Perform duties as a Team Player or perform duties as written within the Governing Document?…read more I was voted to the board of directors as a First VP for 2022/2023 term. I began to receive requests from an incoming board member to perform First VP duties prior to installation date of 05/26/22. To this person, I presented the paragraphs within the governing documents supporting my argument to when a newly elected board member begins their duties and when an outgoing board member's duties end. While attending a "new member" luncheon at a Rancho Mirage restaurant, I was verbally belittled by another club member (incoming chair member) as attendees were leaving the luncheon. As new member attendees exited and with patrons of the restaurant nearby, I was (in loud voice) directed to disregard the governing documents, and unless I did just that, I was not considered a team player. As I walked away from both the incoming board member and the incoming chair member, the words "that is your job" was the loud resounding verbal directive that followed my exit. It was clear, I was expected to perform First VP duties absent of installation and absent of the protections of the Not-for-Profit. On, April 26, 2022, I made the choice to step away from the First VP position, as a point of principle.

Just have to say that this Lounge is wonderful. The seating and decor is classy and comfortable…read more The service is top notch. Justin and Satoru are shining examples of the kind of service that reflects well on the Ritz. The food and drinks are fantastic and have a surprisingly broad selection. One last shout out has to go to Michelle. We were inquiring about an item in the desert bloom and Michelle did not know if it was available. We moved on with our day and went up to hang out in the lounge (which is one of the things we do while we are here). Well Michelle found the item and brought it up to us at the lounge. What amazing service. Michelle is another gem here at the Ritz.

We were told they serve breakfast buffet and a light lunch. We were hoping this will still be enough for our family of 4. It was more than enough food! As a matter of fact, this is the best hotel lounge! They serve a breakfast buffet with an omelet station (weekend only), light lunch, snack, light dinner, and dessert. We were beyond full by the days end. Plus their selection of drinks were plentiful. Service here was impeccable as every staff member came by to check on us, bring us drinks, clean our plates, and chat. Even on a busy weekend, there's plenty of space to sit. You can spend all day there and we almost did! There's a secret hidden private room with a TV that is great for families.

If you were looking for a great executive (mid-stage beginner, shorter course) golf track, this is…read moreit!! Maintained well enough to be super enjoyable. My wife is a beginner and I try and keep her off big tracks where most men forgot how crappy they were when they started and are in a rush to get around. The cart boy was super friendly and helpful to us, and made my wife feel very comfortable from the moment we were arriving at the course. And also later in the day when we were having difficulties getting something to drink, he assisted us then as well. My only suggestions would be, now caveat here is that they may be impacted by Covid protocol still, but their snack bar was closed by the time we got around the turn at 2:30. It was 105° and even the pro shop was closing and was initially reluctant to sell us anything because they had already started counting the drawer. That is a huge breakdown on the customer service side and on the planning side. If you're going to close early, then put some vending machines out there. Or allow your cart boy to do sales from a cooler. But why would you remove the opportunity for Gatorade, a Coke, power bars, an orange, a banana, you get the idea, quick simple items that can be refrigerated and then put out the next day for members or visitors. I really dislike playing golf courses where there are homes along the fairways, and this course does a great job of giving you ample buffer space for the mischievous, super slice that creeps into my game periodically. I was still able to find my non center hit balls and only lost two balls into the neighbors backyards. They have gorgeous water features on the course. I would recommend that they include a little bit more greenery or a fake middle island on stilts for pond shade because the water isn't very deep and as hot as it gets, I can only imagine the temperature of the water goes well up it is barely sustainable for the nice beautiful large fish they have in their ponds. Overall, for an executive course in the Palm Desert/Palm Springs area, I highly recommend going here. They have a nice grass driving range, clean rolling putting green, and all the basics you need to get great 18 executive holes completed in hot, but fair, resort-like and playable, 4 hours or less. Note, we were here for Labor Day weekend when the state and national parks closed due to the amount of fires in and around campgrounds. So instead of camping we came to Palm Desert. It was hott . Tips, bring an extra towel for each player, like a kitchen sized towel, and keep it wet and put it into the ice cooler that is attached to your golf cart, every three Dash four holes, wrap it around your neck and cool off your overall body temperature. Keep cold water, hydrate, periodically put ice inside of a baseball cap, don't wear a visor, and you will be OK for A great executive course experience.

I arrived at 6:00 am for an early tee time to beat the heat. I was welcomed by Jose and it was a pleasure to meet him. He explained where everything could be located (driving range, chipping area, and the putting green) and got me a cart to hold my clubs. Waters were already in the cart sitting in ice and Jose started to get the range ready so I could hit some balls. The course is tight at times and you definitely need to be able to control the ball as best as you can. The fairways were immaculate and the greens were the same. Greens were slow, and allowed for some aggressive putts. Golf course was an absolute blast and the team working the course is incredible. $59 for a 6:30 Monday tee time, a cart, range balls to hit at my leisure, and a hospitable staff makes this place a must.

We could not find one clean table so spent a fair amount of time cleaning our own as well as the chairs. Pretzel is seriously so good and then it is served with cold processed cheese you'd get at a snack bar and yellow mustard - this pretzel deserves better - a quality beer cheese maybe and stone ground mustard. Bring plates with the pizza and any food - awkward using napkins, especially in the wind, as plates. All this being said we would be back - the pizza alone is worth the trip!
