Value not tere

Fairway condition is poor, bunkers poor, greens good but firm

One hole was closed. Power carts in poor shape (seats split) and one cart died on course.

We’ve played this course was in pristine condition and for less money. Feel like not gettin the value we should for what is supposed to be a premium course

Golfer

I have played this golf course since 1988. It was the best course I had ever played at the time. When I played this week, the fairways were a disaster. Most courses in the valley are in their best condition ever. So disappointing. Interestingly, the greens were in fine condition.

What happened to this course?

I've played this course several times over the last 12 years, but haven't played the last two. All of the previous years, the course was in excellent condition. Not so much this year. Patchy fairways, rough in very poor condition, and bunkers needing much work. One hole was completely shut down and we didn't know about it until we made our way to that hole. No information about it from anyone. The only thing that made the experience enjoyable was the couple we played with. Thanks Steven and Kristina. So sad to see a course go down hill like this. We won't return anytime soon.

We enjoyed our round. The green fees are a good value, the greens are great but the fairways and bunkers are not wonderful.

Avoid Windy Days

Front 9 was excellent....Great conditions. Back 9 not so lucky as the wind kicked up to 20 to 30 mph.

Cold plus wind equals misery....

The course in general is,a fantastic track. It's in fantastic shape so enjoy it on non windy days if you can.

Poor Shape

The course was very disappointing. I am a scratch golfer and play 4-5 times per week. The greens rolled okay but they were very slow, probably 9 on the stimp meter. The only reason I rated the course as a3 were the greens were average. From tee to green, you will get dirt, weeds, and clumps in the fairways and the tees. It appears they overseeded with weeds and very little grass seed. Not worth $130. Maybe a $40 course at best. Too many good places to play in the CV to waste your time on this place. It is too bad as the the layout is decent, a typical Pete Dye.

Not worth the money

It’s a relatively premium priced course but the fairways were very patchy, a lot of dead grass and it’s really hard to find the snack bar at the turn. It feels like a municipal course that’s just ok. There are some nice parts to look at but it’s not as nice to play.

Disappointed at Westin Rancho Mirage

Very disappointed with condition of the course. No overfeeding except fairways and that is spotty. Greens are OK but rest of course is bad. Hole #5 closed! Redoing bunkers so they set up #4 as two par 3's, slowed play and all players confused. I won't go back.

Ok conditions

The fairways and rough areas of the course were disappointing. Lots of dead grass, dirt areas and weeds. The greens were in good to great shape, but overall the conditions were not at all what I expected. When I arrived I was told that hole 5 was under construction, so hole four (usually a par 5) had been split into two par 3's, with the first pin just being planted into the middle of the fairway (and the fairways were in poor condition, so there was no putting to that pin). I am spoiled since I play at a private club with pristine conditions, but I drive by other public courses frequently, and those look to be in far, far better shape than this course.

Disappointing

The 5th hole was completely closed! No warning prior to arriving at the golf course. No compensation. The fairways were rough. Many dead spots requiring me to mive the ball to a patch of grass. The greens were good.

Very poor condition!

The course has gone downhill dramatically in the last few years, NOT worth even the $90 we paid. Will NOT go back here again!

Not up to par

Fairways were spotty maybe due to early Feb date but have played in years past when fairways were in good shape. One hole closed so had the next hole made into Two par three’s so had to guess at yardage. They are doing a major overhaul of traps leaving much to be desired if you hit into one not completed, shallow, grass filled and hard to get into and out of. It’s a nice track when it’s in shape.

Not up to par

Course should inform that hole 6 is under repair and it plays 2 par 3 on hole 5, time of tee time reservation so players have a choice to play or not. We found out right before we teed off. They had same issue last month with hole 1 and hole 2. It makes me they chested me out.

Missing hole

Ownership came up with an idea "lets wait until things get busy to start working on the bunkers". Every time I play this course One hole or another is closed for renovations while some par 4 is made into 2 par 3's with a bad temp green in the fairway. This is a 17 hole course that charges top $$$.

Hole under repair?

All courses in the coachella valley do renovations during the summer when very few golfers are playing. This course has decided to start renovations on the bunkers at the peak of golf season. With one hole always closed and some other par 4 converted into 2 par 3's with a bad temporary green in the middle of the fairway. After paying top dollar to book your round you are not told of this until the starter sends you to the 1st hole. This is a 17 hole course.
