Coachella Valley Golf Courses
Below is a list of golf courses in the Coachella Valley, and the date that I played that course. The courses I still have to play, of course, are those golf courses without a date played. NOTE: this is NOT a complete list. There are courses missing that I will add to this list as I get the information for them. There are also some courses I may not plan to play, like executive courses, but I'm really open to any course.
courses played out of - as of 11/22/2024

Grades
I base my grades on a number of factors:
- course layout - is the course layout interesting?
- difficulty - how challenging is the course?
- condition - what condition is the course in? (I do keep in mind the time of year and know that Summer is when most golf courses are not in their best shape. I can tell when a course is a little dry as opposed to just not maintained.)
- playability - is the course equally playable for all skill levels?
- club house - what is the condition of the club house and how friendly and/or helpful is the staff?
I don't base my Grades on how I played or how I was treated by my Hosts. It's purely on how I feel a golf course should play and feel and how I should be treated by the personnel.
