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.

Beautiful course!

It’s a typical Pete Dye course where bunkers are strategically placed for frustration if you hit a great drive or a great approach shot.

Greens ran a little fast and of course some holes had water to deal with surrounding the greens which made it also tough when getting out of a bunker.

Overall it’s beautiful and challenging and I would definitely return to play it again and again.

Great Pace

Played at 07:30 was finished at 11:45. Course pace was great. They are getting ready overseed it I believe but it’s in great condition compared to many others in the area. The greens rolled slower than I’m use to for Desert golf but that’s fine with me. Played it for $100 and thought it was great value. Would recommend this course to anyone while the others are being over seeded.

Perfect Day

1st ones teeing off, finished in about 3.5hrs. Course was in great shape. Loved the views with the mountains. Every hole had it's own challenges. I am not a very good golfer, but I enjoyed the difficulties and the sense of accomplishment when I hit it well. Will definitely be playing again.

Beautiful but difficult

Gorgeous course, immaculate condition. The staff was extremely friendly, especially Rich. Keep in mind this course seems like it was designed to punish mediocre golfers so I had a difficult time. Many tee shots over water, and hazards for those with a slice. Motivates me to get better so I don’t lose so many balls next time I play. This course will heavily test your tee shots and second shots, as the greens are usually surrounded by bunkers.
