PGA WEST Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course

Just Amazing!!! While I prefer the Stadium & the Mountain at pga west- The Nicklaus tourney course was in amazing shape & beautiful!!! JP

I have played this course for the past 10 years and today it was in the best shape it’s ever been in. Bravo to the sup. And crew. Spectacular experience!

Only got to play 9 hole because of the time but wow it was worth it.
Will happly play it again.

with AMEX tournament coming up, the course is in pristine condition. Except for the elevated greens and some run off's into fairway side bunkers..there are so many places to play safe and do well.

Was fortunate to okay the course as they were getting it ready for the American Express Tournament in January. Course was immaculate

Highly recommend experiencing this course! From the moment you walk into the pro shop which looks out over the course and the driving range, it's breathtaking! We were fortunate to play about a month before the AMEX tournament and the course was in amazing condition.

While frost delays aren't common in the desert, they can occur this time of year. This was the case for our twosome. We flew in from Oregon the morning of the tenth and made our way out to PGA West. They I formed us that they were running about an hour behind. We grabbed a bite on the patio and made our way over to the starter about 11:45. About an hour before our scheduled tee time. I let the starter know that we were here early and if there was any chance getting off early we would be willing to do so. His reply was not in his words but how he said it. "Yea, that's not going to happen". I told him that we would be on the range and gave him our cart number and name. After hitting some balls, my friend and I made our way over to the putting green. This gives a good view of the #1 tee fir Nicklaus Tournament. I witnessed a twosome teeing off. Thinking that they were catching up or maybe someone was running late. After a few minutes I made my way over to the starter and asked him "Did you just send a twosome off"?. He kind of paused and said "excuse me"?.I repeated myself and he told me they were part of a six some and wanted to play by themselves. My reply was "You got to be kidding, you're running 45 minutes behind and you are sending off twosomes". There are many golf Courses to play in the Coachella Valley. Two of which we played the following day were Rams Hill and Shadow Ridge. Two courses I would return to and highly recommended over PGA West. Both the condition and service were far and above what we found at PGA West. I certainly hope the powers that be use this experience to implement a program on customer service as there is quite a bit of room for improvement. On a positive note, our breakfast was wonderful and the restaurant staff was fantastic. ...

Trying to rate it against so many great resort courses in the in the Palm Desert area is difficult Truly a great golf course with all of Jack’s touches. Plenty of sand and water to challenge players of all levels.
Missing is the flowers and water falls of some of resort courses to make it pretty, but making up for it in a great well designed layout. Condition were great as they prepare for the PGA in January. Staff was excellent.

Great condition very nice course preferred by some locals over their private course.

Many of the bunkers had no sand on top of hard pan making normal bunker shots impossible.

For the amount charged for green fees, this should be 5 star across the board. Breakfast was average and I am being kind. The signage for hole to hole play was bad particularly on 10 and 12. We inadvertently started playing 2 again after 9 and had a hard time finding 12 tee.

We will choose other options next time we are here.

2nd time playing this course. Very expensive for conditions. Over seeding. Cart path only. Golf now should inform you prior to booking. I would have paid half the price somewhere else with much better conditions
