PGA WEST Pete Dye Mountain Course

Several tee options to choose from. Fun to play, wide fairways, beautiful views of the mountains and valley.

As part of the PGA Family Championship, we played the Mountain course. The greens were just redone lie the Dunes but they are far more playable than the Dunes.

The back 9 closing holes are truly memorable. You work your way into the mountains and the views are amazing.

Off the tee, aggressive play is rewarded if you execute your shot.

Once the greens mature this course will be 5 star in my opinion.

Decent layout. The back 9 seems better than the front. This course seems plagued with slow play, lots of waiting. Staff seemed more interested in giving you directions to leave before dark than speeding up play so you could finish. Not worth the twilight discount because the best part of the course seems to be the back nine and you won’t get to see it with the slow pace of play.

Course was in poor shape. Greens were dry and wouldn't hold approach shots. Tee boxes are in terrible condition. Play was super slow - 5 + hours. Had to quit on 16 as there were 3 groups waiting on a par 3.

Setting is just right. It's against the mountain to give that feeling this is the course how it will play. So it's kind of a links style, great holes, the second hole you better have your long irons warmed up. ( only down fall is irons at the range only). From white 175 yds. Water running down the left side up to the green, jetting back and forth to the green. Right side up and down hills just to give you that awkward lie. and the green, size of a nickle.....good luck!. The rest is Pete design to challenge your game. But that's the front nine lualling you to sleep, get to 10 you better coffee up, Red Bull or whatever it takes to get you fired up. Back nine your playing in and really along the mountain. You put your pencil and play and enjoy the moments. The 16th regardless of your play you have to play off the black or whites. It's like Pete was sitting there with favorite drink on his Adirondack chair to design this par 3. It's a Pete Dye moment hole. Awesome view. Know problem recommending this course to a friend, enemy, stranger on the street. A must play.

This course is not in good shape and is a difficult course,

there are no signs and it is confusing to find the way to the next hole.

Hole #9 is undergoing some changes and there are no signs to indicate what and where a player should play, as well some employee stands out on the green shouting at people where to take carts. Frankly i fouund the way players being treated quite disgusted ! some well placed signs would eliminate the confustion.

Not sure i would play either of these two courses, again , ever !

Booked a round at PGA West Mountain course with the anticipation of a premium course and had an entirely different experience. Course was in terribly poor condition for the price of admission. Carts don’t have gps on them whereas budget course around here do…. Extremely lame scrambling to find an app to give us gps information that is now standard on today’s golf courses.

Greens were newly planted and basically hard packed dirt with some tiny hybrid green coming up. Greens were crunching under our feet. There was numerous places throughout the course that was under heavy repair and roped off including a large portion of hole 9 that was an open sink hole.

Pace of play was terrible. We spent 10+ minutes waiting to tee off at nearly every hole. Tee time was at 1pm and starter told us we might get through hole 12…. We finished 14 holes and missed signature holes through the mountain ranges.

Overall I wish we had gone anywhere else. We played shadow mountain the day before and should have gone back there. Other than stunning views, everything else was lacking or just plain disappointing imo. Disappointing for a course that was towards the top of my list for the area. We wont be going back with so many better options in the area.

Slow pace and slow greens. Hope that the course plays a bit better once the seeding has grown out a little.

First, the starter changed our tee time to allow 6 guys to play back-to-back without asking us. What unfolded was the 6 guys proceeded to play as all 6-some. The Pro shop was called and marshal sent out. Broke up the group but as soon as the marshal was out of sight proceeded to play as 6. Marshals drove through but never addresses the problem. Made for an extremely long round, over 5 hours.

The course was in poor condition. The tea boxes are uneven. The fairways are poor, and for the price that we paid we could've played a public course in better condition. It's not even close to being worth the money. There's a few holes on the back nine that have spectacular views but overall, it's an average course that's not kept up very well.
