Challenging and Bucolic

Played this one many times. Take advantage of the off season deals and the overplayed greens won't bother you as much. A few narrow holes will challenge you to keep your drives straight and choose between hitting a guest or going in the water. Have fun.

John B

I expected more from a course with the name Westin. Tee boxes a little shaggy, bad spots in the greens, fairways a little rough. I guess I equated the name Westin to quality and I did not feel that the course lived up to that image in my mind. I was expecting something like the JW Marriott courses and got a lot less.

Great resort course

The property is beautiful and well maintained. The golf course has a really good lay-out and was in great shape…fairways and greens were well maintained, the rough was green (not burned out like it’s former sister property the Mission Hills North Gary Player course). Finished with a foursome in 3.5 hours, so loved that.

Great track in poor shape

It's definitely on the mellow side of all the Pete Dye courses I've played. Unfortunately, it's the worst maintained Troon managed course I've played.

The fairways and greens are good, the rough and bunkers are awful. Standing water in a bunker, rough is dry, dead grass in too many spots. The Pete Dye signature railroad ties lining the lakes are disintegrating into many of the lakes.

This place needs an infusion to get it back into shape. As is, I would not return.

To cap it off, the starter was very rude when we didn't accept his offer to move up our tee time and forego lunch and warm-up. Overall bad experience at what could be a very fun course.

Challenging Resort Course

Hadn't played this one in years, but it's always a fun challenge with water, bunkers and enough undulation to give any level of golfer an interesting round.

A great resort golf course

We play this course almost every time that we visit the Palm Springs area. It is an affordable course that seems to always be in great shape. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Not an overly long or tricked-up course. It has wider fairways and large greens but there is a fair amount of water and bunkers to keep you on your toes.

This course is a jewel!

We were treated very nice by the staff right from bag pick-up by Dane to the pro shop. The course was in very good shape & we would definitely recommend the Pete Dye Mission Hills course to any golfers.
