The golf was interesting, I say that as we booked a 10-ish or so tee time and it was almost completely empty on both courses. This was late May. What that did was allow our twosome to not rush through and enjoy a leisurely round of golf. We also stopped at the clubhouse for lunch, had time for them to make it and have a couple beers then went back out with still nobody out. Was a fun day. read more

Very, very high regards to the F/B director, Jon! He went way beyond his duties to allow us access to the patio (after hours) to enjoy a couple of sodas as we relaxed to enjoy the amazing scenery. People like Jon make a big difference in today's world and should be acknowledged for excellent customer service. Desert Princess definitely deserves your business! read more

We purchased a villa here one year ago. Our only regret is we wish we would have done it ten years earlier. It's a magical place, good energy, lots of smiles, pet people, clean pools, gorgeous grounds, a clubhouse house with outstanding service and food. You can be as social or private as one chooses. As we see people packing up, we count our blessings, we're live in paradise every day! Tim and Jackie Romo read more

This place was amazingly good with a beautiful golf course setting. I had the tuna melt and onion rings. The tuna melt was delicious with sourdough bread. The onion rings were crispy and cooked to perfection. My bf had the Margo burger and said it was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the Tuna melt. Service from Leslie was great to she always had our drinks filled and asked us if we needed anything else. If you're in the area go check them out. You can also golf here as well. read more

To begin with the weather was horrendous. The winds were blustery and gusting at around 30 mph or more. The desert sand were blowing around all over the Palm Springs area. The staff in the clubhouse even mentioned that if the winds were too difficult they would cancel their reservations if so requested. Other than that the course was in excellent condition and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The greens were a little slow but were also in excellent condition. The green fees were also very reasonable when booking through golfnow.com. The views are also beautiful. read more

YELP SHORT ANSWER: If you can YES, It is a tee time and a pretty nice track. LOCATION: Very easy to find, parking can be a pain. I believe this is a semi private course with homeowners and resort guest able to play. Not sure on public access. FACILITY: The buildings are older and not in great shape, two courses are very nice for resort type golf. COURSE: my first time playing here as an invite from a friend/homeowner and the course we played was fun and fair. GROUND STAFF: on this busy day, everyone was in a bad mood as they had a tournament and resort guests lost everywhere! I am sure everyone here is super nice but when your overbooked this is what happens, grumpy golfers and employees. RATE of PLAY: On the day we played, it was almost a 6 hour round but we had a good time and never felt anyone in front of us was lagging but we'd stack 4 groups on the par 5's. So on the back nine, the four local members, homeowners, behind us were total dicks. Each had their own golf cart and hit into us several times. One guy named "The Dick who plays golf in a sweatsuit" seemed to want to comment when they'd arrive at the next tee box and there we were, waiting. One fat F' would express his dissatisfaction with a whiny "REALLY" with his head in his hands, it was so sad. Finally I had enough and asked if there was some problem which shut them up quickly. OVERALL VALUE: As a guest I am not sure on the resort fees so I cannot comment on costs, but the house was a joy to play. TIP: Be aware this cause is here to make money and they will stack foursomes up so if that drive you to drink, avoid busy days. read more

Vista is the course they hold for people looking to play 9-holes. The rate is reasonable but you have to start in the afternoon. It's challenging and has a few water holes. Homes along the course don't come into play very often and the views are beautiful. When the round is over, the patio bar is worth your time as well. read more

A terrific golf course! Lush green fairways lined with trees and water. The resort offers three different nine hole layouts so there is a wonderful variety of holes and looks. We played right after the rains so the fairways, fringe and greens were in spectacular shape. It can get pretty windy but still offers a fun and majestic round of golf. read more

Great golf course great customer service and amazing views! We did a full round of golf and then had lunch. Overall it was a great experience. Would definitely recommend and book again read more

Great driving range - love going here to practice my skills and a $7 half bucket of golf balls.

