PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

Coarse was nice but not what we expected from a PGA coarse for on coarse amenities. You don't come back to the clubhouse after 9 and there was nothing in the coarse to get food or drinks. Just ice and water. I expected better there but the coarse was good otherwise.

PGA West is a treat, and an iconic golf course in a legendary area that is draped in beauty from start to finish. That being said, you are gonna pay for it. The tee times are only the first hurdle. I was prepared for that, but if you are going to charge the premium+ price you better have the goods. The course itself was nearly flawless. And difficult. Great track. However, we saw the beverage cart 1 time during our over 4 hour round. Clearly the exhorbranent greens fees aren't being used to pay the staff.

A 12oz. Michelob Ultra was $9!! Also, the on cart GPS was not great. After 3 holes I gave up on trying to connect to the in cart speaker and just used my own. Also, all white flags🤔

The cart gave yardage front/back/middle but without a range finder I couldn't tell where the flag was and it was often mislabeled on the GPS. The greens are very challenging and without this precision you can gather a lot of strokes. The GPS often switched holes while I was calculating an approach and couldn't get any useful yardage. After the round...a beautiful sunset. Picturesque mountain views, but no vibe. The clubhouse was basically shut down. Golf simulators were turned off and dark. Outside service guys had one foot out the door. Again it feels like the money isn't getting to the staff and you can feel it. They didn't seem happy to be there.

These days, I'm not returning to a place to pay $200 for a round of golf and not feel the love. Other courses are more than half that price and they feel more welcoming.

Good for a splurge, but my golf dollar goes way further elsewhere.

Pete Dye did it again. He beat me up on the great design greens Fairways were beautiful and the rough was PGA style long Sand really sucked because there was none

This is a go to course in the valley always in good shape and fairly priced definitely recommend 👌 👍.

Layout is generally difficult … but greens are super tough when they’re as firm as they were when we played. Would need to be softened up to make it more enjoyable to play. Pretty standard Pete Dye crazy stuff

Challenging greens guarded by sand traps and target fairways made it difficult for beginners to play. The course was in excellent condition- tee blocks, fairways, and greens.

If you are 15+ handicapper you most likely won’t shoot well at this course. As with any Pete Dye course the elevated greens penalize an inaccurate approach shot. Shots that would normally stay on the green roll off and even your green side chip and sand shots often result in another green side chip or sand shot.

Fairly flat with thick rough and some water. I was expecting more desert conditions on the course. Sand bunkers were hard with very little sand. Greens were fast and fair.
