PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

So let me say first that we only played front 9 in a twilight round, so didn't see it all, but green fee was great. Also, we are duffers so played shorter tees.

The holes we played were basically 9 straight holes (no dog legs) with wide fairways. The challenge sarts when you get within 40 yards of the pin. Greens are small and challenging and guarded by numerous bunkers and deep depressions in mounds.

In summary, 9 straight holes is boring for all levels of golfer. Extremely difficult greens, etc make it difficult to unpleasant for a novice or duffer.

Finally, course layout criss-crosses itself with minimal signage. If this seems like I am going on and on, the staff give you a 10 minute instruction at the first tee so you don't get lost.

Pete Dye is one of the greatest golf architects, but this was a swing and a miss. Mountain course is a little more money but well worth it.

Perfect conditions and excellent pace of play

I expected more for 218 green fee. If I wanted to play through condo lined fairways I would have sought out a cheaper venue.

Play here alot, Course plays longer than stated yardage on card. Greens are firm and true. Afternoon M-th best right now teed off 315 finished b4 dark at $70 this course is a steal.

the front was a great pace, the back however was very slow and affected the rhythm of the game for all.

Course is in excellent conditions and always the friendliest staff to add to your amazing experience
