The valley's most central resort Dye layout, now with brand-new greens from the 2026 rebuild. A par 70 that is friendly from the middle tees and testing from the back. Price is dynamic and unpublished, so compare it against the Palm Desert and La Quinta resort courses before booking.

Local knowledge
- First rounds on the new greens start Nov 3, 2026, right after overseed: expect fresh, firm surfaces and possibly cart-path rules for the first days.
- Book on the resort site rather than a reseller: the resort says it charges no booking fee and that its best rates are for advance, off-peak times.
- Cancel at least 24 hours out; late cancellations may be charged at the applicable rate (resort booking page).
- Reviews over recent seasons were mixed on conditioning; the 2026 greens rebuild was the fix, so judge it on post-November reports.
