Tough day to review

We played the Mountain course on a day with constant 15-20 mph winds, with gusts up to 40 mph or higher--and not constant from same direction. Pro shop let us know we could cancel our round without penalty--but if we paid there were no refunds if we didn't like the conditions--nice advisory communication to golfers.

As a result the pace of play was very good, slowed a bit at end of front 9, but the group let us tee off in front of them on 10.

Have played the course many times, very challenging, especially the final four holes,. but fair. Accuracy a huge plus, more so than many resort course.

PGA West Pete Dye Mountain Course

First time to play here. What a great place to play. Staff was extremely inviting and friendly. Overall condition of the course was impeccable. Back nine was definitely more picturesque. Pace of play was excellent. Our group finished in under four hours. With a 6:45 AM tee time. I don't know if there's anything negative I could say that would be outside of nitpicking. Food was overall pretty good.

A jewel in the desert

An incredible golf course to play. Nearly perfect tee boxes, fairways and greens. It's. Very challenging, and very beautiful. I would rank in the top 3 of all the course in the Palm Springs area. The staff is always great. The restaurant closes by 6 PM, so if you have an afternoon round, no cold drinks to celebrate such a great location :-(

Choking dust ruined our round

We checked the weather which was clear, warm and sunny and booked last minute. We had to rent clubs which was $100/set. Overall round cost $600+. Slow round but big problems after 9th hole, wind started howling and choking dust rolled in. Air quality deteriorated quickly and was deemed unsafe to be outside. We went to the proshop to ask for a rain check. Staff denied our request. Buyer beware!
