Overall enjoyable day

Booked just hours before the time. Met two other singles. We had a great time. Finished all 18 just before dark. Course is great, tough, but fair. Will come back.

Dreamy

First time playing a PGA course, and probably my favorite round of golf. Would play there every week if I could. Friendliest starter I can remember meeting, course is kept in excellent conditions, the mountain scenery is to die for, other golfers were super nice. The Marshall was super nice, but super on it as far as keeping pace of play going. Next time, I’ll probably splurge next time to get all 18 holes in. 4 and half hours seems to be what you need.

Course in great condition

Got a great deal for this course and turned out that every detail of this course was outstanding. Green speed is fast but smooth, just over seeded the course is in great condition.

Wife wasn't allowed to fish balls from ponds

Annoying unfriendly Marshalls.

Wife was told she wasn't allowed to fish balls from ponds while our foursome was playing,

Never, in my 35 years of playing golf, have I ever heard of this.

.. and no. The pace of play wasn't impeded.

High expectations Low experience

Sad but true. Played on a Saturday not that busy… cart path only… not sure why. Our twosome was paired with a nice but elderly gentleman member… slow slow slow. We felt the need to make up for his pace. We were sandwiched between a 4some and a 2some (members) who were on us constantly. The greens were burnt and inconsistent. We finished at 3:50pm… thinking let’s have a drink. NOPE they closed the bar early… wasn’t supposed to close until 5:00. No drink… it was a waste of time and money. This was the start of our vacation poor start for sure.

Hi there! Thank you for the feed back. This is the Operations Manager at PGA West, Norman Course. Sorry to hear your experience wasn't 5-star.

Just for clarification, we were "cart path only" because we were still fresh out of our seasonal overseed. We overseed later than most courses in the Coachella Valley so it might have been confusing as to why were on paths. Also, our greens may have looked aesthetically less green than the rest of the course but they are not "burned out". We do not overseed the greens for the winter because they are a type of grass (TifEagle) that can survive the winter without it. The off set is that they aren't as "bright" green as the rest of the course. They are currently rolling 11 on the Stimp meter and we are hosting an NCAA Div 1 tournament here in a few weeks.

As for the bar/restaurant closure, I do not have a good reason as to why you experienced the early closure. I will discuss with our F&B team as what happened that day and seek to do better. You certainly should have been able to get a drink between 3-5pm.

Please feel free to reach out to the Operations Manager in our Golf Shop at 760-564-3900. I would love an opportunity to hear about your experience in more detail and hopefully recapture the trust you put in with us by choosing to start your vacation here at the Norman Course at PGA West. We strive to deliver a 5-star experience to all our guests.

Thank you!

A boring course but in great condition. Pace was a bit slow.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Frustrating

This is a typical Pete Dye course where no good shot goes unpunished. The greens are all elevated and surrounded with mounds and bunkers, rewarding luck over shotmaking.

The staff in the Golfshop were condescending. No cheerful welcome on our check-in. Furthermore, after paying my green fee, and checking on my clubs, I returned to buy a pokerchip ball mark. My request to pay for the pokerchip was met with a scowl and groan.

Clubhouse bar / restaurant was closed at 5:00 pm.

Always fun and interesting.

The Dunes Course is always a challenge, but a fun one. The course is well maintained with gray fairways and greens.

Only problem was the slow groups in front, and a lack of marshaling to allow the rest of us to play at a reasonable pace.

Cart path only - bummer

Invited another couple to join us on their anniversary and were surprised that it was cart path only !

Our friends were disappointed after we have over sold the Greg Norman course

Just check with the pro shop before you get to the course
