PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

We played this course several years ago and it was one of our favorites. I was greatly disappointed on my return. The starter mentioned they had redone the greens last year and they were hard and not holding shots very well. I could of lived with that change but wasn't ready for, nor a fan of, the complete reshaping of the greens that make them play like an upside down bowl. I lost count of how many shots I thought were decent enough to end up on the green but discovered the ball had found an area that ran off down to a swale. Left, right, short, long, the run-offs were everywhere. Never again at the Dunes.

Wonderful day at the Dunes,

The greens are really tough to play.

Really sloppy and hard.

The difficulty is really around the greens.

Have played here many times in the past. Always thought the course was a challenge but fair. Did not like the recent changes to the course. Arrived to find out there was no GPS on the cart. The driving range was hitting off the mat and the golf balls were coated in sand. The greens were changed to the original design which meant larger and the shoulders were rounded. The greens would not hold a shot and rolled off. Not sure who the course is designed for but it obviously was not

Typical Pete Dye course, visually intimidating tee shots , runoffs on greens and perfectly placed bunkers.

I have played couple of the PGA west courses before I would say that this one was special price. Even though the undulated dream possible sometimes, it couldn’t have been more beautiful and fun. The views of the golf course from any hole are spectacular and the mountain, La Quinta Cove backdrop is breathtaking. It’s a fantastic course in fantastic condition and even if you are not a low handicap golfer, you are sure to have a blast and enjoy pristine condition of this fabulous course.

Always enjoy playing the Pete Dye Dunes course. I want to take a moment and comment on the staff. From the start we arrived we were greeted with friendly bag attendants to great pro shop staff, starter and course marshal. Had drinks and appetizers to finish the day with a great view of the golf course, can’t beat the weather either, Thanks to a great team effort at your course. Indio

The greens are tough. You need to be accurate or your ball ran off the greens. The starter let us on early and we finished our round in less than 4 hours

This course was tough! Lots of water to negotiate and very difficult rough areas.

If you’re looking for a resort type course, that’s fun to play with family or friends. This one isn’t for you.

It’s a Pete dye course. Tough as nails but fair if you choose the right tees for you. Decent layout, needs a few more weeks to mature.

The course was beautiful. Great condition and layout.
