The Stadium Course at PGA WEST

Everything was perfect, course conditions, weather, pace of play, stuff...

While it's tough, it's not as difficult as I thought coming into the round. That said, we played the blue tees, not the black (tips). Course was in good shape with the PGA Tour event coming in about a month. Greens were a little inconsistent and not as quick as I thought they'd be, but still will challenge you. Have to be in the right spot. If you are striking it well, you can post a good round here. If you're a little bit off, it will frustrate you and beat you up. Making birdie at Alcatraz with the grandstands surrounding the green will be a nice memory. It will cost a good amount to play here. I'd say it's worth no more than $200 unless it's in outstanding condition. You pay for the name and the resort more than anything.

A 5:05 hour round is unacceptable. Finished the first nine in 2: 45 on track for 51/2 hours for the round! Playing the last 2 holes in the dark when starting at noon is poor. Not worth the cost of playing. Cancelled rounds at the Tournament and Greg Norman as a result since both were also at noon.

Overall, still a very good experience. Having said that, the golf course is not what it was 15 years ago. They’ve taken down so many trees! Also, for what they’re charging the greens should be perfect. They were running no more than seven and were bumpy and shaggy. They posted 9.5 at the starters shack. lol! Maybe downhill at 7:30 in the morning.

Always love playing this course. Was able to get a last-minute deal for $110. At that price it’s an absolute steal! Would never pay $300 rack rate for this though.

Course is as expected fairly soon after overseed. greens are rolling approximately eight and are very bumpy. Fairways are super lush and in beautiful condition.

Staff was friendly. All of the range balls are brand new food and the restaurant was good.!

Beautiful course, greens were great! Poor pace of play, I’d say a 6 hour round so book before noon ! We DID NOT FINISH at the 1:30 tee time !

This review will be a bit jaded because I played with James Hahn during the American Express Pro-Am. What an experience. Even playing as a shamble, my fivesome found the course fearsome. The mounds lining the fairways set up awkward lies to greens fortified by bunkers and steep falloffs. Everybody but one teammate rinsed their tee shots in the water on 'Alcatraz', the island par 3. The pros make this place look too easy. It's intimidating to play for everyone else.
