Disappointed at Westin Rancho Mirage

Very disappointed with condition of the course. No overfeeding except fairways and that is spotty. Greens are OK but rest of course is bad. Hole #5 closed! Redoing bunkers so they set up #4 as two par 3's, slowed play and all players confused. I won't go back.

Ok conditions

The fairways and rough areas of the course were disappointing. Lots of dead grass, dirt areas and weeds. The greens were in good to great shape, but overall the conditions were not at all what I expected. When I arrived I was told that hole 5 was under construction, so hole four (usually a par 5) had been split into two par 3's, with the first pin just being planted into the middle of the fairway (and the fairways were in poor condition, so there was no putting to that pin). I am spoiled since I play at a private club with pristine conditions, but I drive by other public courses frequently, and those look to be in far, far better shape than this course.

Disappointing

The 5th hole was completely closed! No warning prior to arriving at the golf course. No compensation. The fairways were rough. Many dead spots requiring me to mive the ball to a patch of grass. The greens were good.

Very poor condition!

The course has gone downhill dramatically in the last few years, NOT worth even the $90 we paid. Will NOT go back here again!

Not up to par

Course should inform that hole 6 is under repair and it plays 2 par 3 on hole 5, time of tee time reservation so players have a choice to play or not. We found out right before we teed off. They had same issue last month with hole 1 and hole 2. It makes me they chested me out.

Course was challenging. Very well maintained, however would have liked to have been aware that one hole was under construction and unplayable.

Not up to par

Fairways were spotty maybe due to early Feb date but have played in years past when fairways were in good shape. One hole closed so had the next hole made into Two par three’s so had to guess at yardage. They are doing a major overhaul of traps leaving much to be desired if you hit into one not completed, shallow, grass filled and hard to get into and out of. It’s a nice track when it’s in shape.

Nice course but…

The course is a nice layout with some nice views. However, it was not in great shape. I appreciate that they didn’t overseed every square foot of the course but the areas that were overseeded were not in great shape with lots of bare spots. The greens were in good condition. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price.

Hole under repair?

All courses in the coachella valley do renovations during the summer when very few golfers are playing. This course has decided to start renovations on the bunkers at the peak of golf season. With one hole always closed and some other par 4 converted into 2 par 3's with a bad temporary green in the middle of the fairway. After paying top dollar to book your round you are not told of this until the starter sends you to the 1st hole. This is a 17 hole course.

February 12

Unfortunately, the fairway conditions were questionable as the overseed had not taken root. There were many bare spots and very few fully grassy areas.

Green conditions on the other hand were good.

Not worth the money

Hole 4 was closed and they made hole 5 into two par 3’s without letting us know. One hole was just a pin in fairway. No beverage cart. Not impressed for how much we paid .

Avoid Windy Days

Front 9 was excellent....Great conditions. Back 9 not so lucky as the wind kicked up to 20 to 30 mph.
Cold plus wind equals misery....
The course in general is,a fantastic track. It's in fantastic shape so enjoy it on non windy days if you can.

Horrible Conditions

The fairways, tee boxes and the rough were all disasters. The fourth hole was closed with a crappy “solution” at 5 as 2 par threes. Should have taken par+ on 4 and played 5 as a par 5 like intended.

They clearly have not spent anytime on conditioning for this course. Needs to be closed, reconditioned, and reopened.

Not worth $84. $40 maybe.

Stay away even at the lesser price than other courses. It’s not worth the frustration.
