Avoid this course
This is a pga west course. So it should be top level. It was not. The two women working the pro shop were rude. The driving range was closed, no gps on carts and the course had damage from recent flood and was unplayable on front nine. It smelled like sewage and on some holes you couldnt retrieve your ball due to mud and flooding. The front nine should be closed. The starter was rude and unfriendly. Avoid course no matter the deal and golf now should not have this course as an option currently
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful course. Stunning views. Get your camera ready for hole 16. Recent flooding had it not in the best of shape but if your on the fairway you are golden.
No driving range and course recently under water
Currently the driving range is closed and the front nine are VERY rough since the course was recenty under water. Holes 1 and 9 smell really bad (like sewage?) and much of the fairways are muddy ground under repair. I would wait to play this course until they get things fixed. The back 9 (which didn't have the flooding problem) is beautiful but hard to get through the front 9 with all the issues.
Great golf and stunning views
Excellent resort golf course not too long but challenging to play. Course condition have been good from tee to green. Only little negative was the practice which was closed because of flooding earlier in the month.
The Mountain is always a great experience
As I have played the Mountain multiple times, it was again an excellent experience. Course conditions were great in despite of the flooding which happened a month ago, the lay out is varied and challenging without being too difficult and too long. A pity that the practice was closed so we had to start without warming up a situation handled by the reception on a pretty rude manner.
Terrible Course Conditions - Stay Away!
I have played this course for the past 15 years and really have enjoyed it. Great layout, views and playability.
Until this year! The range was closed. No GPs on the carts. We were warned by the starter that there was some water on the course but did not anticipate the stinking mud pits on holes 1 and 9.
The worst part was the greens. The starter warned us that they had redesigned the greens to the original specs. He told us they were very hard and we wouldn’t be able to stop our shots and he wasn’t kidding. Our foursome spent all round driving the ball well and watching our approach shots hit the front and the middle of the greens and roll off. The greens were brown and rough.
The course should be closed until it’s playable. Don’t waste your money on this mess for the next couple of months!
Course is damaged
This is usually our favorite course. We redeemed all our GolfNow credits to get $140 rate from probably $200. They are still pumping water out of low lying areas. There is a stench. Shame on PGA West for charging regular rates for a significantly damaged course. The driving range is closed due to damage as well.
Beware when booking Mountain Course - Bait and Switch
This is the 2nd time I booked mountain and was switched to dunes when I arrived at the course. We were told the Mountain course was flooded and Clubhouse said they sent emails to 3rd party we booked thru (Supreme golf) but nobody received anything.
We had 2 foursomes celebrating a bachelor party and needless to say we were dissapointed when we arrived and were told we were playing dunes and our tee-time was delayed 90 minutes.
Granted the weather was not ideal (30 mph wind gusts), but the conditions of the course was not great. Tee boxes were small and uneven, bunkers had NO SAND in them, greens were not rolling smooth, etc. Back 9 plays more into the mountains and is much more enjoyable than the front, which has some very uninspiring holes.
Very dissapointing experience. Too many great courses in the desert to ever come back here.
Green are hard like concrete - no pitch mark - regardless what you had hit
May23 they redo the green - but now they are hard like cement
Green are new, too firm, too bumpy and too slow. There minimal shading on the course. The mountain scenery is great however.
Over priced. Too difficult.
This is a very expensive course, yet they don’t have GPS screens in the carts…and as this is a Pete Dye course, there are hidden hazards throughout. Without the GPS, too many misplayed shots.
Driving range was closed due to repairs…that happens but they could have done something to compensate for that (a free sleeve of balls).
There are several beautiful holes on the back, but the front is unexceptionable.
Terrible greens
Understanding that the greens are new, but leave your hallmark tool home. No need for one here.
Wait until grounds recover from flood damage.
Course is rough from water damage due to hurricane last October. Driving range shut down and several areas under repair. Call before you want to play for updates.
Don’t bother with this course
Pete dye mountain course first nine is boring, flat, nothing special. Back nine gets interesting in the rocks. Dark early against the mountains. Greens have no grip thanks to brown grass. Signature hole 16 backs up. Should have a Marshall there to keep things moving etc. group behind us jumped in front while we’re on elevated tees waiting our turn. Not worth the money.
Scenic back 9
The PGA West Dye Mountain course is decent although when we played they had recently replaced the greens and they were very firm - approach shots didn’t hold at all.
Scenic back 9.
Good track, but I would put it in the average category for the price compared to other options in Palm Springs//Palm Desert
Better than all the rest of pga west
Most of these reviews are beyond wrong. They might have suffered storm damage in the fall- but it's back to glorious & a GEM of a course!!! 16 might be the best par three in the desert 🏜- and playing literally in the mountains is an experience like nothing else!!! Viva the Mountain course & it's spectacular views- we will definitely return!!! JP
The Mountain Course has seen better days for sure!
One of my favorite courses from coast to coast, however Mother Nature had not been nice to the Valley the past week. Multiple holes had been affected by the deluge of rain. After 17 years of playing PGA West, this is probably the worst I have seen it.
That being said sadly it was also probably one of the most unfriendly visits to the Mountain Course as well. The new management/owner may not have the same customer service mentality that I have always affiliated with the entire PGA West group of courses and staff. I guess times have changed and it is starting to show…..perhaps not always in a good way. #bummer #lossofagoodthing #didn’tseemspecial
When you find a gem like PGA West and have visited it many times over the past 17 years, it brings a frown to my face knowing it no longer seems to be that special place it once was.
However, will I play the course again? Yes. Do I feel it needs to polish a few rough areas to bring the sparkle back to that what it used to be….. A DEFINITE YES. But I have hopes they will soon.
A Dye disappointment
The course suffered significant damage from flooding last September. Driving range closed and several areas still unplayable due to water. It smells in several locations. The greens, which I understand had just been completed before the flooding are anything but green, more brown and slow. I think GOLF NOW should have made me aware if these conditions before getting a time. The rate was $142 which should have been no more than half given the above. I’d recommend NOT playing this course till they get the course back into play. Also shocking that the course does NOT have a GPS system on the carts— are you kidding me?? Truly a Dye disappointment.
