End of summer round

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

Time of year!

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.

One of the most beautiful courses you will ever play

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.

Tougher Than We Remember

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.

Bad review posted by mistake

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.

Not average golfer friendly

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.
