Great course 9 holes wonderful community

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Santa Rosa mountains, Marriott's Shadow Ridge Faldo Championship Golf course, rated 4-1/2 stars, is the first course to be designed in the U.S. by the six-time Major winner. Inspired by the sand-belt courses of Australia, Faldo has created an excellent and challenging layout here in the Coachella Valley.

Looking at realestate, met Laura. She was friendly, very knowledgeable and professional.

Fun, challenging course.

Whenever I visit Palm Springs, CA, I always meet my cousin, Doug Lothes for Brunch at Desert Willow. It is beautiful, clean, friendly, plenty of free parking, wonderful food and good drinks!! Located in a Paradise Area, it is all GOOD. Come, visit, eat, drink, play golf and enjoy!!

Lush fairways, well manicured greens, and helpful and friendly staff.

Patti, is an old arrogant and ignorant person who has zero interpersonal skills. Among other things, she arbitrarily changed the course we booked ( Ceilo) and put my group on Vista to suit her friends tee time. She needs to come down to earth and realize that she is nothing more than a cashier. She needs to learn some customer service as it is non-existent with her. Course is nice but I will never play this course again.

Love it here

Great course.

My wife found the "Golf Made Simple" program searching the Internet for a golf school for us to attend as a couple. The website was well-organized, informative and attractive. We emailed for information. Jeff Siegler and Marc Solomon responded very quickly. Therir communications were warm, detailed and helpful. They helped us with lots of questions and guided us through registration. Follow-up emails included details about the accommodations and the school program. My wife, aunt and I each filled out a several page questionnaire about our golf games and what we wanted out of the course. We were informed that it was limited to groups of four. A great student to instructor ratio. What we didn't realize until we arrived was that the entire school session was limited to ONE group of four. To make it even better, My wife, aunt and I did not even have a fourth added to our group! We felt like we had undivided personal attention teaching and the golf course to ourselves for the entire three days! The Whitehawk Ranch Golf Course was in a magnificent, wooded mountain setting. The views were stunning and the course was absolutely beautiful. The course and facilities were perfectly maintained. The fairways and greens were pristine. The greens were receptive, smooth, moderately fast and had very interesting contours. Overall, the course was challenging but not overly intimidating. They have a nice practice facility, clubhouse and a proshop. The staff were all friendly and efficient, from the head pro to the lunch shack and bag handlers. The "Golf Made Simple" program was a very different approach. It demystifies a sport which has traditionally been taught in an overly complicated fashion. The mornings consisted of about 4 hours of teaching and drills. We were provided a nice breakfast and lunch and our pro ate lunch with us. The afternoon was a 9 hole playing lesson with the same pro. The second and third mornings we reviewed our individual videos before we started. We spent the three days with a PGA pro, Cody Vukovich. He was wonderful. He was very patient, calming and knowledgeable. He was quite an excellent teacher. His demeanor was particularly welcomed given my wife and aunt are beginners and arrived with some anxiety around the school and their skill level. Cody used our existing swing, grip, stances. We did not have to make drastic, or uncomfortable adjustments. All three of us (with different skill levels) experienced improved ball striking and understanding of the game beginning the first morning. We reviewed the basic swing, how to easily vary distance and trajectories, short game, sand play, putting, pre-shot routines and basic course management. We came to better understand our swing flaws, their corrections and how to analyze our bad shots. I have taken lesson with many different pros and spent months practicing myself at a video oriented golf franchise in front of a video camera and launch monitor. I feel I got more out of this class than any of the teaching I've had before this. After completion of the program a wealth of reference material was immediately available to me on their web site. I can also email for advice or set up free telephone lessons. I wholeheartedly recommend Golf Made Simple (and our pro Cody!) to family and friends. We plan to take the class again some time and hope to see Cody in Palm Desert.
