The Stadium Course at PGA WEST

Course is in great shape; greens were fantastic and quick! Pace of play … bring a book. Make sure to book your time NO LATER than 1:30/1:45 if you want to finish in the daylight. Course is booked (which is good), but the play is slow (course wants a 4.5 hour round)… it was a 5 hour 10 min round on Monday.

Sadly the pace of play ruined what should have been a quality experience at one of my favourite courses in the area. Front side took 2 1/2 hours to play! Waiting on every tee box. Back 9 slightly better at 2:15 hrs. Past times playing here marshalls did a much better job with pace of play.

excellent challenge for those who aspire to play at a higher level

How can you go wrong. Great day no problem finishing either!

The staff was great. The course was terrific. The pace of play was just a little slow not bad. I had a great time.

We love some of the other PGA west courses we’ve played, such as the Nicholas, Norman and Mountain course, but were a little disappointed in the Stadium course. Why are there no GPS systems in the cart? Why was there no explanation on pin placement so you know if it’s in front middle or back of green? All flags were white and we saw nothing on the scorecard indicating anything about pin placement. They were definitely not all middle, all front, or all back. One time at the Nicholas course, they told us that it was going to be front, then middle then back throughout the course. We got no such instruction from the starter on this day. Fortunately, we got a discounted price because we played later in the day, but for the price they charge for playing earlier, you should definitely have GPS in your carts and pin placement information available.

Fortunately, using my Golf Pass membership, the price I paid was reasonable. Otherwise, I didn’t feel the course was worth it. Relatively wide open, ver hilly, fair shape., slow pace of play. I was disappointed that the driving range was closed. I find it very helpful when you can practice before playing. The other golfers I played with were shocked when I told them what I paid. I was lucky enough to get a “ hot deal”, so price I paid was much less than my playing partners. Overall, I would not play it again, since there are many more courses that are more suitable to my game.

No GPS yardage mapping units in the electric carts as most such other high-end coursed provide. The hole flags on the greens were not color coded. No maps of holes on score card. There were several blind approach shots to the greens that were heavily bunkered and surrounded by sand moats. As such, for a new player on this course it was often like trying to pin the tail on the donkey blindfolded. Overall not a good experience.

I'm a 12 and if you get in the traps, which are everywhere prepare to add some strokes. It is also severely sloped so adjusting is so important. Greens are true fairways were nice, it's just challenging. I loved it but wouldn't pay full price to play there.

Been here 4 times before, and this is by far the best conditions and staff experience I have ever had. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic golf experience

The price is significantly higher then a few years ago.

Challenging design.

Punishing for most miss shots

You feel an accomplishment for good shots in some intimidating holes
