PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

View from elevated clubhouse was spectacular, unfortunately that was the highlite of this course.

Diving range was nice which made me think the course would follow suit. I couldn't have been more wrong. This course was built on what appeared to be a flood plain that was designed with tall banks of grassy weeds that lined most every fairway on both sides and because of there steepness almost unplayable.

The greens were like concrete and were unable to hold any approach shot. With all the nice couses that Palm Springs area has to offer I selected a dud this round.

With that being said the staff was very friendly and the weather was fantastic.

Beautiful course and layout. Course was in immaculate condition. Pace was a little slow, but I plan on playing again.

Pro shop check in and welcome.-average. Starters..-excellent...Pace of play. -good. Greens..- slowish. Course conditions - good. Might play again depending on price -.not worth over $110.

Just not kept as well as the Mountain, and was the same price. Great layout.

Please put sand in the bunkers! It's really a crime. Effen concrete brah. The course is in very good to excellent condition otherwise. C'mon guys!

Will play again. Very friendly and helpful staff. Challenging golf course back nine more so than the front. One small complaint is the greenside bunkers could use more sand in them.

It’s too bad that one apple can spoil the bunch. We came a long way to play and were impressed from the moment we walked in the course. Excellent atmosphere and staff at pro shop and bag drop off. This course is challenging and picturesque. We were paired with a couple of our caliber and we appreciated regular attendance from the cart girl. We knew based on our tee time it was going to be tight to finish 18, but at hole 10 we inquired about how quickly it would get dark and we were told to make a choice at hole 13 to proceed or not as it got too dark and the “Marshall” had to bring guests back in the dark. We were 15 minutes ahead of pace at this point. Well the Marshall hovered over us and we proceeded. At hole 15 when it was still dusk,he came and said we had to come back. We were still capable of seeing our ball and said we would continue. He said “ you will finish if I decide you are finished!” I proceeded to say “ I’ve paid good money to play and I’ll decide when I’m finished” he said “ everyone says that!”

I honestly was floored. I’ve never had a ruder Marshall and quite frankly this guy just wanted to go home on a Friday night.It completely angered the whole group and we got all 18 in and it was dark but we could still see and play. This is really a shame because it was our first time playing here but with all the choices of courses in the Palm Springs area it sure doesn’t give us incentive to come again.Hopefully you don’t have the same experience.

What a wonderful day. Played in about 4 hours course is immaculate. Staff friendly, practice free and driving range very nice. Would and will come back to PGA west

Compared to last match 2024, the greens held better and rolled smoothly. Still they are dome of the most evil greens in the area.

We had a 1:05 start, Marshals did an excellent job moving folks along, managed to get in 16 holes before the sun set. The course is in great shape.

Only negative, being picky here, irons only on the range. Everything else, staff, conditions, carts, clubhouse and food was exceptional. Played in 4 hours and 22 min, for the difficult around the greens I think that was great. Played from the tips at a 5 index, 6,600 yards, Made the decision on distance, after playing moving up would have been less work. Challenging but what a day out there, sensational.

Again very slow. Chastised by ranger since my grandchild had his small clubs in my bag. Starter thought it okay. Ranger almost kicked me off the course since he did not have a big. This outfit does NOT like children on the course even if they are good golfers!!

Front desk check in ladies very rude. We were threesome. Starter tried putting our single w another golfer in his cart. We told starter the single he was trying to put us with was leaving after nine holes and we weren’t going back to clubhouse to get another cart after nine. Starter came up with some comment said he couldn’t have that many carts out on course. Sorry we paid for the cart use for18 holes. Got tired of arguing with Marshal and he finally let us go. Marshals on every hole not doing their job keeping play moving.

Greens were outstanding for this time of year. Pin placements were tough but a lot of fun, good speed on greens made this an enjoyable round.
