I recently played in a tournament at the Desert Willow property. We played both courses. The…read morecourse and the conditions were immaculate. Could not have been in better condition. What stood out the most though was the incredibly helpful and friendly staff. I want to give a particularly big thank you to the director of food and beverage, Keith Sansone. He helped me with something that was incredibly gracious and kind of him, he went above and beyond what you'd expect from most golf resorts. There are many many properties out in the Palm Springs Palm Desert area. I've played at almost all of them. Desert Willow hands-down has the best team of people working and supporting their operations. And as anybody could probably tell you, kind, friendly, and attentive staff make all of the difference in having a mediocre experience or having an absolutely fantastic experience. Thank you to all of the team members at Desert Willow and I cannot wait to come back.

I've been playing golf for a while, but I have never taken any golf lesson in my life. Greg was…read moreamazing. He breaks down the golf swing so well, and he helped me to learn how to properly set up, grip, and swing the clubs. I've never hit over 160 with my 8 iron. It usually flies low and goes about 120~140, but after the lesson, I went to my regular practice range, and I realize I'm able to hit 160 with 8 iron, 170 with 7 and 180 with 6 iron straight and they all fly high. This is going to change my game completely! I can't wait for hitting more balls tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to seeing him for the second lesson in the near future! Thank you Greg!

First, I came here to visit the restaurant during a long tour. I think the area is beautiful and…read moreit was well manicured. I love pretty places so this met that mark. The bathroom was nice and clean, which is always an incredible plus. Other than that, I will only rate the restaurant Bellatrix. The food looked really good and I was so happy to have a bite of everything. It actually did all taste very good. We had a buffet set up, which had manicotti, some sort of chicken Parmesan, broccolini, and bread. I loved all of it and even went back for more manicotti. I will say that their Arnold Palmer was really weak though, and I was very disappointed by that. I couldn't really taste tea or lemonade. Someone in my group said it was their first time having an Arnold Palmer and they were wondering what all the hype was. I asked them to give it another try somewhere else. Anyway, lovely location for lunch. They were very efficient and got to us quickly, which was great.

I bought a bucket hat before the round that I DID NOT WEAR. I took it into the pro shop to exchange it for another hat after the round and Michael Reese (likey MOD) would not do it. Said there was a stain inside the hat. I said how do you know I didn't buy it like that. People try hats on. He said he couldn't sell it like that. But he sold it to me like that. This is just awful customer service. Error on the side of the customer especially since my foursome spent nearly $1500 here today. This guy sucks. What a chump.

Finally after playing golf for 40 years I went to get fitted for clubs. I went to KZG and met Brad…read moreWhalen. Brad is a complete professional and knows what he is talking about. If you want to play with better clubs that are suited to your game, see Brad. Anyway I bought a driver and set of irons 4-SW. Brad recommended 4 wedges for my game and they have been working out great. I went back this week to add a hydride and 3 wood. I love the feel of the KZG clubs. I was hitting each one a bit further then my own. My wife was with me watching the process. She is a golfer too. Brad suggested she hit a few balls with her clubs. She then hit some KZG 3 woods and hydrids. Brad gave her some valuable instruction on her swing. Here is the point of this review. At no time did Brad pressure her to buy clubs. In fact he suggested she use her current 3 wood more often and then in the future if she wanted to be fitted come back to see him. All that at no charge. Brad took at least 30 minutes out of his day for her. All I can say is Brad is a hell of a guy, an excellent player and will fit you for clubs you need. Thanks Brad!

Very odd in a sense which didn't feel right. Then we found this place driving by. It's a massive store. Plenty of parking out front. Front the outside it just looks like your usual store but once inside, it's like a mega golf store. Theres literally everything and anything you needed. Right at the front was where the replacement section was. The gentleman's working were very sweet in explaining everything and helping us out with picking what we need. One was doing all the replacements while the other one was helping us out. From there, it just takes a couple minutes. It was fine which gave us time to walk around and check the store out. We literally only did half of the store as it was massive. There's sections along the sides where you can practice your swings electronically. A putting green right in the middle to practice. Besides all the clubs and accessories, half of the store had a big apparel department with loads to choose from. There was so many clubs to choose from as well as whatever you may or may not need. If you're a golfer, this is like Willy Wonka factory but golf. Worth checking out.

After spending thousands of dollars at PGA Superstore over the years and consistently having…read morepositive experiences, I was shocked by the way I was treated during my visit today. I was testing out a putter on the practice green and simply moving golf balls out of the holes and toward the side of the putting surface when an employee abruptly approached me in a rude and demeaning manner, accusing me of "kicking his balls," which was completely untrue. The way he spoke to me was unnecessary, insulting, condescending, and unprofessional from the very beginning. When I asked for his name, he replied "Jim, the assistant manager" with a cocky attitude before walking away. About 10 minutes later, after apparently getting off his shift and changing clothes, Jim approached me again and sarcastically asked if I needed help with the putter. Considering the disrespectful way he had already spoken to me, I found it strange and antagonistic that he came back over at all. I told him I didn't understand why he was even speaking to me after treating me the way he did. The entire interaction left me feeling disrespected and uncomfortable, especially coming from someone in a management position. I will be contacting corporate because customers should never be treated in such a hostile and condescending manner.
