La Quinta Resort & Club, a Waldorf Astoria Resort

Enjoyed the round and the experience. Apparently the greens were replaced last year and are still adapting, thus, they were very firm and fast. Unless you can really spin the ball, most shots will run a long way when approaching the green and thus into the grass or sand bunkers. Course is not long and fairways have some run to them.

The course was immaculate! A great experience to end our annual golf trip. Our tee time was at 3pm so tough to squeeze in all 18 holes, but we did it! Great selection of merchandise in the proshop. The laser engraved bag tag is the way to go!

We decided to grab a last minute tee time at the PGA WEST Nicholas Tournament Course. We are so happy that we did. We played at the 4pm discounted tee time on a Friday. The course, pace, value, conditions, layout, etc were all great.

The course was beautiful, with the typical Pete Dye confusion on the front nine. First timers should be warned to get a yardage book, as the front nine has craters and bumps that conceal the correct way to play it.
Fairways were perfect, but the greens were ugly and spotty, not up to the same expected standard.

Obviously, a great course. Staff was very friendly and expedient. Could’ve used a ranger on the course to speak people up, and definitely have a water station or two. Bring your own water as you are in the desert.

Nice course. Nice clubhouse. There’s also a nice outdoor eating area with a good menu. The course is in good condition and greens rolled well. The bunkers around greens have decent sand levels with heavier style sand. The waste bunkers are hard pack. Pace was great on front and slower on back. Carts have smartphone charging capabilities but no built in GPS screen system.

Beautiful surroundings, new greens very hard to hold approach shots. We were doing great pace wise then ground to a halt on #10.

This course is ALWAYS stacked up and yesterday was worse than usual. At minimum 2-3 foursomes playing on EACH hole. At least an 5-8 minute wait on EACH tee and then more waits to finish it out!!. Unbearable for the money that one plays. The RANGERS do nothing and don't care either. Not sure why you have a 9 minute tee-off schedule, Are you purposely trying to anger the people who are playing for some pretty big bucks? I play a lot of golf courses and this one is the WORST in playing time!!

I have played all the PGA West courses, with the exception of the three private courses. Greg Norman course was my favorite, by quite a wide margin. The course conditions were nearly perfect. The tee boxes were great, the bunkers were maintained, and the greens were true - very fast (11 on the stimp) and firm.
I can't believe I have not heard more rave reviews about this place. I believe Stadium is overhyped b/c it's on television. Jack's Tourney course is nice but it doesn't hold up to the maintenance of Norman. Whoever is responsible for keeping this course is tip top shape deserves a raise. I will be back. Without question.

Read previous reviews about the greens- They.are tough to hold and they require creative shot selection. I thought the ball rolled great on them. I would love another crack at playing there- the pace of play was tremendous. We didn’t wait once all day and had nobody pushing us. This course was an excellent value as it was cheaper to play than most 18 hole courses with cart and range balls included. We had a great time playing here.

Course is in great shape; greens were fantastic and quick! Pace of play … bring a book. Make sure to book your time NO LATER than 1:30/1:45 if you want to finish in the daylight. Course is booked (which is good), but the play is slow (course wants a 4.5 hour round)… it was a 5 hour 10 min round on Monday.
