The Stadium Course at PGA WEST

There should’ve been an alert warning “cart path only for overseeding”! Hard course for our skill level but not being able to drive to where our ball landed made the round very challenging!!!

Not a great course, it is flat/boring, dated and ugly except for a few memorable holes. In bad shape compared to other premium courses in the area, with brown grass in many areas. I imagine the only reason they host the Q school here is, the giant range complex and the course is obviously very difficult from the tips, with lots of water. I would only play it again if someone else was paying.

Was lucky enough to snag a late-afternoon tee time on a hot deal. Super impressed with the course conditioning coming out of overseed. Teeboxes were mint, fairways were great, as were the greens despite being a bit on the slow slide. Friendly staff abound, too! Most important, pace was incredibly quick (~4hrs) and we managed to squeeze in 18 as the sun was setting.

Played a few times seen course in better condition previously

Had a great day. Overalls conditions for the time of year were very good, and the layout of the course was great.

Currently reading a history book on Q-School. Nice to experience what I found in the pages. Was pleased how well I played. It was that rare good day for my game. The staff at the course is excellent. Although I should quit while I'm ahead, I'll be back. Thanks for a grand experience.

Everything about the our day of golf was just a great experience. Great company, staff super friendly, and the course was beautiful. The only reason I gave the course a 4 for conditioning was this time of year courses are transitioning. Still in very good shape. Can’t wait to watch the tournament this year and say I played that course!

This is my first time playing at PGA West and I was very impressed with the everything (Staff, Course conditions and layout, amenities.) The starter let me tee off a little early which allowed me to finish all 18 holes before dark. I will definitely come back and play Stadium course again soon.

Great day on the course! The rough was just cut. The greens rolled true.

Played PGA West Nicolas on 9/16/23. Their website did not mention that the greens were sanded and the rough uncut. If you are a scratch golfer you will probably be fine. If you miss the fairway the rough is so thick even if you have a basic idea where it landed you can kiss the ball goodbye. I find it very dishonest not to advertise on their website the poor conditions of their course. They even warned us that the conditions were bad. Thanks for nothing. Traveled 3 hours to get there and prepaid for the round.

Do yourself a favor and make sure the course is properly prepared especially early season. If the greens are sandy and the rough has not be cut stay away if you like your balls.

Unhappy golfer.

Not sure if it was due to the rough length or overbooking or too many bad golfers but our round was 45 minutes behind the suggested pace and we walked off after 16 holes. Course for late summer was in okay shape, slow greens and dense rough, nice tee boxes and pretty decent fairways. Bunkers were pretty good.

The course is beautiful but the rough immediately off the fairways and greens is about 7 inches deep and thick. If you just barely miss a fairway our green and even if you have a real good idea where you landed you can kiss the ball good bye. I lost 7 balls on the first nine holes. You can’t find them unless you step on it and if you do it’s impossible too hit any decent shot out of it. T took all the enjoyment out of what should have been a fun round on a great layout.
