PGA West Greg Norman 1st Timer

Played just after the intercollegiate event. Conditions were excellent all around. Had perhaps the best pre-round hamburger of my life at Wallaby’s. Take note - the carts do not come equipped with GPS, but on the plus side, you can drive them just about anywhere on the course.

EXCELLENT COURSE

Beautiful course, nice layout. Bunkers are quite deep definitely something to stay out of. Fairways were in excellent shape as well as the greens.

Great course

Great course, fairways in great shape, greens roll out nicely! Great range and chipping area. Large putting area to a feel for the speed of the greens.

Sweet course

Love fast greens. Several other courses in the area had awful fairways due to weather. These were fantastic.

What a treat!

in spite of being told there were 103 sand traps on the course, we loved it. the fairways were like a carpet - perfect. the greens were fast and true. The pace of play was relaxing but not slow. The desert didn't give back many balls but that's on me: shouldn't have been there. Likely one of the best courses we've played and would play again when we return.

Picturesque and beautiful

Beautiful course, with plenty of room off the tees. Typical Norman design. Plenty of challenges, but very playable. Fairways were excellent, but greens were top dressed with lots of sand and seed. Very bumpy and not great, but playable. Rolled true, but inconsistent, with some slow and others quicker. Tees were quite hairy but flat, and it didn’t matter much because of being able to tee it up. Pace of play was poor, as it took almost 5 hours to play .We did manage to finish, but was tough to see for the last two holes. Overall, very nice course and fun to play .Would recommend , but give yourself plenty of time to finish.

Beautiful course

It has been years since I played this course but I absolutely enjoyed my round yesterday. The fairways were immaculate, the greens were in great shape but firm, the bunkers were in great shape, and the layout was beautiful. The course is very forgiving as long as you stay on the well manicured fairways. The Practice Facility likewise was in great shape with plenty of thick grass. My only complaint about the course is that the starter was very rude. I'm not sure what his problem was. Truly, he needs a lesson in etiquette. The Rangers were very nice and cordial. Everyone else was as well. Would play again in a heartbeat!

Mashalls

Mashalls should spend more time moving the slow groups along than telling players waiting in the fairways‘it’s going to be dark soon’.
Rob in the clubhouse was very helpful. Overall very good experience.

One odd thing

Great course but 1 thing I didn’t understand; we had 2 guys in a cart and 2 singles in separate carts (1 was only playing 9) . Starter and rangers only allowed 2 of the 3 carts in the fairways at a time. Have not seen that before.
Other than that oddity, great course. Rob in the pro shop was very helpful.
