Felt bad for the staff as the they mis-scheduled public play right behind a shotgun tournament of newbies, and we were first in line. Waited 45 minutes past tee time, but they made sure we were taken care of with free water, snacks, hats. Warm up area is into a screen, good chipping and putting areas though. pristine course with...

It was our 2nd time playing there and it lived up to our recollection! Friendly and accommodating staff (we needed 6 sets of rental clubs), stunning views, and the course was in excellent condition. We will return, for sure!

I loved everything about this course. It was challenging but playable for Canadians coming out of a long, snowy winter. The staff at the bag drop were a little on the sour side, but the rest of the staff were great. We will play this again most definitely

Searching for a well kept public golf course? Fairways well maintained, greens closely cut and rolled, 5 tee boxes on most holes. Plus a reasonably well stocked pro shop and an excellent restaurant with views of the mountains that can't be beat.

Didn't know what to expect but absolutely loved this course. In excellent condition, staff really friendly and the clubhouse and views are beautiful. One of our favorites in Palm Springs.

They do a consistently fab eggs benedict (served various ways) and champagne. You can't beat the location for scenic views and a beautiful mid-mod clubhouse. Great value for the money.

Went back to Escena and again a very nice golf experience. People in the Pro shop and the starter were pretty helpful and courteous...always appreciated by me. To the course...a lot of Coot poop on several of the holes. I might add that the Coot (black bird which does nothing by peck at the grass on the greens and fairways)... More

This track is very player friendly with appeal to all intermediate and better golfers. We rarely play anywhere else during our winter break and enjoy the clubhouse as one of the best places for foodies and jazz. . It plays in 4 hours with all the challenge that you may want . Watch out though on windy days- not fun... More

Located on the border of Palm Springs & Cathedral Canyon cities is a fairly new golf coure and restaurant. The restuarant is a beautiful contemporary design and has fantastic views of the course and the San Jacinto mountains. We ate breakfast and there was a fine assortment of foods from the standard eggs and omlettes, to cerials and fresh salmon... More