Terrible location, if you're here for vacation take your money elsewhere. The none stop loud landscaping activity from Monday-Sunday ruins any redeeming quality about this place which starts around 6:30am and continues without break until 4-5pm. Most of the time, they will mow the same spot in the lawn for 2/3 hours at a time just going in circles, which I'm guessing they're trying to rack up their time. Want to sit outside on the patio to enjoy a peaceful brunch? Have fun with the leaf blower guy taking his 8th round on your patio, blowing all the dust up into the air and into your food all at 95dB. Don't fall for the pretty pictures you see online, this place offers no peace and quiet which is anything but ideal when selecting a vacation location. Trust me, spend your time elsewhere where you can actually use the amenities without the 24/7 loud landscaping ruining your vacation experience. read more

Clean and well manicure country golf club. There was a coyote in the morning and I would suggest pet owners to be very careful with there pets. No cats or dogs allowed outside please. Always supervise. Always on a leash. Even at night. Keep cats indoors. The geese did chase the coyote away. Also I seen security did too. The pools are clean. We would have love to check out all of the pools. Security is good here. The check in is fast. read more

This development is totally mismanaged. The HOA fees are $954 monthly, and will probably continue to rise. Nonstop noise almost every day, commencing at 7AM. Serious issues are never resolved, (ie burned out garages), but vanity projects get too priority. This place is a terrible investment. read more

November 2022, I played in a golf tournament here. I found the staff to be outstanding, welcomed me as a member of the public with no issues whatsoever. They have a full range, putting green, and an area to chip. So, everything you need to get your game tuned-up before playing. The golf course is well maintained and really fun, more water than you think so keep an eye out. While it is a 'resort course' don't take anything negative away from that because it is fairly wide open and has plenty of great views and challenging holes. The greens were good, early in the morning they did not hold, but as the day went on and things got warmer, the rolls were really true. Most important, I had an absolutely great time with my dad. read more

Great golf and wonderful community with lots of activities. There is a fitness center and tennis and pickle ball courts.

This was our first visit to Desert Princess. I thoroughly enjoyed the golf facilities and found the pro shop to be welcoming despite not being a member (tourist). The fairways and grounds were well groomed and happy that we were able to see blooming landscape! Recommend stopping by for a round of golf! read more

Visited for a wedding. It was nice, however the bar area was late opening. I would definitely recommend BUT would put in the contract that they need to be available on a timely basis REGARDLESS. It was a no host bar, so bar certainly lost $ then... read more

I've booked this course through a broker called Stand By Golf for $95 on a Sunday morning and it was worth every dime. The staff was just outstanding, welcomed me as a member of the public with no issues whatsoever. The golf course is immaculate really fun, more water than you think so it's a little bit challenging for a resort course but don't take anything away from that. The greens were just outstanding rolls really true and I had an absolutely great time. The bloody Mary at the shack was top 10 of all time really good, expensive but not outrageous. The only downside and that keeps this from being a five star is the quality of the rental clubs. Do not rent! They're old some brand name you never heard of, blades. Other than that a really great experience and 100% recommend it if you have your own clubs or you can rent from Stand By Golf for $20 less than you can here. read more

I wanted to practice my swing before heading home from our vacation, and I am so glad we stopped at Desert Princess. We had a bad experience at our previous course and this was a welcome change - everyone was extremely friendly. We were there in the afternoon, blazing hot and they offered a cart ride down to the practice area. Thank you for the great customer service. We will play this course when we return! read more

My first time here this past week, I loved it!! We had honor of having Dutch be our side kick from the club to guide us thru. Service was top notch. We had a really great time. Views are awesome. Fairly fast course and pretty busy - the greens were exceptional and well kept. Pro shop was nice and staff very friendly. We golfed front 9 of Lagos our afternoon of arrival and Cielo next morning. I can't wait to go back! read more

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. One of the most gorgeous courses I've been too. Was amazed by the greens, and the scenery all three courses offered a different view and feel. Also recommend staying at an air bnb on the property you will not be disappointed. read more

Decent course, good prices as well. Definitely call ahead of time for a tee time though. I've stayed at the resort a few times and brought clubs and get turned away for last minute wanting to play. They also don't allow play without a collared shirt and don't provide shirts either to use like other golf resorts I've been to. Overall great golf here no doubt but you have to really prepare for it. Book a time and bring a collared shirt and you're set. read more

Once upon a time the Desert Princess was so beautiful. Not any more! That place is run down with a crooked HOA that doesn't work for the people who live there like they once did. They are rude and don't attend to your concerns or complaints. The waterfalls out front don't work most of the time. The roads are cracked all over, lights are always broken or burned out so it is very dark at night. The theft rate is quite high which is surprising considering it's a gated community. Where is the security? What exactly do they do? They sure try to Beautify the place right before the Canadians come so they can charge their ridiculous rates. They don't do squat for those who live there full time. It's a crying sham to see the DP go down hill so much. read more

