Good overall

Course is nice, the greens are a little rough, but they are making effort to get them back in shape. Just that time of year in the desert that the greens are not in good shape. I’m sure during the peak season the greens will be in great shape from the attention to detail I saw there.

Average (Torn up Wet Greens)

Played at 1:12pm tee time. All open for a summer Sunday , barely any golfers. Good layout, bad greens, they were torn up with dirt patches and were wet from watering so no grabbing the green when spinning the ball. Also $35 spectator fee. Recommend paying only $40 or less for this course if in same condition when you play.

Nice course, bad greens

Nice course , great staff but the greens were horrible. A lot of patch work and burnt out areas on quite a few greens.

Which made for inconsistency on the speed of the greens!

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

Realizing this is transition time for the grass from rye to Bermuda, it was still unacceptable conditions. The fairways and greens had NO grass on them in many places, and what grass was there was so sparse it might as well not have been there.

Water is the answer to make Bermuda grow back in, and it's quite obvious they aren't applying enough. I've played 4 courses in the last two weeks in the valley and they were all in better shape. Save your money, go somewhere else until November when the rye is overseeded again.

Eat your Greens more like Cleveland Browns

The place is spectacular with the friendly staff, range & layout. Even the temperature was perfect for late May. The greens however are very sad, they seem to have some kind of algae or disease on them, many were torn up, bumpy & spotty in several areas. I know course maintenance is about to go down in July but maybe they want to move it up. Sad part was I hyped this place up so much to my friends who came out to play, then to have these kind of greens at a PGA West Course is rather embarrassing, I think I apologized several times. We will return & will play this course again, just going to give it some time to heal properly.

PGA West, Pete Dye - pretty good

The course itself was in decent shape, but the greens were more like browns. There were many, especially on the front 9 that were just dirt or mud.
