Good Course

Course in good shape. Our GPS didn’t work on the cart.

No Marshall during the whole round to speed up play which was unfortunate.

Not as Good as Expected

This course has an odd set up with the back nine divided into two different sections. Condition of the course for a Westin property was not great. Bunkers were not properly raked. Fairways not well repaired. Some interesting holes. Need to be driven from the parking lot to the clubhouse. Nice wide fairways.

Mixed bag

Some holes were in great shape and others were not as they were being changed/repaired (sod pieces laid down recently). At clubhouse, not allowed to sit and order food, required to buy boxed lunch and sit outside restaurant to eat it. Very strange way to treat guests.

Great Promise

We were looking forward to our final round in Palm Desert for this year and thought a Pete Dye design would be great. We were playing with my sister and brother in law.

There is a shuttle from the parking lot to the pro shop area. The shuttle driver was a delightful lady and we were looking forward to the tee time.

We had a 1:00 pm tee time and should be able to finish well before sunset at 5:30.

The carts provided are past their best before day. The gals had one cart and the guys the other one. The guys cart (mine) broke down on the 14th hole tee box at 4:25, I immediately called the pro shop to alert them only to find out after a lengthy message that they close at 4:00. I tried calling the director of golf, the shuttle service, hotel concierge and leave messages with my telephone number. The only person I was able to reach was hotel reservations and was told to walk in.

Finnaly was able to coax the cart to move at walking speed. When I called the course the next day as no one ever called to apologize I was offered after much discussion 2 rounds for the 4 of us as compensation.

If anything should happen to you after 4:00 on the course, I guess calling 911 is your best option.

Course condition

It was disappointing that the 9 hole was under repair. Also I had higher expectations for the course conditions.

Over all a good round.

Good Day

Course shape is okay, one hole is out due to bunker repair, so you only get 17 holes.

Seen Better Days

The course is showing age and could use more care, it was once terrific. Though efforts are ongoing for improvements, as having 5th hole closed for bunker upgrades, general conditions are average. We did get a reduced green fee, since the 5th was not playable. My recommendation is price dependent.

Westin Rancho Mirage Pete Dye course

I have played this course 4 or 5 times in past few years It had always been in top condition, but this year, I and group I played with very disappointed in course condition. Also, driving range was closed for an upcoming event. The staff was very courteous and the price I paid to play made disappointment in condition less bothersome

Nice layout but…

We always enjoy the layout in the fabulous staff at this facility. However, the condition of the course is tragic. Doesn’t matter what they charge you. It’s not worth it. Won’t be back for a real long time.

The course was not in very good shape. The driving range was not open. Hole # 16 was not open. Several of the fairway bunkers seemed to be in the middle of repair.