Nice course and the cart guys are helpful but the Marshalls suck. One Marshall had no idea of the rules and wanted us off the course because we had well behaved kids with us. No one said anything about the kids from the start and this old guy comes at our hole and tells us to basically leave. Get your staff in check and make sure everyone is on the same page!! I understand it's a liability but we had some well behaved kids ... thanks for ruining the last portion of our game read more

Visited the course, clubhouse & pro shop the day before our scheduled tee time. First impressions were very good! Marty, cart staff, approached us and asked if we needed any help with anything. He shared where all the key locations were. Told us the clientele is very nice and friendly. The next day we played La Vista (for our front 9) and Cielo (for the back 9). Both courses are very nice, well kept. Wide fairways and playable roughs. Greens were just seeded about 3 weeks ago and still very young, but smooth and members take care to repair divots! Pace can be a bit slow, but we were able to play here and there with a new group during the front as we kind of played through. Met up with others from our group who joined on the turn at Cielo. Finished in just about 5 hours. I would love to live in this community! It's really nice and a home on the course would be great to watch players going by on a regular basis. Other amenities two-way driving range (it's huge/long), putting & chipping areas. We played in the afternoon. Plan for 5 hour rounds. read more

Decent course at a reasonable rate. The sand traps are garbage but most of the courses I've played this month have the same issue.

Are you kidding me, $30 plus a lunch coupon for a great course like this. Immaculate desert greens for the summer, rolling true and excellent fairways. Friendly staff too, I played Lagos and Cielo and really enjoyed it. read more

We played Desert Princess for the second time today with discount green fees from UnderPar. The course was very nice and well-maintained. However, the pro shop staff was very unwelcoming. They simply did not value our patronage and even made a derogatory comment about our ability to play a free second round under the deal offered online. I do not know why they offer these deals and then treat you like a second-class citizen. We thought our poor treatment the first time was a one off, so we decided to give them another shot at our patronage. This time was even worse. We will never go back. My advice to them is not to offer deals for reduced green fees and just cater to their members. Don't waste your money no matter the deal they offer. read more

The staff was not accommodating. The feeling I got was that if you are not a member, you will not be treated like a customer.

Desert Princess is showing beautiful landscape for their country club ha ha; it is a bate and switch. We are on the driving range and the view is completely horrible. It is shameless they do not take care of the entire golf coarse. I guess the guest who are only one of the pins get the best view. The sad thing is everyone who lives here pays the exorbitant mo they dues if $630. last year it was beautiful, so what has happened? Cutting corners is not a recommendation! read more

The most majestic golf club community in this warm loving town. Safest place to run around and so many trails. I had a little too much fun a few years ago and ended up swimming in one of the many ponds. Would not recommend that. In my next life I will live here read more

Played golf only. Fairways are in mint condition. Greens slower than we are used to but still ok. Beautiful surroundings and views!!!! Pretty flat and easy course, surprised it's over a 115 on difficultly from the red tees. GHIN has it as 126. They have three nines. The two we played (Cielo-Vista) had some holes between the houses and some holes in the open. Played with nice people we met on the first tee box. June through August - $30 includes a sandwich after. Enjoyable!!!! read more

I had to write an update on this course, in the last two years there have been some changes. After a round of golf, in the past they have allowed us to go back out if we wanted to. No longer allowed!! There service has gone down pretty bad. I still enjoy coming here every year! Family loves coming here. But I have no problem changing venues! read more

I love this place. I stayed her 8 days early March 2018. My friend live in a newly built home here. This was a fabulous place to live. In fact we were right next to the newest pool (#29)...... yes there are 29 pools to choose from. Aside from the golf, tennis, pro shop and massages.... this is one beautify landscaped development/resort. My photo is the view from my table (outside) the restaurant next to the pro shop over looking the grass, lake and mountains. The breakfast was great, not expensive (residents get a 25 Percent discount)..... they only i not like was the coffee... too strong.... have a bloody instead. read more

Terrible place ! They drain the ponds and let all the Koi die in the heat of summer. Mother duck and her ducklings too small to get out of drained cement pond and the resort does nothing. Please do not support a place that cares so little for the environment! They know this is happening and choose to turn a blind eye! read more
