PGA WEST Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course

The course is in great shape for the American Express Tournament! Fairways are perfect and greens were running about 12 today. Definitely had fun today! Nice job by all.

We were excited to play this course as the PGA would play here in 3 weeks. We were the first ones out the day after an all day rain, and the course was in excellent condition. A challenging course with small greens. A good short game is needed, and poor drives are forgiven. The staff is world class, as is the pro shop and club house and restaurant. My son in law was not happy with his own driver, and they loaned him a new Taylormade at no cost. If I were to play there again, I would prefer to walk the course, it's that pleasurable.

The course provides a challenge on every shot. The course demands concentration on every shot. It is really fun to play and requires many different shots to be played.

PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course is a fantastic, fair course. Thoroughly enjoyable. Exactly what I expected. 5 Enthusiastic Stars!

Perhaps it was the 11 hole carry over I won with my kp at #9 following it up with a 6ft putt on a green with a stimp metre reading of pool table, I enjoyed this course more than the Stadium. This course offered up some challenging holes whilst not feeling the need to beak every club in your bag. If you’re a fan of desert golf and like to have your game put to the test make sure to add this course to your bucket list, you will glad you did.

The Nicholas Tournament Course is a great test of golf but but can still be a fun 18 for the higher handicap player. The course has multiple tee boxes so you can play the distance and slope that fits your game. the layout is a good combination of straight forward golf holes and challenging risk reward holes. The price can be a bit daunting but the chance to tee it up where the pros play is worth the expense. If you are heading to the desert, this is a must play.

Nicklaus Tournament Course never fails to disappoint me! This is my 4th time playing this course and it gets better every round! Even with the cart path only rule and slower greens, it is still my “must play” while visiting. It is one of the higher priced green fees for visitors but still worth it. Watch for deals!

Rode the Blues (6522/72.2/134) in slightly over 4H, 45M early morning using Forelinx. Played up with Jim, Mark and Tom, on a winter golf vacation from Ohio. CPO. Being matched up with nice guys and good golfers made the slow round POP much more bearable. The weather was sunny, breezy and around 95.

The over seeded tees were lush and very nice to play from.

The over seeded fairways were lush and excellent to play from.

The Bermuda primary rough is mostly dormant, mowed low but still thick. The rough closer to the fairway is over seeded and very lush.

The plentiful sand traps were as immaculately maintained as I have ever experienced anywhere. Even all the waste bunkers were freshly raked and seemed to have better sand than 75% of the courses I have played.

The over seeded greens putted medium speed & were firm and somewhat bumpy.

The layout features mounds along the side of fairways, large/deep bunkers, several split fairways and some expansive sand waste bunkers. Nicklaus Tournament is one of the toughest chipping courses I have ever played because of the firm raised greens that are surrounded by steep banks on 2 or more sides on almost every hole. It came out of over seeding in better shape than Stadium.

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

Walked 5 miles because of course reseeding. Make sure your in good shape to make it up and down hills

Mr. Nicklaus has really junked up this layout with huge morals and dangerous drop offs. For older golfers there are better options in the area.

Love to play where the pros play! This course is in perfect condition and the layout is challenging. Several holes where you must think your way through, others that are just downright fun.

Course was in good condition, I had great weather for end of May so the rye overseeding was still prevalent. Course layout was as expected, condition was good too. The staff was excellent, overall it was cool to play a PGA West course.

This is the 2nd of the two "public" courses at PGA West (Stadium is the other). Even though it's a Nicklaus course it kind of feels like a Pete Dye design. Some very challenging holes ( note: I played the back tees), with some scorable par 4s and 5s, greens aren't too undulating. Course was in great shape.

Made you feel welcome and appreciated!

Thank you
