Scenic back 9

The PGA West Dye Mountain course is decent although when we played they had recently replaced the greens and they were very firm - approach shots didn’t hold at all.

Scenic back 9.

Good track, but I would put it in the average category for the price compared to other options in Palm Springs//Palm Desert

Course

The course was a bit in a rough shape, but still had fun. Very opened and not too difficult. The starter was absolutely excellent. The best starter. I’ve worked with as he offered great tips to make our round more enjoyable will definitely return.

Better back 9

We played PGA West Dye Mountain course and they have new greens. They were very firm and didn’t hold…but what you’d expect from new greens.

The back nine is tight, more scenic and the better 9. Overall it’s a nice track and a decent bargain for the money for Palm Springs.

Better than all the rest of pga west

Most of these reviews are beyond wrong. They might have suffered storm damage in the fall- but it's back to glorious & a GEM of a course!!! 16 might be the best par three in the desert 🏜- and playing literally in the mountains is an experience like nothing else!!! Viva the Mountain course & it's spectacular views- we will definitely return!!! JP

The course was no where worth the cost. Greens were hard as concrete. Lots of washed out areas. Rough was not looked after.Grounds crew were busy digging and getting in the way. No range. Should have been a significant discount. We will not be back!

Good experience, Riley kept it from being great

First and foremost, this is a gorgeous course with a fantastic layout. First issue, THE RANGE IS CLOSED, its been closed for months and WILL NOT BE OPEN UNTIL SEPTMEBER!!!! We didn't see this posted anywhere until we showed up (no compensation). The pace started off slow but as the tournament ahead of us finished, things picked up a bit. We tee'd off at shortly after 1:30 - knowing that it would likely be close to finishing but with greenfees $160 per person, I still remained hopeful. My two partners tee'd off on 18 and as I was about to take my backswing when the marshall (starter) started telling us quite firmly - "The course is closed, get off the course". I've included a photo of the last tee.. there was absolutely no issues with visibility. I'd expect them to be a bit more lenient with this due to the fact that the pace was slow to start the round, no range and no issues with visibility. This final interaction with Riley left us with a bad taste in our mouths. Sounded like there was a football game he wanted to catch... In a nutshell, the course and views are incredible, the service left a lot to be desired.

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.

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.
