Disappointed

Scenery beautiful but course conditions were just ok for a $240 play. Bunkers were horrendous, had not been groomed. Fairway grass not lush.

Better values elsewhere.

Great course with great views

This was my third time at the Dye course at PGA west and the course is in great shape given all the play it receives. I love the layout and the raised greens for challenges. My only complaint is that we waited on every tee for several minutes. Still finished in 4 1/2 hours but could have played much faster. Overall great experience and worth playing

Course is ridiculously well maintained. We played an early tee time (7a) and pace was great, course was perfect. Our group kept saying how this was worth every penny. Some challenging holes, some gorgeous holes (16 is amazing). Couldn’t recommend highly enough

Restaurant closes too early

Loved the course. Would recommend to anyone. Fair layout with fantastic views!!

The restaurant closed at 5:00. With a late tee time there was no way to enjoy a nice dinner after the round. We were very disappointed to have to go in town to eat.

Disappointed

I've played many Pete Dye courses around the world and this was typical in terms of elevated greens, generous fairways and multiple tee boxes. Disappointed in the pace of play with really impacted the value perception. The front nine was nothing special and the back nine had some of the spectacular views in the photo galleries online.

Spectacular layout and course conditions.

Biggest problem was that I expected the course to be located at PGA west, but it is actually at the La Quinta resort.

Took 20 minutes to find it, and it poorly signed!

Course is splendid and in superb shape.

Would have loved a course map!

A little pricey.

In all very enjoyable.
