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."
