Course Highlights
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.

Stay out of the sand traps and it's very scorable.

Expensive muni

Uphill,downhill,sidehill,sand,mud,sand,sand.every green high up and surrounded by sand and grass bunkers. The greens were very very slow. But hey it's a Pete Dye course. The staff was very friendly and lunch was good. Four holes are on the valley floor (ad photos) the rest wind thru a housing development.

New find

Played this years ago, I did not care for it. They have made some changes to the track, much more player friendly. I'll be back!

Resort Friendly

This course is in the PGA West family, however it isn’t quite PGA worthy. You will never see a PGA event here. Course is in good shape. Fairways are great, greens good and rough is inconsistent from hole to hole. Staff friendly. Didn’t get to use the range as it hadn’t opened yet for the day. Intimating first hole if you haven’t had a couple of swings on the range.

Slow greens & long fairways

Excellent layout but the fairways were long so tough to spin ball or get any rollout from drives. Greens were slow.

Course under repair

It was cart path only, which is always a pain in the butt and makes it very difficult to keep pace.. Almost every hole had a large swath of dead brown grass or dirt, and all the greens were sandy. Disappointing for the PGA West brand and the start of our vacation.

Good layout!

Our group enjoyed our 1st time at The Dunes layout. The course was a little beat up from the tournament earlier in the day, but greens in good shape!
