Great COURSE!!
I was intimidated when I read all the reviews about the firmness of the greens and the difficulty of the layout so the first couple holes were a little shaky but after some adjustments and proper strategy.... It was on and cracking!!! The conditions were excellent, The fairways were pure, the greens were fast but awesome. They came around numerous times to offer us more bottled water and wet towels!!! We were made to feel special which just added to the entire experience. We had a blast!! I cannot wait to play here and all the other PGA West Courses!!! Top level service!!!

Tough, hot but honest golf test
First off...obviously it was hot. Bring water...and towels to keep wet and cool off often. Starter warned us that this would be a tough course...and he was right. Greens were almost clown golf with all the undulations. Had a grest time before during and after.
