#15 on La Quinta's Mountain is laying along the base of the mountains - stay tight to the base and go for this par 5 in two. The green stays snug up against the base and will not be in full view.

the greens of this course were terrible. They are by far the worst greens we have played in the Palm Springs area. About 4 greens were completely brown and burnt out.Terrible. Also noone tells you about the major construction going on that affects two holes. It was a very nice course in very poor condition

SLOW SLOW AND SLOWER

This course is ALWAYS stacked up and yesterday was worse than usual. At minimum 2-3 foursomes playing on EACH hole. At least an 5-8 minute wait on EACH tee and then more waits to finish it out!!. Unbearable for the money that one plays. The RANGERS do nothing and don't care either. Not sure why you have a 9 minute tee-off schedule, Are you purposely trying to anger the people who are playing for some pretty big bucks? I play a lot of golf courses and this one is the WORST in playing time!!

Mountain Course is beautiful!

The storm that rolled through on whole #7 was ominous yet satisfying. Greens and fairways are both in great condition. One up from the tips played a little long for me and the elevated fronts made it more challenging. Would have like to score better and probable would have from the Senior tees. I would recommend this trac to everyone. Stunning views on every hole. We will definitely be back to play the other side. The Starter and clubhouse crew were all very polite and accommodating.

Very disappointing!

Had a wonderful experience here about 10 years ago which is why we came back. Course condition is incredibly poor, pace of play is terrible and staff service is poor. Absolutely not wort $200 a pop. $50 at best. A real shame to see such an iconic location so tired and run down.

Poor value for the money.

We booked PGA West Dye Mountain Course as it was a special day for us deserving of a great golf experience. It was anything but. The course conditions were poor at best - and there was no marshall in sight to manage the slow play in front of us. Overall a very disappointing experience and poor value for the money.

Poor value for the money.

We’ve always understood PGA tracks to be superior golf experiences. We booked PGA West, Dye Mountain, as it was a special day worthy of a great golf experience. Our experience was anything but special. We found the service less than adequate. The foursome in front of us included a child 3 to 4 years old riding with his father whom spent most of his time on the phone on business ignoring his child - and no marshall to keep their excessive slow play in check. The course was in surprisingly poor condition. Not good value for the money.

Very Disappointing!!! Not worth the $$$

Chose to play here because of a past great experience -before it was a PGA West property. What a mistake! Course is in very poor shape. Absolutely no longer the premium property and experience it once was and definitely not worth $200 USD/round/person. It was an embarassment to take guests there.

Great course, shame no showers/towels

99% is amazing. Lovely course in good condition. Aim for the front of the green because they are very firm and I didn’t as much spin as usual. Greens were slower than expected but that’s no bad thing.
The only downside is off the course. I’d driven from LA so wanted a shower after the round. Every nice course I’ve ever been to has towels provided. This course doesn’t which was a really downer as I drove back quite smelly!
So take your own towel and it will be a perfect day.

Great Course but slow pace of play and lack golf ranger

I enjoy playing the Mountain course. Even though you tee off the first hole when prior group on the first green the pace of play is always slow . There is never a ranger on the course encouraging those slow golfers to speed up. This continues to be a frustration with the course mgt.

Great course first time playing everything was great tee boxes on the par 3s a little rough but other than that highly recommend this course. The starter had a great attitude which is a plus gets you off and running with a smile. Unlike a few other courses I have played in the are.

Pretty good

A lot of foursomes but pace of play went pretty well. Greens are still slow from all the rain and will take time to repair, but fairways and roughs are still terrific as always. Driving range won’t be open for two more week due to rain damage.

Pete Dye Mountain Course is a mess

I haven't played the Pete Dye Mountain Course in years. Now I remember why. The hole designs are brutal. The design is to take the ball away from the hole every chance it gets. There arre few misses allowed. You are penalized for good shots. Not fair . . . . It's just stupid. This is a golf RESORT. Getting your braind beat out is no enjoyment. A difficult golf course should not be a stupid.onr. Check out PGA WEST Nicholas, Stadium or Norman. Or Indian Canyon South or Silver Rock all are much fairer. You'll have a better time.

Was expecting better greens

Challenging course, high handicapper will find it difficult as all greens are elevated, lots of false fronts. Back nine incredible front nine not as picturesque. Greens do not have deep roots, lots of gravel when fixing ball marks. So greens are a little long and fuzzy. No GPS on carts, would expect that for this price point.

I wouldn't go back this year.

Currently no driving range or chipping area do to flood, so don't show up early as there is nothing to do.
Greens are new and are rock hard, you hit the middle of the grean it will not stay on.
Lots of ground under repair from the flood.
Back nine is in great shape minus the rock hard greens.
No GPS on carts

Not worth full price

Cool course great views. No range right now, greens are rock hard and flood damage around course. I figured other reviews were being a bit extreme with the green conditions but they are right. No need for a divot tool and aim for the front of the green. Even with that info good luck holding them
