PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

The Dunes is always fun to play

Not long but challenging green shots and tough putting. The re-design of the greens has brought some spice to the course and made it even more difficult to score on. Maintenance was excellent from tees to greens.

It is a pity that a good design is spoiled by poor maintenance

The course is nicely designed with a good variety of difficulties. Staff at the reception did its best to welcome the visitors. On the other hand the maintenance was really poor with slow and spotty greens, grass uneven on fairways and tees. Least to complain about were the bunkers with enough quality sand.

Course maintenance does not match the design

Course has a nice lay-out with several really challenging holes. But the maintenance is poor, high and uneven grass on tees, fairways nearly ok, but the greens are really not good with lot’s of patches, slow uneven and bumpy. Club house is not attractive to have a drink and/or bite after the game. A pity!

Nice course in rough surroundings

Nice layout with a good mix of challenging and more relax holes. Maintenance was excellent from tee to green (latter could have been faster) and the best bunkers in the valley. Which was really disappointing was that we were taken off the course in a particularly unfriendly manner at 4:30pm 45 minutes prior sunset so we couldn’t finish the round in despite the pace that could easily allowed for. Besides the fact that we couldn’t finish the round the way we told by the office manager was disgraceful.

Excellent resort course

The clubhouse is definitely the weakest part of the course. Once overcome, you discover an excellent resort course, not too challenging so it is good to play for players of all level. We found the course in excellent condition from tee to green.

The Mountain is always a great experience

As I have played the Mountain multiple times, it was again an excellent experience. Course conditions were great in despite of the flooding which happened a month ago, the lay out is varied and challenging without being too difficult and too long. A pity that the practice was closed so we had to start without warming up a situation handled by the reception on a pretty rude manner.

Course has seen better times

When checking in we were told that the first hole is closed for re-doing the bunkers and the second hole is split in 2 ridiculous par 3s! The fairways were not in great shape with lots of brown patches. Tees and greens were ok. I have played the course multiple times and this time the course was far below its usual standard.

No more a premium course in the Coachella Valley

I have seen the Pete Dye course in much better condition than this time. Fairways were in poor condition which made us play preferred lies. Greens and tees were ok. Last but not least we were told that holes 1 and 2 were closed for rearranging the bunkers, work which I do not understand why it is done at the beginning of the high season.

Poor amenities and desperate pace of play

Finding no practice and then going to the first tee to see a group of 5 players in front of us hitting no shot more than 50 yards and taking about half hour for the first hole we questioned the starter if this was normal. Upon his confirmation that this was allowed we decided this was not the way we wanted to spoil our day and did not play the course. We were refunded our greenfees which was fair.

Fantastic layout

The course is tough from tee to green and requires the mastering of all your clubs in the bag. The bunkers are perfectly positioned and there are plenty. The green are difficult to read and play. Course condition was excellent and you can only have an excellent time at Ram‘s Hill.

Excellent which makes fun to play

It is always a great pleasure to come back to play the Nicklaus Tournament. Lay-out is great and challenging but fair. This time the course condition was excellent from tee to green and even the sand in the bunkers wasgood.

Design changes are misfit

Having been a La Quinta resident for over 10 years, I regularly played Silverrock because I loved the original design of the course. A great mixture of challenging and less difficult holes which made the course fun for many players, but always a good and fair test of golf. The changes done some 5 years ago don‘t fit the course and in particular the 18th is a disgrace for a course that formerly was a PGA Tour venue. Last but not least I have never found Silverrock in such bad condition with real bumpy greens. It seems that the priorities have changed, with all efforts targeted to the future hotels and residences, neglecting the maintenance of the course. What a pity!

The Dunes is the lesser rated course at PGA West, but this is wrong

The Dunes has an excellent and challenging lay-out which in particular demands excellent green shots on small mostly elevated greens. If you have a good score for the 16 first holes, everything can go wrong on the signature 17th and a tough 18th. It is always a great pleasure to play the Dunes.

Nice setting in the middle of the Chardonnay wineyards

Nice setting with a number of challenging holes that are fun to play. However taking more than 4 and a half hours in a fourball to play the course is unacceptable where golf athorities make efforts to accelerate the game.

Excellent course and stunning views

The course remains impressive and is always a great pleasure to play. However with the imminent overseeding, the greens were as good as they should be. Another points concerns the flooding reserve in impressive concrete between the 14th and the 15th fairways, which spoils the scenery of both impressive hole. Why not filling the reserve with bushes to hide the ugly concrete and bring back the original scenery of the holes.

Excellent course to play in the desert

The Nicklaus is an excellent test of golf requiring a large variety of shots. The course was in great condition, thus the greens were a bit slower than usual.
