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.
Scenic and fun course to play
The Mountain course was an interesting combination of beauty with some risk reward. While the back nine has some beautiful holes, this is also when the course tightens and is surrounded by homes. The greens were all new which made them quite challenging. Speed was up and they were extremely firm so holding a green was challenging. Overall it was a great test and two of us engoyed the two two singles that we were paired with.
Great Course
Course was awesome to play. Amazing and accommodating staff. very friendly and helpful!
Not what it once was
I've played this course each time we have visited LaQuinta over the past decade. The back 9 is the highlight of the course with wonderful views and challenging holes. Unfortunately, the recent redesign has made the course less appealing. The greens were rough and not really rolling true.
We have also had an issue with certain groups playing that will hit into our group even though we are keeping up with and on pace with the group ahead of us. During this round, the group behind us hit into us on 4 different occasions. They stopped once I went back and addressed them.
Spectacular Views
Several tee options to choose from. Fun to play, wide fairways, beautiful views of the mountains and valley.
A Pete Dye Course I liked
As part of the PGA Family Championship, we played the Mountain course. The greens were just redone lie the Dunes but they are far more playable than the Dunes.
The back 9 closing holes are truly memorable. You work your way into the mountains and the views are amazing.
Off the tee, aggressive play is rewarded if you execute your shot.
Once the greens mature this course will be 5 star in my opinion.
Typical resort course
Decent layout. The back 9 seems better than the front. This course seems plagued with slow play, lots of waiting. Staff seemed more interested in giving you directions to leave before dark than speeding up play so you could finish. Not worth the twilight discount because the best part of the course seems to be the back nine and you won’t get to see it with the slow pace of play.
Terrible Value
Course was in poor shape. Greens were dry and wouldn't hold approach shots. Tee boxes are in terrible condition. Play was super slow - 5 + hours. Had to quit on 16 as there were 3 groups waiting on a par 3.
