layout ("not a blade of grass is out of place") that makes for an "enjoyable" "warm-up in the Palm Desert area."
