Unless you are a plus handicap or enjoy being tortured, stay away from this course. The greens hold a shot like a parking lot, and balls roll to locations around the greens that make the course virtually unplayable. Many fun courses to play in the Palm Springs area, this isn’t one of them. Our group agrees that we will never go back there.

5+ hour round with the Ranger just watching. Bunkers had no sand with rocks destroying our wedges.

This course never lets you off the hook. It tests your patience and mettle. There're no flat greens to speak off. Don't think you're safe once the ball lands on the green. Depending where and how you land, it just might trail off and fall into a grass pit. It's a thinking man's course. I'm glad I played it, yet I regret having played it so poorly.

If you’re looking for a round on a high quality course at a good price, try Nicklaus after 2:30. We knew we’d only get 14 or so in, but the discounts in the afternoon make this one worth it.

It is really good course, but management is poor and the play was delayed.

The course needs a re-do. The bunkers had zero sand and the rocky base destroyed my wedge. The pace of play was so slow our 5+ hour round resulted in playing 18 in the dark. My Exp were considerably higher. I will not return and I live here 5 months a year.

We played both the PGA West Dunes and Mountain courses back to back in late Feb 2025.

The experience was the two worst rounds ever. The Dunes took 4:45 hours and Mountain 5:30 hours. We did not see a marshal on either day. It became obvious that PGA West in more interested in crowding the courses with tee time every 9 minutes and complete disregard for pace of play while charging $349.00 per round. The staff in the golf shop on the first day seemed to care less and on the second day they were not there as the shop had closed before the end of our round. There are several terrific course in Palm Springs and you would be well served to play all but the PGA Dunes and Mountain courses.

I played with a PGA West member. I commented that the course seemed easier than a previous visit. He said work had been done to make it more user friendly, especially from forward tees. I really enjoyed my day here

5h20 to complete 18 holes. Tons of groups spending time as if they’re playing on the PGA only to shank a shot or 3 putt. Marshall was useless and told us to take more time to make space (yeah great idea. Punish everyone behind us even more!) and refused to admonish the slow group of amateurs using Aim Point at every hole… I guess he did not hear of etiquette and the basic rules of golf. Not only that, some genius accountant brilliantly decided to book a corporate competition of 12-14 foursomes who thought they were in the Ryder Cup without telling regular visitors. Nice touch for a $600-700 green fee. Horrendous.
