PGA West Dunes delivers a challenging layout with undulating greens, strategic water hazards, and well-maintained fairways that consistently impress desert golfers. Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, combined with strong value for money, make this a must-play desert destination.

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.

Fun & Challenging Track

First timer on this links course. Course staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The course was in great shape. Signage could be a little better to help navigate the 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.
