PGA WEST Pete Dye Mountain Course

Played this course on Friday, September 8, 2017. Was looking forward to it after reading some of the reviews of the course. While on the practice green, our group noticed the greens were extremely slow and bushy, nothing was rolling and when you did hit it harder, the ball really wouldn't roll but rather come to an abrupt stop. The fairways were in terrible condition as well, with grooves and gaps from their aeration of the course we were assuming. There was no mention of the greens nor the fairways being aerated and no "advisory notices" on the GolfNow website.

The greens were the real issue, super slow and very fury so the ball would never really roll. You could hit a bump and run and all you got was the bump. I wish the course would have informed the players of the condition of the course and we all could have saved some aggravation.

We played Desert Willow-Firecliff and the Marriott Shadow Ridge course the following days and needless to say, those courses made up for any lack of confidence we might have had for golf courses in the desert!

Good layout but the greens were slow and in rough shape.

Afternoon pricing is probably the best value currently in the desert. Overall course was in nice shape. The greens are green.....not much else to say other than, hard, bumpy and a little on the slow side. Fairways are top notch. Bunkers would be great with a little more maintenance. Some of the sand had a crust on it but there was sand in the traps. If you found yourself in one that had been raked that day the sand was very playable.Not far off, this will be in awesome shape. The greens are healthy enough to go shorter not sure why they don't, probably something to do with how hard the surface is. I heard the course was closed for a bit because of storm damage back in Sept. Probably why the conditioning is not what it usually is but the price more than makes up for it in the afternoons. Not super long but still a good challenge for low handicaps. I would say if you're playing around the time this is posted you're more than getting your money's worth.

Played here a few times before. Starter said greens were very fast. Got on course and greens were slow and in terrible condition. Sprinklers were coming on the entire day soaking the areas around us. Overall course condition was not good. Won’t be back for a couple years.

One of the coolest back nines I've played. holes wander through foothills with nobody else nearby and view of the Coachella Valley. Course has more rough that is playable than most desert courses, so it's playable if you're a mid handicapper. Lots of undulations and level changes. Greens were especially hard and bumpy when we played. Clubhouse and staff were great. I'd put this on your list!

Always have loved this course, but the new greens are as hard as cement.

I love this course, but the rains last year did major damage to the course. They are still getting it bacck in shape. If you played here in the past, 2024 might not live up to your expectations. But it will be back!

check in and cart personal very friendly
practice range has been irons only for quite a while
practice chip and putt area marginal
starter was a bit salty
marshal was very friendly
it was a beautiful day

The course was beautiful, with the typical Pete Dye confusion on the front nine. First timers should be warned to get a yardage book, as the front nine has craters and bumps that conceal the correct way to play it.
Fairways were perfect, but the greens were ugly and spotty, not up to the same expected standard.
