They also have a ton of fitting rooms, which is always a plus. Honestly, I get tired just browsing because there's so much to choose from, but they do carry the latest and greatest golf and tennis gear. If you're in the area, definitely give them a visit, they've got a good selection and some solid deals. Worth stopping by! Great service BTW!

I felt compelled to leave this review because the insanely amazing customer service my daughter and…read moreI experienced at Pete Carlson's literally had us at hello. If you're wondering where to go for your tennis, golf or athletic gear needs, stop pondering. This is your place -- and here's why. With two hours to spare before my daughter's HS varsity tennis tryouts, I was frantically Googling where to get her a quality racket and actual legit tennis shoes. I remembered someone recommending Pete Carlson's, checked the website, saw they closed at 6pm, and we raced across town. We pull up and a man wearing a helmet, about to leave on his scooter, yells over that they actually closed at 5. It was 5:10. Any parent knows what came next: "Great, Mom! Now I have no racket or shoes for tryouts!" I pulled up the website to show him it said 6pm, fully expecting him to ride off into the sunset and tell us to come back tomorrow. Instead, he parked his scooter, took off his helmet, looked at my daughter and said, "We can't have you going to tryouts with no racket or shoes. Follow me -- let's get you what you came for." Enter Raul, the unicorn of customer service. He reopened the store for us and then proceeded to give us some of the most thorough, genuinely caring customer service I've experienced. He didn't rush us AT ALL. He took the time to help my daughter find the right racket and tennis shoes so she could walk into varsity tryouts feeling confident and prepared. And Raul apparently isn't the only one drinking the magical customer-service water over there. I had previously called with a tennis question and that employee was fantastic too. Clearly, great service is part of the culture here. What also impressed me was how much pride Raul takes in his job and how highly he spoke of the owner and the hard work that grew the business from a small area in front into the large store it is today. You could tell he genuinely cares about the business and its customers. There are plenty of big-box sporting goods stores, but this experience reminded me why supporting businesses like Pete Carlson's matters. If you want quality merchandise AND people who actually care about helping you find what you need, go to Pete Carlson's Golf & Tennis in Palm Desert -- and ask for Raul! Thank you, Raul, for setting the customer-service bar ridiculously high. We truly appreciated you going so far above and beyond!

*Big Fan of Fanzz*…read more I'm always drawn to stores like this. I even worked at a place like this, called The Complete Athlete, for a summer job when I was in high school. I was immediately warmly greeted by Alex, and his big wide genuine smile. Very charismatic and friendly young man. We struck up a nice convo about sports and life, and I found out that Alex is a QB and playing football for College of the Desert. Looking forward to seeing him in action this coming season. Fanzz has something for everyone. Jerseys, jackets, t-shirts galore & more from most major professional & college sports teams. Their prices are competitive for sports apparel and gadgets. Whether you're a sports enthusiast like me or a band-wagon fan looking for a great gift...you can't go wrong with Fanzz. {{{Big~High~5}}} Huge Fan Game Over

Spotted some great shoes, but they did not my size. As I was leaving, a staffer, perhaps a manager, asked if I needed help and I told her why I was empty handed. She asked me to wait while she double checked in back, came up empty as well, but told me that a new store shipment was due in couple of days, and that I should come in early, as they stock the new items before they open. My review here is completely because I appreciate service, especially from a person whose job it is to be of service. Too often, that is not the case.

*Hot in the (Shoe) City*…read more I've driven or walked by Shoe City countless times because it's within a large shopping complex I frequent, on Monterey & Dinah Shore. The name "Shoe City" pretty much tells you what you need to know...and what's in-store inside this store. But what I did not know is that Shoe City has a very large inventory of top name brands at reasonable prices. They also have a wide selection of high-performance athletic shoes I did not expect to see here. They also have a nice display of hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts and socks. Even noticed some Dodgers and Red Sox hats for future reference. On this particular day, I strolled inside Shoe City to check out the place...and cool down a bit because it was over 100 degrees outside, late in the month of May. The layout is similar to what I've seen at other discount shoe stores -- aisles & aisles of shoes neatly organized, with stacks of shoe boxes piled 4 feet high. Of course, I went straight to the Nike area to peek around. Within seconds I was approached and asked if I "need help with anything?" which I appreciated, and kindly said "no thank you...but thanks for asking." Just when I thought it was over: I noticed something I never expected here -- Nike Offcourt Adjust Slides, cushioned with memory foam. And a color I've never seen. I have 4 pairs in other colors, and recently purchased a new pair at Dick's Sporting Goods a month ago...and a month before that too. Tho I don't need another pair, these unique shade of brown Nike Slides was calling my name, to be added to my collection. As often happens, they had every size but mine, so I called over the helpful gal who I spoke with before, and asked if there's more in stock. I mentioned how I've never seen this color and she told me they "just got them in the other day." Then when I thought my luck ran out, she found the last pair in my size, that was misplaced below the displayed shoe next to it. I was so happy I said "ya see, I needed your help after all" and we had a good laugh together. Tho the "price comparison" sticker on the box is inflated, the sale price is the same $40 I've paid for these Nike Slides at Dicks and elsewhere. I mentioned it to another girl who rang me up at the register, who I assume is the manager, and she agreed with me. Then we struck up a nice convo about the cool color of these slides. Then after hearing stories about my collection and how damn comfy they are, she told me she'll have to get her first pair to try out. Then she asked if I want to "SPIN THE WHEEL for a chance to WIN a PRIZE?" Who am I to say "NO"...so I went to the other side of the counter to spin the BIG WHEEL ~~ not too hard not too soft...but just a tad bit short of winning the BIG PRIZE. Oh well, it was still fun. I was very impressed with Shoe City's merchandise and their helpful & friendly customer service. And their AC room temp was perfecto. If you haven't been to a Shoe City before, I recommend checking it out...and you might be pleasantly surprised to find a pair of shoes you love too. {{{Big~High~Five}}} Walk-off Homerun
