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

My double and I were a couple minutes behind.

The moment we arrived, we were greeted with a smile & group accommodations to still enjoy although it was our fault we were late. The spacings of groups and pace of play was amazing. A big shout out to the starter & golf shop staff. At the end of the day, we had access to cart drivers to shuttle us and our clubs back to the car.

Honestly, a wonderful course to play. Would come again.

The course was in great shape. My only peeve is they had the 9th hold closed, they said they were working on the traps. I’m glad they’ve doing maintenance but when we got to the 9th, there wasn’t any equipment or workers on it. I believe we could have played it. Hmmm…

…and now that the Pandemic is over, put the ball washers back.

Thanks

Course did let us know of # 9 being closed. 17 they stupidly made into 2 par 3

Condition was questionable at places, bunkers not good - inconsistent! Fairways sparse in places

Pace play good- but could have been better, no ranger 4.5 hours

Saw drink cart once in 18 holes

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.

Great course, great amenities, great staff. We will definitely be back.

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.

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.

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.

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

Over all a good round.
