PGA WEST Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course

Great course in great Condition in a magnificent setting. Tough as boots though.

Greens rock hard

Greens sandy

Lots of brown grass

Grass in bunkers

Some bunkers rock hard

Really not acceptable for a premier course. Local muni conditions at a premium price.

Desert willows in much better condition.

So Jack Tournament course has been Closed for some time. I’m not sure why the greens are so firm. It was very difficult to get the ball to check up if at all. Was supposed to open Sep. 1st and was late to open Jack I was expecting very nice greens, but it’s ok they were still fun the course is great in any condition. Really love the course the price is right if you can take a little heat. Staff is always the best thanks to all of them!

Rode the Blues (6522/72.2/134) in slightly over 4H twilight on a GN Hot Deal. Played with Temeculalowshooter, thanks for the round Daniel! First day since May the high was under 100 out here, 95, low humidity and a slight breeze felt downright comfortable. Air quality improved from a few days ago, no problem today. Decent late summer conditions, a little scruffy around the edges. But a huge step down from prime over seeded pristine playing conditions.

Bermuda tees had decent coverage and were okay to play from.

Bermuda fairways were semi lush but all had some bare areas.

Bermuda primary rough was mowed low but still thick with good coverage.

Plentiful sand traps had decent sand but were not very well maintained. No way all those foot prints were from just today.

Bermuda greens putted medium speed with few ball marks. Very firm and consistent from green to green.

Very good customer service from everyone. Plenty of water stations on the course. Good GPS on the carts. The cart gal was out making the rounds numerous times. Nice all grass range that was busy today.

Nicklaus Tournament features mounds along the sides of fairways, large/deep bunkers, several split fairways and some expansive sand waste bunkers. Raised greens where irons barely off line or short can be in collection areas where the green is well above the golfer.

Recommended.

Didn’t get to play due corona virus course closure.

I was surprised when I checked in to hear hole 14 was closed due to water issues but the course reduced the greens fees accordingly which absolutely softened the blow. As always the greens were perfect and fairways well manicured. Were it not for the hole closure this is a five star course.

We arrived at the course around 10:45, checked in with the pro shop and then went to grab breakfast/brunch at Ernie’s. We were disappointed to find out that we could only order from the lunch menu. The food and service was very good though. One of players had to rent clubs and had a very uncomfortable experience one of the workers. He brought out a set of women’s right handed clubs instead of the men’s left handed that had been ordered and paid for. Reluctantly the worker agreed to bring out the men’s left handed clubs.

One of the carts we used had bad brakes and the starter quickly changed out our cart for one that worked much better. Our only complaint about the course was the lack of sand in some of the bunkers. Sometimes it felt like you were hitting off concrete. Otherwise the course was in great shape and the pace of play was 4 hours.

Beautiful layout in nice condition. Challenging but fair. Look forward to playing again soon.

My recommendation is that you play golf at any of the PGA West horses in the morning. We played nine holes and then it slowed down and wait on every shot and there’s no reason for that there’s people hitting balls in the water and they’re taking forever to get them out and nobody’s really policing it.

iT is resort course. The stadium course is more difficult as far as the par three’s and more challenging.

Great course layout, they need to put more sand in the bunkers. Very hard

Nice challenging but fair. Greens rolled true. Course was in excellent condition.
