Great layout but really poor condition.

A very disappointing round of golf. After viewing the beautiful photos of the course on the La Quinta website, it was clear by the time we got to the first green that the course was in disrepair. Unfortunately one of the worst courses I have played in the Palm Springs area. Every hole had major ground under repair areas and some greens were extremely patchy and unplayable. See photo of the fairway lie below.

Bad Greens

This course is very difficult for the average golfer for the first time. The greens are very hard and your ball will run off it when you get a great shot.

Also the green on most holes are in bad shape.

They told me they may shout down for July to fix the problem.. After they fix it it will be a great place to play.. super nice people there.

Slow and sad

While we love the course layout, the course allowed a single on the course ahead of the twosome in front of us. Hard to truly enjoy a 5 hour round in the heat or any other time. Disappointing!

Beautiful Back 9

Front nine is wide open and right now (early June) the greens are not in the best condition. However the back 9 is much nicer, especially 13-17 and you do not want to miss the vista from the 16th tee box.

Just a shame

Until this visit, the Mountain Course was my favorite course in Southern California. Unfortunately, I may have to stop naming it altogether.

Greens are horrific. Fairways lined with GUR and burned out areas. Inconsistent tee boxes that are not level. Sand was consistent, but green side bunkers should be a bit softer.

Conditions blamed on a heat spell that scorched the greens… but somehow Desert Willow the day before had almost ideal conditions all over the course. Pathetic.

Save your money, wait a while, and see if it improves. I really hope it does because this is an awesome track that deserves better.

Disappointment

We played the course on a reciprocal from our club, what a disappointment. The course was poorly maintained, numerous brown and dead spots on fairways. The greens were terrible., many had very little grass. Had I paid full rack rate for the round, I would have been upset.

Let down

I have played this track many years ago and love the design. The problem is they are not maintaining the course as it should be. Too many burned out spots, greens are atrocious for this level of a course with bare spots on the greens. Not only that but I paid premium prices in spite of it being 107°, that day. With a little work this could be a world-class track again. Pete Dye would be rolling over in his grave right now
