A Dye disappointment
The course suffered significant damage from flooding last September. Driving range closed and several areas still unplayable due to water. It smells in several locations. The greens, which I understand had just been completed before the flooding are anything but green, more brown and slow. I think GOLF NOW should have made me aware if these conditions before getting a time. The rate was $142 which should have been no more than half given the above. I’d recommend NOT playing this course till they get the course back into play. Also shocking that the course does NOT have a GPS system on the carts— are you kidding me?? Truly a Dye disappointment.
Scenic and fun course to play
The Mountain course was an interesting combination of beauty with some risk reward. While the back nine has some beautiful holes, this is also when the course tightens and is surrounded by homes. The greens were all new which made them quite challenging. Speed was up and they were extremely firm so holding a green was challenging. Overall it was a great test and two of us engoyed the two two singles that we were paired with.
Great Course
Course was awesome to play. Amazing and accommodating staff. very friendly and helpful!
Not what it once was
I've played this course each time we have visited LaQuinta over the past decade. The back 9 is the highlight of the course with wonderful views and challenging holes. Unfortunately, the recent redesign has made the course less appealing. The greens were rough and not really rolling true.
We have also had an issue with certain groups playing that will hit into our group even though we are keeping up with and on pace with the group ahead of us. During this round, the group behind us hit into us on 4 different occasions. They stopped once I went back and addressed them.
Spectacular Views
Several tee options to choose from. Fun to play, wide fairways, beautiful views of the mountains and valley.
A Pete Dye Course I liked
As part of the PGA Family Championship, we played the Mountain course. The greens were just redone lie the Dunes but they are far more playable than the Dunes.
The back 9 closing holes are truly memorable. You work your way into the mountains and the views are amazing.
Off the tee, aggressive play is rewarded if you execute your shot.
Once the greens mature this course will be 5 star in my opinion.
Typical resort course
Decent layout. The back 9 seems better than the front. This course seems plagued with slow play, lots of waiting. Staff seemed more interested in giving you directions to leave before dark than speeding up play so you could finish. Not worth the twilight discount because the best part of the course seems to be the back nine and you won’t get to see it with the slow pace of play.
Terrible Value
Course was in poor shape. Greens were dry and wouldn't hold approach shots. Tee boxes are in terrible condition. Play was super slow - 5 + hours. Had to quit on 16 as there were 3 groups waiting on a par 3.
Be prepared
Setting is just right. It's against the mountain to give that feeling this is the course how it will play. So it's kind of a links style, great holes, the second hole you better have your long irons warmed up. ( only down fall is irons at the range only). From white 175 yds. Water running down the left side up to the green, jetting back and forth to the green. Right side up and down hills just to give you that awkward lie. and the green, size of a nickle.....good luck!. The rest is Pete design to challenge your game. But that's the front nine lualling you to sleep, get to 10 you better coffee up, Red Bull or whatever it takes to get you fired up. Back nine your playing in and really along the mountain. You put your pencil and play and enjoy the moments. The 16th regardless of your play you have to play off the black or whites. It's like Pete was sitting there with favorite drink on his Adirondack chair to design this par 3. It's a Pete Dye moment hole. Awesome view. Know problem recommending this course to a friend, enemy, stranger on the street. A must play.
Yikes
This course is not in good shape and is a difficult course,
there are no signs and it is confusing to find the way to the next hole.
Hole #9 is undergoing some changes and there are no signs to indicate what and where a player should play, as well some employee stands out on the green shouting at people where to take carts. Frankly i fouund the way players being treated quite disgusted ! some well placed signs would eliminate the confustion.
Not sure i would play either of these two courses, again , ever !
Disappointment everywhere
Booked a round at PGA West Mountain course with the anticipation of a premium course and had an entirely different experience. Course was in terribly poor condition for the price of admission. Carts don’t have gps on them whereas budget course around here do…. Extremely lame scrambling to find an app to give us gps information that is now standard on today’s golf courses.
Greens were newly planted and basically hard packed dirt with some tiny hybrid green coming up. Greens were crunching under our feet. There was numerous places throughout the course that was under heavy repair and roped off including a large portion of hole 9 that was an open sink hole.
Pace of play was terrible. We spent 10+ minutes waiting to tee off at nearly every hole. Tee time was at 1pm and starter told us we might get through hole 12…. We finished 14 holes and missed signature holes through the mountain ranges.
Overall I wish we had gone anywhere else. We played shadow mountain the day before and should have gone back there. Other than stunning views, everything else was lacking or just plain disappointing imo. Disappointing for a course that was towards the top of my list for the area. We wont be going back with so many better options in the area.
