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

greens really out of shape
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.

Poor green conditions
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.

TLC
The course needs some TLC, especially the greens. Once the course is back in good condition, it will get excellent ratings across the board (except maybe pace of play).

The overall course was fantastic. The only issue I had was the speed if the greens…..we fought to get the ball to the hole the entire round.

Greens are in bad shape
Not sure why this course is charging so much for a rack rate. I’d be irritated at the conditions of the greens if I paid over $100 to play here. They need to switch these greens out to TifDwarf/ Bermuda like they did at the Norman, Palmer Private, Mtns and Dunes

Beautiful Course
I've played this course twice now. Once full price during high season and once with a hot deal I love it. The staff are wonderful. Practice facilities are great and the view from the restaurant/bar is pretty. Pace of play was great. Will be back!
