PGA West Pete Dye Course

First, let me say that I played this course last week and had very high ratings but this round was terrible for course conditions. The course is closing at the end of the month to redo all the greens and it looks like maintenance has sprayed grass killer on the greens and fringe, it’s all dead and brown. The greens are unputtable, if that’s a word. The greens are so hard and slick that approach shots don’t stay on the green. The course should not have been open for play with these conditions. Add to the fact, there were people trimming palm trees, maintenance staff working on irrigation systems right next to the green on 15/tee box on 16, they didn’t care about the noise they were making. And don’t forget the pickup truck driving across the fairways. If they are closing next week, why can’t this maintenance wait until they close. My other problem, you can’t hit woods on the driving range, a class facility like this and the range is irons only.

I’ll return to the area next year and I hope they have fixed these issues.

PGA West Pete Dye Dunes Course

From dropping your bag off to the staff in the pro shop, the bar, and the guys you meet after finishing your round, the hospitality is incredible! The practice facility is top rate. The course is in great shape though it’s hard to hold the greens with your approach shot but the greens putt true but not to quick.

For the Golf Now discount, can’t beat the deal. Highly recommend!!

Great Course and Staff

First off, the staff was fantastic. They helped from unloading the clubs, getting checked in, shopping in the Clubhouse, giving us tips on playing the course and cleaning the clubs at the end. The course was in great shape and VERY challenging. It was a great experience playing a PGA Course.

A Friendly Handshake to Pete Dye

Welcome to the Penal School of architecture, at PGA West Dunes. Played her for the first time today, and conditions were great. Staff was friendly, and course is a fair challenge. Precision on approach to small is a premium, or else be prepared for tough up an downs. Finishing holes are the highlight. If you can’t control your irons or wedges this might not be a fun round.

Can’t wait to try Mountain later this weekend.
