Course is a gem. Was in great shape and a really fun time. It was a really challenging course especially in the 104 degree weather. Definitely recommend getting a round in if you have a chance

Just sanded the greens otherwise would have been 5 stars pace of play was great. Finish the round under 3 hrs.

The course was enjoyable and the staff was great. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star rating was the condition of the greens. Simply shaggy and slow (said 9.5 stint, but closer to 8).

I’m sure that was a result of the time of year. I’d definitely come back but only when the greens are right.

The greens were not as fast as they have been in the past, but impeccably smooth and true, as always. Fairways, tee boxes, scenery, and everything else about the Tournament course is absolutely first rate.

Beautiful.

Green were very hard and dry, and also top dressed. Still fun to play.

Very good courses. But green is too difficult, soo hard to read the line when you are the first time play in here.

We hadn't played here in years and thought we'd try it on a Hot Deal tee time. The Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the course was in good shape. The first 2 holes had much longer rough than the other holes so maybe they hadn't finished mowing yet. Nevertheless, we had a great deal of trouble finding our balls in the rough on those two holes, so it didn't start the day well. The course has elevated greens and tee boxes, and all the holes played long as there is little to no run out. Greens putted true and were nice. Glad we played here again, but the course just played too long for us. Unless you are a very long hitter and don't need run-out, think about moving up a tee box.

This course was very challenging. The ball never really landed flat. I had an amazing time playing the game was at a perfect pace of speed. definitely good for bragging rights.

I paid $91 to play the Pete Dye Mountain Course at PGA West, and for the price, it was reasonable. The setting is stunning, with beautiful views throughout the round.

That said, the course layout felt awkward in places, with several holes and tee boxes crowded together unnecessarily on the front nine. Conditioning was only average—the rough had been freshly mowed, leaving unsightly clumps of grass scattered across the course. For a facility of this caliber, that was disappointing. The greens were fine but rolled slow, which I assume is intentional given the extreme undulations Pete Dye is known for.

The biggest issue, however, was pace of play. Tee times were poorly managed, and with a tournament ahead of us, the course backed up to over five hours. That’s simply unacceptable for any course, much less one of this reputation.

I’d consider playing it again, but only midweek when the course is likely to be less congested.

One of the best values in the desert! Always a pleasure to play this challenging Tournament course.

This is a great course all around. I highly recommend it. The bad review associated with my profile was meant for PGA West Mountain course but Golf Now's policies do not allow me to delete or amend a review. If you are reading this I highly recommend the Nicklaus, Player, & Stadium courses over the Mountain & Dunes courses that PGA West has to offer.

This is already an incredibly difficult course made almost impossible to play by the rough. Very thick rough that consumes the ball. I lost 3 balls on the front nine that landed no more than 5 yards off the fairway. Impossible to find without a spotter. I recommend calling the course before booking to see if the rough has been trimmed to a level where you don't need a spotter to find the ball. The bunkers and greens were OK, but for this price point I expected better. For the average golfer wanting a PGA West experience, I would recommend that you play the Gary Player or Jack Nicklaus courses.

Great shape and fun to play. The rough and off fairway are challenging. Watch your ball because they can be lost easily in front of your eyes. Had a great day. Golf shop has everything and the drinks at the bar are great. Take some time to look around because there is a lot of history to take in. Staff was first class. Will go again

The greens were terrible. For the money I paid it was not worth it with the greens in this bad of shape. They were all full of sand and so slow. I was not told about them before the round. One of the greens they were watering in the middle of us playing it which made it worse with the sand already on the green.
