Palm Desert Country Club's front nine begins with a pair of holes that give players early scoring chances. On the opening tee shot, drives carrying beyond roughly 290 yards clear the bunker guarding the right side, while shorter hitters are better positioned toward the left, which leaves the preferred angle into the green.
Golf lessons are available at the course for players looking to develop their skills and improve their game.
