I've been for others things. The dog show, for instance. It's a nice outdoor space. There are areas that are very rich in foliage and give plenty of shade. The staff has always been nice and helpful, from the parking people to the security and cashiers, I've never have anyone be ambivalent. Food is, well, epic expensive. If you plan to spend $30 on food and $10 on drinks, you can get by. Beer was not outrageous though, which was a surprise. I definitely recommend going. Parking has always been easy. Some events it's free parking, others it costs, so plan ahead.

Fantastic Pre-Season Soccer in Palm Desert…read more - - - - - - - - February, 2026 Visit We visited Palm Desert to see our St. Louis CITY Soccer Club (SC) play Austin in pre-season MLS soccer at the Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament, and we had a GREAT TIME!! The Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament is pre-season soccer for men (MLS) and women (NWSL), played at the Empire Polo Club in February each year. We have visited Palm Desert for many years, and have visited before and after the tournament the past couple years, but have missed attending; thankfully schedules aligned this year. After watching previous games on YouTube, this year we got to be there in person! The tournament's site offers some challenges on finding General Admission tickets; after some time we found that the Los Angeles Galaxy (LAG) were managing the tickets; a quick call with Miguel, who was very helpful, and we soon had our tickets in the app ready to be there for the soccer. Thanks, Miguel!! Parking for soccer was easy to find based on the online map and following the signs. For food, under the semi-permanent tent they have food trucks and an open bar. Here is little shade on the fields; some palm trees in the corners offer a place to cool off; otherwise if the skies are clear, the Palm Desert sun will provide copious doses of Vitamin D to lift your spirits. DJ Alf Alpha provided dance tubes all day and there were various soccer skills for fans to participate in. Even when the weather is not as nice as it was for us, this is still a great facility, with low humidity. Fun fact... the Salton Sea is the second lowest point in the US, after Badwater Basin / Death Valley; if I calculated correctly, the Empire Polo Club elevation is 5-20 feet. Thank you to everyone who makes the Coachella Valley Invitational possible! As Major League Soccer transitions its season to match the rest of the world, and to spread across two years, but no soccer in cold Jan/Fen nor hot July/Aug, we hope you'll continue the tournament as a mid-season break tourney. ----- ----- -----

They have done a good job with upkeep of the course and adding a lot of new members. However, things have gone down hill in the food and beverage service and food quality. In my opinion, management doesn't know how to run a restaurant and bar at a CC. Food was always a B-, but with food highlights that made up for it. Now, it's a D on the food and beverage scene, service is always slow and disjointed and management either doesn't care or is clueless or both. This place is a first class golf course but needs to get Food and Beverage fixed.

My wife is a beginner and I try and keep her off big tracks where most men forgot how crappy they were when they started and are in a rush to get around. The cart boy was super friendly and helpful to us, and made my wife feel very comfortable from the moment we were arriving at the course. And also later in the day when we were having difficulties getting something to drink, he assisted us then as well. My only suggestions would be, now caveat here is that they may be impacted by Covid protocol still, but their snack bar was closed by the time we got around the turn at 2:30. It was 105° and even the pro shop was closing and was initially reluctant to sell us anything because they had already started counting the drawer. That is a huge breakdown on the customer service side and on the planning side. If you're going to close early, then put some vending machines out there. Or allow your cart boy to do sales from a cooler. But why would you remove the opportunity for Gatorade, a Coke, power bars, an orange, a banana, you get the idea, quick simple items that can be refrigerated and then put out the next day for members or visitors. I really dislike playing golf courses where there are homes along the fairways, and this course does a great job of giving you ample buffer space for the mischievous, super slice that creeps into my game periodically. I was still able to find my non center hit balls and only lost two balls into the neighbors backyards. They have gorgeous water features on the course. I would recommend that they include a little bit more greenery or a fake middle island on stilts for pond shade because the water isn't very deep and as hot as it gets, I can only imagine the temperature of the water goes well up it is barely sustainable for the nice beautiful large fish they have in their ponds. Overall, for an executive course in the Palm Desert/Palm Springs area, I highly recommend going here. They have a nice grass driving range, clean rolling putting green, and all the basics you need to get great 18 executive holes completed in hot, but fair, resort-like and playable, 4 hours or less. Note, we were here for Labor Day weekend when the state and national parks closed due to the amount of fires in and around campgrounds. So instead of camping we came to Palm Desert. It was hott . Tips, bring an extra towel for each player, like a kitchen sized towel, and keep it wet and put it into the ice cooler that is attached to your golf cart, every three Dash four holes, wrap it around your neck and cool off your overall body temperature. Keep cold water, hydrate, periodically put ice inside of a baseball cap, don't wear a visor, and you will be OK for A great executive course experience.

*La Cucina is Fantastico*…read more Had an amazing lunch here with my good friend and everything was outstanding from the food, customer service and spectacular views surrounding the swimming pool overlooking the cabanas, golf course, palm trees and mountains. Sat outside on the patio for some fresh air because it was a beautiful wind-free day -- tho the casual dining room is tastefully decoreated and liked how the tables are spaced out for more for privacy. There's also a nice big bar area with counter seating and tables. I don't eat a lot of meat & dairy but when I dine out and wanna cheat from eating clean, I lean more towards it -- especially things I don't normally cook at home. I'm a sucker for short ribs but even though I did not intend to eat meat & cheese...took one look at the menu, read the description and was sold. And glad I did because not only was the Short Rib Melt cooked & prepared perfectly and Double-Delicious, I didn't want it to end. I savored my meal slowly, but my buddy kept trying to rush me after plowing through his Ahi Tartare. The Sweet Pot Fries that accompanied my sando, were excellent and served exactly how I ordered -- well done without salt please -- plain & simple is how I enjoy most of my food. But there was nothing plain & simple about this wonderful restaurant located inside the Toscana Country Club. And the prices are very reasonable for the quality. My only grip but it's not a complaint because everyone here is/was so damn friendly & accommodating ~~ especially the lovely hostesses. But IMO, most of the staff (are probably told & trained) to treat everyone like Royalty. Some people & guests at Country Clubs might need and expect this type of treatment. However for me, it was a little too stuffy and prefer a more relaxed vibe. I get it and respect it -- it's "a Country Club thing"...but I prefer to be treated as if the customer service is not beneath me...tho appreciated the efforts from the entire team at La Cucina & Toscana. Grandslam I'm a Fan.
