Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa - Pete Dye Resort Course

The course is much improved from 2022. It’s not back up to the level of the 2010’s but you can tell this management is trying to bring it back. It’s always been a nice layout.

Greens and sand were in great shape.

Noticed multiple areas under repair (mostly making sand traps smaller or non existent, thank you!)

Areas between golf course and homes looked to need some help. Staff great.

First impression was the grumpy guy in pro shop. The other staff seemed friendly and helpful. Course was in less than good shape. Greens were nice and quick enough. New carts with no GPS. I thought the golf course needed some TLC in many areas. Other cart in the group died and we had to push it for the last hole. Don't send them out inadequately charged.

18th hole was closed.

Course did not mention when making reservation.

Greens very slow.

Fairways not mowed short.

Course was sending 1player out not making 3 some or foursome.

Felt like we were rushed because of not teaming people up players.

The staff member who shuttled us to the Pro shop was both rude and dismissive. Was it because I’m a woman? Staff shortages caused us to be late as our group had to wait for the starter to give us cart keys. Course is in okay condition as recent floods have caused several GUR spots and the 18th hole to be closed while repairs are being done. But the biggest issue was when 2 foursomes finished their round and then jumped back in on the 15th hole to play as an eightsome! When we called the Pro shop and reported this we were basically dismissed. We took some photos to verify this but by the time we were done, due to the slow play, the shop was closed.

Rather dry course conditions. Could not play 18th hole as closed.

Course is in very good shape, great layout and challenging.

I’ve played the Dye course dozens of time over the last few decades. Usually very nice. This time the conditions were poor and the overall appearance was very rundown

I have played this course a couple times before and it was in good shape. Right now, the range was terrible. Literally no grass to put the ball on. The tee boxes were left long. They were the length of the rough. There were sprayer tracks on all of them so I suspect they were spraying them for some reason and didn’t want to cut them. Imagine putting your tee in the rough and hitting your driver from there. The greens were ok. Very fast, so that was good. They have sodded in a huge amount of the fairway traps, so it looked terrible and you couldn’t play on them. On the good side, it was supposed to be $124 per person but when we got there, they only charged us $89. Makes sense because it wasn’t worth more than that.

I have played other Pete Dye courses in the area and I just didn’t think this lived up to his name. There were bunkers that had tractor ruts but no ground under repair markings. Course looked tired not much upkeep

This course is always a challenge and a treat to play. The green fee was discounted because 18 was closed for bunker renos which I thought was fair. Tee boxes were a little shaggy but minor issue. Always enjoy playing at Mission Hills.

The course was bit dry and burned out in spots.

We didn’t know until we arrived that the 18th hole was closed for renovation. This meant the 17th hole was used to play two par 3s (one with a pin in the middle of the fairway).

A bit disappointing for the green fee charged.

Nice challenging course but fairways mediocre, 18th hole was not available to play but no one mentioned that until we signed in. The only really enjoyable parts were the beer cart lady and the bag transport lady (Christina).

Course was under renovation

Was not indicated at time of booking

Areas in the rough are in terrible shape lots of baren ground

Greens and fairways were perfect
