Excellent Challenge

Driving range was closed and they had a few wet/soggy areas around the course due to heavy rains a few days before. I would definitely like to play this course again but I wouldn’t pay the standard rate of approximately $250 per round.

Terrible greens.

Greens hard as rock. Made the experience of a "highly rated" course very unenjoyable.

Great Day, Course Recovering

Our foursome played the course on Jan 31st and had a great time. We were not able to finish 18 holes as our tee time was at 1:50 and there were some slow groups ahead, but that is not the courses fault. The course is recovering from water damage from around Christmas time last year. All of the greens have been replaced and are coming in nicely, but there are areas of the course that were under water for some time that are still struggling to come back. The driving range is not open due to the water damage as well so that was disappointing having no way to warm up before staring your round. At this time, they thought it might be another week or two before it opens unless they get more rain, and then it might be quite some time before it opens up.

The off course amenities are ok, but nothing worth writing home about. Lots of good merch in the pro shop. It would be nice to have ball washer on the cart, and gps/range finders could speed up play.

Will play again when the course is completely healthy.

Course greens condition was very poor.

The greens were very poor with no holding them even from the fairway. Remarkably slow and bumpy. Many areas were recently underwater along the fairways, which was very surprising.

Nice layout but greens are a bit rough

Enjoyed the round even though the greens were a bit bumpy and had recently been sanded.

Hugely disappointing

I was really excited to play here but with the driving range closed and the front nine playing like a bad muni my enthusiasm was dulled. The back 9 was beautiful but overall the experience was not good.

Breathtaking

This is the course you want to play when you come to Palm Springs. It is cut right out of the mountain and each hole more magnificent than the last! The course is tough, but if you play your shots to the right spots, you can score out here. If you only have one round, don't worry about the cost and play this course.

The Mountain Course has seen better days for sure!

One of my favorite courses from coast to coast, however Mother Nature had not been nice to the Valley the past week. Multiple holes had been affected by the deluge of rain. After 17 years of playing PGA West, this is probably the worst I have seen it.

That being said sadly it was also probably one of the most unfriendly visits to the Mountain Course as well. The new management/owner may not have the same customer service mentality that I have always affiliated with the entire PGA West group of courses and staff. I guess times have changed and it is starting to show…..perhaps not always in a good way. #bummer #lossofagoodthing #didn’tseemspecial

When you find a gem like PGA West and have visited it many times over the past 17 years, it brings a frown to my face knowing it no longer seems to be that special place it once was.

However, will I play the course again? Yes. Do I feel it needs to polish a few rough areas to bring the sparkle back to that what it used to be….. A DEFINITE YES. But I have hopes they will soon.

Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful course. Stunning views. Get your camera ready for hole 16. Recent flooding had it not in the best of shape but if your on the fairway you are golden.

Great golf and stunning views

Excellent resort golf course not too long but challenging to play. Course condition have been good from tee to green. Only little negative was the practice which was closed because of flooding earlier in the month.

Avoid this course

This is a pga west course. So it should be top level. It was not. The two women working the pro shop were rude. The driving range was closed, no gps on carts and the course had damage from recent flood and was unplayable on front nine. It smelled like sewage and on some holes you couldnt retrieve your ball due to mud and flooding. The front nine should be closed. The starter was rude and unfriendly. Avoid course no matter the deal and golf now should not have this course as an option currently

Course is damaged

This is usually our favorite course. We redeemed all our GolfNow credits to get $140 rate from probably $200. They are still pumping water out of low lying areas. There is a stench. Shame on PGA West for charging regular rates for a significantly damaged course. The driving range is closed due to damage as well.

A Dye disappointment

The course suffered significant damage from flooding last September. Driving range closed and several areas still unplayable due to water. It smells in several locations. The greens, which I understand had just been completed before the flooding are anything but green, more brown and slow. I think GOLF NOW should have made me aware if these conditions before getting a time. The rate was $142 which should have been no more than half given the above. I’d recommend NOT playing this course till they get the course back into play. Also shocking that the course does NOT have a GPS system on the carts— are you kidding me?? Truly a Dye disappointment.

The Mountain is always a great experience

As I have played the Mountain multiple times, it was again an excellent experience. Course conditions were great in despite of the flooding which happened a month ago, the lay out is varied and challenging without being too difficult and too long. A pity that the practice was closed so we had to start without warming up a situation handled by the reception on a pretty rude manner.

No driving range and course recently under water

Currently the driving range is closed and the front nine are VERY rough since the course was recenty under water. Holes 1 and 9 smell really bad (like sewage?) and much of the fairways are muddy ground under repair. I would wait to play this course until they get things fixed. The back 9 (which didn't have the flooding problem) is beautiful but hard to get through the front 9 with all the issues.
