Resort style

Good resort course, not too hard to play. Thought it would be harder being a Pete Dye course. Fairways were nice, greens were fairly fast but could have been in better condition. Would play again.

Better Options Available

Excited to play the Pete Dye course at Mission Hills unfortunately left disappointed. Furst the good the layout was good but everything after was a big let down. Customer service was below par except Levi the starter who at least smiled. Additionally the beverage cart has no food so was instructed to place order at 9 tee. Tried calling for food 3x but no answer. At the turn went in to try & get an ore-made sandwich but there is none and we are too busy to make or answer your call. The course conditions were ok in fairways but tees on the par 3’s were set on slopes and the putting greens all had issues & all top dressed to try & help areas.that needed TLC. The overall experience was lacking and a lot of other courses in the area that have better service & better greens.

A beautiful resort course

The course is in beautiful condition overall. The fairways are wide and forgiving. The greens are excellent. Unfortunately the sand traps are poor with more gravel than sand. Almost impossible to play.

Challenge but very playable

Fun course with some challenging holes but nice wide fairways and tee selection that makes it playable for all levels. Greens were a little rough with the lack of players repairing their pitch marks. Will definitely play again…..

Poor Customer Service

Each golfer gets a bottle of water at the start. However there is nowhere to refill on the course. At the turn I went to the grill window and was waived in through the members only doors where I immediately was treated like a second class citizen as the members were getting preferential treatment. All I wanted was to refill the disposable plastic water bottles they gave my wife and I. The lady opened two of the exact same bottles as I handed her, poured them in a pitcher before emptying that pitcher of in my used bottles. She could have just handed me 2 bottles to replace the empty ones I gave her. I had no words…. She gave me the feeling I was inconveniencing her for this request. I take bad reviews seriously and hope this is just an opportunity to help create a better experience for future golfers.

Westin Rancho Mirage - Pete Dye Course

Golf courses in general in the Palm Springs area and surrounding cities are well maintained and are well worth the price paid for a tee time. This course designed by Pete Dye was challenging for a beginner like me. There were fairway and greenside bunkers throughout the course in addition to water features to really challenge all levels of golfers. The round took 4: 45 minutes which is not too bad at all. The course was truly enjoyable.

Some things they can do to improve is to have signage at each tee box stating the tee distances and hole number. We got lost in the very beginning of our round. Also, a beverage and food cart host would have been appreciated for the price paid for the round.

Greens were not in the best shape. Slow and patchy. Rest of course is in good shape. I paid $58.00 for a 12:32 tee time so I can’t complain too much.

Disappointed with Greens

I’ve played this course many times. Nice layout with interesting holes.

Greens today were poor. Very disappointing and not worth $150.

Staff could be friendlier.
