The Stadium Course at PGA WEST
Played On 02/12/2018Really fun course
After playing the Nicklaus course in the morning we played the Stadium course in the afternoon. Would believe that the Stadium course edges out as the better course, and this was a super fun and super challenging experience. Hole layouts were really interesting with lots of bunkers and expanding/narrowing fairways. Greens were quite small and required strategic shots to hit; were also very fast. Special thanks to Mark in the pro shop who was very friendly and heled us have a fantastic experience. All around would recommend this great course.
PGA WEST Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course
Played On 02/12/2018Really interesting layout
This course was really fun to play, the Nicklaus design is very cool. Often double tiered fairways/rough with lots of tough shots up to elevated greens with bunkers surrounding. Course was in great shape and greens were very speedy and true. Off course amenities including pro shop and practice area were first class and service was great.
The Classic Club
Played On 02/11/2018Good but not great
Was expecting this course course to be on par with top courses in the area, however I would have to say this course fell slightly short. While the green speed was nice and fast and the course conditions were solid, certain parts of the course were not well maintained. The bunkers had a complete lack of sand and were not pleasant to hit out of, this was a major detractor for us given that this is advertised as a top course. The rough in certain areas were quite burnt out. However, course design was pretty solid with strategically placed water, bunkers, doglegs and thought this was a pretty fun course. Further, there were a couple add ons we to our round including a food gift card and free towel that added to the value of the course. If the course re-sanded their bunkers I would be likely to give this course a more positive review.
Indian Wells Golf Resort - Celebrity Course
Played On 02/10/2018A must play in Palm Springs
This course is a real treat to play. The hole layouts are all unique and memorable, conditions are perfect including nicely rolled greens. Lots of variety off the tee with multiple clubs required. Pace of play was great (1:20 tee off). Played a handful of courses in Palm Springs including Desert Willow (both courses), Escena, Classic Club and the Celebrity Course at Indian Wells would edge out Desert Willow Firecliff as our favourite course that we have played so far. Would definitely recommend!
Escena Golf Club
Played On 02/10/2018Relatively straightforward/boring course
This course was in great condition and some of the views, especially with the nearby mountains and planes flying by from the airport, were pretty spectacular. However, a lot of the holes were repetetive/ not that memorable considering the Nicklaus design and on top of that the greens were very slow (although seemed pretty well maintained). Clubhouse and practice area were beautiful, just a heads up that the range is a 30 foot shot into netting. If I could choose, I would recommend Indian Wells or Desert Willow on top of this course, however still think this is a fun course to play and conditions are solid.
Mountain View at Desert Willow Golf Resort
Played On 02/09/2018Great course; not as good as Firecliff side
While I would certainly recommend this course and had a great time here, I would recommend the Firecliff course if you only had time for one round at this great facility. The layout and hole variety on this side just felt a little more vanilla than the superb Firecliff course. However the course conditions, service and all around property would add this course to my recommendation list for this area. Range and clubhouse are top notch here also.
Firecliff at Desert Willow Golf Resort
Played On 02/09/2018Great Course
This course was in super shape when we played and while the greens weren’t lightning quick, they were decently fast and rolled very true, Course conditions were immaculate and service at the course was great. Would recommend this course over the Mountain View course as this course had a more interesting layout and hole variety. Would play this course again for sure.
Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon - Legends Course
Played On 02/08/2018Great value for money
This track has a very interesting layout and design, and the views are spectacular. However, by the looks of the maintenance, the course seems to be in somewhat of a state of disrepair, including bunkers with low sand, bumpy greens, barren fairways and tee boxes. With a little bit of work this course has the potential to be in great shape, you can certainly see that. However, at the prices this course offers, the value for money is still very high and I would certainly recommend this course for its great value!
Park Ridge Golf Course
Played On 02/03/2017Challenging course, average conditions
This track is quite fun, lots of par 3s and 5s, many elevation changes, and semi-blind shots off the tee and approaching the green. Great value for money.
The course is in okay shape. Greens were good quality and ran true, rest of course was average.
Would definitely recommend for a fun, fast, reasonable round.
Thank you for your review of Park Ridge. We feature six par 3s, six par 4s and six par 5s, which definitely makes for an interesting round. We hope you will come see us again when you return to Florida.
