PGA WEST Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course

Played PGA West Nicolas on 9/16/23. Their website did not mention that the greens were sanded and the rough uncut. If you are a scratch golfer you will probably be fine. If you miss the fairway the rough is so thick even if you have a basic idea where it landed you can kiss the ball goodbye. I find it very dishonest not to advertise on their website the poor conditions of their course. They even warned us that the conditions were bad. Thanks for nothing. Traveled 3 hours to get there and prepaid for the round.

Do yourself a favor and make sure the course is properly prepared especially early season. If the greens are sandy and the rough has not be cut stay away if you like your balls.

Unhappy golfer.

Course was not in pristine condition, but cannot expect that in the middle of summer. (6/27/23) challenging course, but ample landing areas in the fairway. Greens were not overly difficult. Fair challenge. Would play again.
As for the service we received. 5Star all the way around! From the bag drop, pro shop, starter, and the Marshalls who checked in on us every few holes to make sure we we doing ok. Never any pressure. Very courteous and professional staff! I wish our club had this type of professionalism.
If you get the opportunity, play here. I believe you will enjoy it.

The course always is a challenge. Elevated greens, 10/15 Foot Rise and Fall around the greens. Greens were not good. Not worth the money. Traps are hard pan. The depth of the traps require a blast shot that’s impossible off hard pan.

A little rough in patches, however greens rolled true.

Like to drive a ball? It’s for you

Island greens on par 5 excellent!

The Staff is awesome! The course was in great shape. A few greens were showing signs from the heat, but still rolled true.

Wide fairways made it enjoyable and kept play fast. Greens had some damage but still in good shape. Staff is awesome!

Greens were a disappointment. Sand traps could use more sand.

The ranger was very unkind and push us too much even there were no other groups.

we were there 6/11 and the greens were in bad shape, alot of dry bald spots. the course looked quite empty but they squeezed in back to back tee times, and the four some behind us were constantly on our backs.

I was so excited because I heard so many good things about PGA West, but was disappointed early after the first 2 holes. The course is in a terrible condition. Wasted my time golfing here.

I was looking forward to playing this legendary course. I was disappointed to see the greens in bad shape with bald spots, long grass, and extremely slow speeds. Bunkers also needed some care as they were very hard and compact. Hopefully the other PGA west courses are not in similar condition. Otherwise fun, very challenging layout.
