Tough, tough, tough. Lots of water everywhere as you must hit it straight and keep it in the fairway. Even approach shots must be precise or you will end up in the many greenside bunkers which can be deep. Service was great and the cartgirl came by at least 5 times. Overall an absolute enjoyable experience.

Outstanding. From the service through the layout - everything absolutely top class. Tough yet fair, beautiful yet dangerous. Every time I'm on the West Coast I'll make sure to find time to drive down ... Continue »

Where do I start? Absolutely the toughestcourse I have ever played and I have played over 50 different ones this past year. Danger lurks everywhere if you do not hit straight. If I could choose one word for the course I would say UNRELENTING. Every shot from the tee box to a simple 60 yd. chip there is either deep rough/grass bunkers to sand and/or water. There is a lot of water that you play around/over which adds to the beauty of the course not to mention several small hills sprinkled here and there on every hole. You must put 4 perfect shots together consistently or you will pay the price one way or another. The heat/humidity right now is terrible (99 degrees by 7AM. Small knatty flies seem to be everywhere which adds to the excitement as they flurry around you right before you hit your shot. All in all I would say it is a must play at some time in your life, just not this time of year. Punishing yet memorable. One side note- Unless you are a 10 handicap or less do not even think of playing the blue tees. Our group ahead of us tried to and they took 5 hours with no one in front of them (looking for lost balls/having to drive back and re-tee and so forth) It was rediculous practically having to wait every shot for the sake of their egos. Great customer service, cart girl was pro, bringing us lots of water and ice 4 times throughout the round!!

A word of warning to all who travel to Palm Springs to play the PGA West resort courses, I agree with swbkrntom regarding service. I play these courses every summer and have yet to experience quality service. I keep going back because you can't beat the price in the summer and there are some great individual holes on each courses.
