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.

fun round

played with two members and their friend, great company, they were a big help since i hadn't played the course before. it was hard to miss a fairway when the fairway cut went wall to wall, no rough. if you missed the fairway good luck, dessert and bushes every where. the greens were beautiful, not to many ball marks to fix. bunkers were fine, great practice facility. not sure i ever found a signature hole.

Slow but fun round

Started very slow as threesome ahead of me took way too long on every drive and putt but eventually they left and the marshall got me hooked up with the team ahead of them and the rest of the round was smooth sailing. The fairways traps and water were all in impeccable conditions and the staff was super-nice. One of my alltime favorite tracks.

Great conditions

I was excited to play this particular PGA West course being that I’ve haven’t played the Norman design yet . The course was in great condition if there was one thing that I take took away from playing is that the greens were surprisingly playing on the slow side. It was a great day until finishing up on the 16th hole when the Marshal came up barking at us that we’re done do to lack of light. I understand that it was starting to get dark but he definitely could’ve used a friendlier approach . I felt like we were breaking the law or something.I might give it second chance .
