Nice Pace
Expectedly some rough patches for this time of year. But pace was great and great value. Tee’d off at 2pm finished at 4:05

Disappointing Conditions
Tee boxes: depending on the tee box the majority had very limited grass or none at all.
Fairways" Large dead patches throughout the course - especially around the greens.
Greens - had been sanded (as we were playing!) and had been aerated recently.
There was no aerification notice on the web site.
No water coolers on the course.
We play at PGA West every year and this was a huge disappointment. There are many courses in the area which are in superior condition.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Great Course
A beautiful course set up and good conditions. A review of the hole handicapping could be assessed as the #1 hole was a very short par 4. Another thing to note was all the blue tee box markers were not placed on the tee boxes. When we mentioned it to the Marshall he suggested we play the front tees? They should have had someone place the markers after we mentioned it.

Hi, firefite2. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing PGA West Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course.
Sadly, Better Options in the Valley
We come out to PGA west every summer for a weekend trip. We usually play the tournament courses and also a non pga west course when we are out there. The service we receive at non pga west courses are far superior and has made us likely to play only non pga west courses on next years trip.
It is 105 degrees outside and there is absolutely no water on the course for the players to drink. That is ABSURD. We played Mission Hills and there was coolers every 3rd hole. It’s literally dangerous to the guests to not provide a cold water option. The 2 water bottles provided lasted 3 holes. Every other course in the Coachella valley would have water in the summer for their guests. I asked the starter and an ambassador if they had any water, both looked around and was able to find a single bottle to provide us. Then the one time we saw the cart girl (because she told us that she was going home for the day when we were hitting our approach shots on the FIRST HOLE) wanted to sell us the same water for 3 dollars each. It made the experience of the course so bad to just be dying for a sip of cold water the entire day and truly hurt the mood of the entire group.
Also, we had 2 groups back to back of 4 people, so 8 total golfers. The night before we drove up one person in our group said he tested positive for Covid and obviously did not come on the trip. It was under 48 hours when we learned of this. When telling the person who checked us in, he told us it was likely we would get charged a fee because of the missing person. When we explained the situation he told me that PGA west no longer recognizes Covid as a reason to cancel a tee time because “too many people were doing it”. Well… it’s a PANDEMIC so that would make sense. So it appears that PGA west would prefer you to come to their facility and play golf with an active Covid infection rather than stay home and away from people and have the tee time be missed. There was no waitlist and wide open tee times, no reason for the threat of being charged for a person who is sick not showing up.
We love PGA west and enjoy this trip every year but it is clear that the hospitality, accommodations, and overall logic of the facility has gone down hill immensely, and with so many other options for golf in the valley it is hard to find a reason why PGA west should be where we go now.

Awful Maintenance Interference
When you have the first tee time, you expect you may run into maintenance but they should yield and let you through. Not on this course. The entire round all you saw was maintenance workers, heard the sound of lawn mowers and blowers. They walked across the greens on approach shots. It absolutely ruined the round. They nearly ran us over with the mowers on a few holes. Simply couldn’t enjoy the course, and not for over $100. I will not be back. PGA West is simply ruined. Stay away. So many other better courses in the area.

Great conditions and pace of play
Played on 5/30. memorial Day Monday. We were a three-some and played 40 minutes faster than the cart recommended. We were behind a foursome but did not see them until we were on the 15th Tee. The Greens were a little slower than other nearby courses but overall the course is in very good shape. Price was more reasonable than we've seen in recent months.

jerryroyster1, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing PGA West Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course.
sand sand sand???
Jack’s course is too punishing if you don’t land it softly on the green especially the 17th hole with narrow island green (only one angle of attack for well placed 3rd shot). Other greens are all extremely elevated and surrounded by either deep bunkers (with no sand just like cement) or severely sloped drop offs. For a golf course of this caliber you’d think they can afford some fluffy sand in the green side bunkers. Gets kinda boring playing most of the pga west courses over and over again. Played Classic Club first time on same day just before Jack’s and LOVED it!
