Best Tennis and Pickleball courts in Cathedral City, Riverside County for 2026

Mixed Experience: Be Aware Before Visiting Desert Princess Country Club This review reflects our specific visit on Jan 10 2025. The location and facilities are undeniably beautiful. Most staff were helpful - particularly those managing the carts and other facilities. However, our entire experience was derailed by one tall staff member at the front desk. Several red flags regarding our visit: 1) Confirmed tee time in person, processed payment in person, completed check-in in person - yet access was denied after our clubs were already being loaded onto the cart. The tall front desk staff member suddenly denied access due to dress code with a big grin on his face -- which wasn't mentioned during booking, payment, OR check-in, all of which were in person. 2) Multiple public confrontations by said person in front of other guests 3) Notably different treatment between regular members and visiting guests - despite being guests at the hotel on the property 4) Communication issues with ESL-speaking family members that felt unnecessarily difficult and humiliating While the driving range was adequate, the overall experience was disappointing given the club's reputation. The most concerning aspect was the stark contrast in how different guests were treated. Positive notes: 1) Beautiful grounds 2) Well-maintained facilities 3) Some staff members were professional Suggestions for management: - Review front desk staff training on guest communications - Provide policies at time of booking - Ensure consistent treatment of all guests, not a subset of guests that look like the front desk employees IMPORTANT: Would strongly recommend confirming ALL policies and requirements in writing before booking. Despite completing everything in person and having helpful interactions with other staff, one person's actions prevented us from accessing the golf course. Your experience may vary.
