PGA West Norman

Great track layout and greens are true, nice roll. Truly enjoyed game. Pace was good. Under by 12 mins.

2 big disappointments, however:

i) Range closed with no notice to us. We arrived 1.5 hr early to warmup. Course was closing next day for a month. Why close range.... in advance.?

ii) partly due to i) we ordered a drink from Clubhouse. USD 16 for a ceaser and 10 for bud light draft. ! Bit of a gouge.

Enjoyable experience!

We had a wonderful experience from our arrival through to leaving the course. Great staff, lovely facilities, beautiful vistas and a very playable course, challenging at times but great fun.

Still in pretty good condition

The course is going into overseed very soon, but it's still in pretty good shape. Average condition at PGA West is still great. Really love the layout. Pace of play was OK even though the course was busy.

No real memorable holes. Pace of play a little slow. Marshal seemed to ignore slower groups ahead of us. Course conditions just average.

A pleasant day

We had an enjoyable round with friends. Course conditions were fine except for the bunkers. They sorely need attention.
The red forward tees were quite long in some cases - 509 par 5! - but jumior tees too short.

Nice course but slow twilight play

Given that the temp was 103 when we started at 3:45 pm getting 9 holes in was probably as much as we could expect, but was hoping to for more.

Slow!!! 5 hour round

Me and my buddy got paired with two nice guys. Unfortunately they were the last two of three groups playing a Scramble and the groups in front were very slow. The course assistant came by with about 5 holes to go and didn't say a word to any of the groups to speed up play. We paid 199 USD to play in five hours with the last hole in almost complete darkness. For a PGA course the standard was very low.

Also they had a wedding setting-up so were not serving food through the kitchen. Instead they had a young guy at a BBQ that served us raw burgers. Didn't eat them.. really a bad experience and not something you would expect for that amount of money from a course with that name.

The course was in decent shape but green were very slow. Play at your own risk and only if you have the time.

PGA West never disappoints!!

By far the best track we have played in Palm Desert. Excellent conditions, tricky / fast greens and terrific layout. Most fairways are saddled such that anything to the left or right side typically fall towards the fairway. We took a hot deal ($122), but had to play at 12:45 (really hot)…definitely worth it!

Fun course

Course in excellent condition, challenging due to the number of water hazards and fairways/ greens that drain towards the water. Fun course.
