The course was fun, great condition, and forgiving. Other than the 2 old goats at #1 tee box telling me I didn't pay to have my own cart, it was a blast to play this course. Customer is always right! No one else gave me trouble, just the old goats at the start. Shame on them! Check in golf shop 10 out of 10! Bag guys helping with golf cart and bags 10 out of 10! Old goats at tee box #1 minus -10 out of 10!

I recently jumped on a hot buy deal at PGA West - Nicklaus Tournament Course for $82 per player, and it turned out to be an incredible value.

We were able to get 12 holes in before dark, and even in that short time, the course absolutely delivered. The layout is classic Nicklaus — strategic, challenging, and visually stunning. The fairways were in great shape, the greens rolled true, and the desert scenery made every hole feel like a signature moment. You definitely need to think your way around the course, but it’s fair and rewarding when you hit good shots.

What really stood out, though, was the staff. From check-in to the course attendants, everyone was amazing, marshal Bob was friendly, welcoming, and very generous with his time and hospitality. Everyone made us feel appreciated and genuinely cared about our experience, which goes a long way.

Even though we didn’t get the full 18 in before sunset, the experience was 100% worth it. At $82, this felt like a steal for a course of this caliber. I’ll absolutely be back to finish the remaining holes — and I’m already looking forward to it.

Course was in great condition fairways were bright and green. Traps were full of fluffy sand and the greens were running smooth and fast.

There is no rough, it is just fairways to desert. It changes the strategy a bit, it’s more target golf. There is little penalty though to go in the desert and you can hit the ball easily to get back on the fairway or to the green. Fun, busy, but everyone moved along.

Nice track!

We had 2 foursomes playing and couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time. The weather was fantastic and the staff friendliness made the whole experience wonderful! Can’t wait to get back there and play it again!

Course was in great shape. Beautiful views, fast greens and a 5 time felon!

We play this course as often as possible and it is by far our FAVORITE course in the desert.

Today I must emphasize the miraculous work done by the greens keeping crew to maintain this immaculate course that we play on. We rent a home that is on No. 5 . This past week during 3 days of wind and some rain and blowing debris , we watched and witnessed such devotion, such painstakingly great care of the course day and night. In the dark with headlights etc, The devotion to course maintanence was a sight to be seen. I tip my hat to this entire team.

This course and all staff associated with it are highly appreciated and respected.

Our sincere appreciation.

Everything was excellent with one exception. I don’t understand why the restaurant and bar is closed so early. A beer after a good round would have been very welcome.

Great fun course. Amazing scenery with playing by the side of mountains on many holes.
