PGA West Pete Dye Mountain Course

First time to play here. What a great place to play. Staff was extremely inviting and friendly. Overall condition of the course was impeccable. Back nine was definitely more picturesque. Pace of play was excellent. Our group finished in under four hours. With a 6:45 AM tee time. I don't know if there's anything negative I could say that would be outside of nitpicking. Food was overall pretty good.

A jewel in the desert

An incredible golf course to play. Nearly perfect tee boxes, fairways and greens. It's. Very challenging, and very beautiful. I would rank in the top 3 of all the course in the Palm Springs area. The staff is always great. The restaurant closes by 6 PM, so if you have an afternoon round, no cold drinks to celebrate such a great location :-(

Choking dust ruined our round

We checked the weather which was clear, warm and sunny and booked last minute. We had to rent clubs which was $100/set. Overall round cost $600+. Slow round but big problems after 9th hole, wind started howling and choking dust rolled in. Air quality deteriorated quickly and was deemed unsafe to be outside. We went to the proshop to ask for a rain check. Staff denied our request. Buyer beware!

Golf 1king

We like the course especially the back nine, although it plays way too slow. I was only in one bunker and the sand was very hard but not sure that is representative of all the Bunkers.

We got a decent rate thru golf now. Not sure we would pay full price which is close to 300 US.

Hard Greens

All the greens on course were quite hard - evidently because of redesign and construction in 2023. I was a bit disappointed in some of the layout - a few cases where green and adjacent tee-box were placed close together. BUT, what a beautiful setting and the course was in great condition other than hard greens.

Course was great for the value

Was told it was a must play. The course was great. Odd they didn’t have a 9 hole rate as one of the guysbin the trip had to catch an early flight. Very well maintained course. Staff was friendly. Only really negative was no real driving range. Just hit into a net 20 yards away. But great chipping & putting greens. Would definitely play again.

Another Pete Dye disappointment

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