PGA WEST Pete Dye Mountain Course

After a big rain the evening before our scheduled round, we got a notice of cart path only. I called to cancel since I have a “dropped” foot and couldn’t play a round for cart path only.

The golf shop was great and said they didn’t think I would be charged but it was up to the manager. Two weeks later the charge appeared on my credit card and I have not received a returned call.

It’s clear the “management” team is all about the $, Don’t plan on playing at PGA again.

Course views are one of the best in the world. However, course quality was very bad. Greens especially. Condition was slow, probably 6.5 stimp or so.

Pace of play really bad too many golfers out (more than booked tee times for sure).

Overpriced at the moment but when the course is good it’s a lovely experience.

I loved the course but:

1. I called the course prior to 9 AM to find out if the driving range was open. I called three different numbers, 7605647686 recording said the course was closed as of the 1 Aug for aeration, the second number 7605647101 the recording said it was full and would not take anymore calls, the third number 7605647610 recording said to call the Stadium Course. After 9 AM I finally got a human who told me the driving range was open.

2. finding the entrance to the pro shop was confusing as the clubhouse was being renovated and the main entrance was closed. Entrance to the pro shop was through a side door. There were no signs indicating this. The same thing for the washrooms. The washrooms were in a trailer out side at the opposite side of the building. No signs indicating this nor were we advised by staff where the temporary washrooms were. Left to wonder around in 95 degree heat trying to open locked doors.

3. got to the driving range early to try out my new driver. At the driving range there are signs that say only irons can be used at the driving range! If the website or staff on the phone advised me this was the case I would not of arrived early to use a driving range that is only allowing irons to be hit.

I have played PGA West courses before but not the Mountain course. Putting this as politely as I can, I would expect a little more organization than what we encountered yesterday.

Course was disappointing, not enough separation between holes and greens are to close to tee boxes.

No adequate locker room or restaurant facilities due to renovations.

First time players must review the course layout. Do your homework. This layout will catch you of guard if your not paying attention. Driver isn’t needed on every tee shot. I would never pay 200 for this track. Golf now has a better price. $63. This is a municipal track, and just because it says PGA West doesn’t make it better. Can’t wait to play it again. Now that I know the layout.

Although my score was disappointing, the same cannot be said regarding the amazing views throughout this golf course. My wife and I have been visiting this course for the past dozen years just admiring the views from the clubhouse. We are usually here in February and the course is typically out of my price range but this year we are here in October and the opportunity presented itself. The clubhouse and restaurant was closed for renovations..This course although difficult for a hacker like myself provides a memorable experience. Expertly manicured with unbelievable. The expert staff are all very friendly and there to ensure you enjoy your round. Oh .. and the 16th T is unforgettable!

The course remains impressive and is always a great pleasure to play. However with the imminent overseeding, the greens were as good as they should be. Another points concerns the flooding reserve in impressive concrete between the 14th and the 15th fairways, which spoils the scenery of both impressive hole. Why not filling the reserve with bushes to hide the ugly concrete and bring back the original scenery of the holes.

disappointed that there were no working restrooms on bac k 9 which meant we had to curtail our round after 14 holes so overall very disappointed as we were not advised of the problem before the start of the round. The pace of play was very slow and when we drove in from the 14th to the clubhouse we realised why, a group a few in front of us had nobody in front of them and they held up the remaining groups in the field, did not see any marshalls on the course but not sure they care once they get the money.

We love this course. The layout is breathtaking - especially from the tips. Unfortunately, playing the course in the month of October is not ideal. Like every other course in the area, they were prepping for overseeding. As such, the greens were extremely slow and rough. Staff was wonderful.

This course now charges a cart fee of $13!

This was added on without me noticing until I checked in

Golf Now didn’t show the cost during booking

Another way the system is rigged

No such thing as deals on the site

Since it’s October, we knew the course would not be in great shape. The layout is good and views Are still magnificent. There was an event at the course so none of the practice facilities were open Or the restaurant.

Not sure I’d say that this was worth the fees we paid.

Starter must be a family member otherwise he wouldn’t get a job at any other course.

Total jerk , needs to take a course on social skills!!

Greens looked like they hadn’t been cut for a week, slowest I’ve ever played on.

Not worth $150 , should definitely have a reduced rate for the shape it’s in.
