PGA West

Played the Stadium Course and Nicklaus Championship course and preferred the latter more. Not sure if it was cart path only on the stadium, but I was not «wowed» by the Pete Dye design. Both courses were in excellent shape and I had a good time. The pace of play on the stadium was laborious and seemed to take a long time. The group ahead of us was the problem and the ranger warned them several times to speed it up. After about the 12^th hole, they disappeared and we finished the round in 4:05. Not sure if they requested the group to pick it up and leave, but I applaud the course for not tolerating extremely slow play.
This was a check off on the bucket list and I’m glad I played it. Would I return, probably. Paid $ 109 which seemed reasonable for a course with the notoriety.
The greens on the Nicklaus course break towards Indio and be sure to check the direction of the grain which had a huge effect on the break and speed especially on uphill putts.
Taking pictures on the iPhone doesn’t do the scenery justice. The views are spectacular.

Absolutely breath-​taking golf here at PGA West. I’m here for the National Championship for Golf Channel and the course couldn’t be in any better shape. The greens are rolling true as ever, and the grass is cut extraordinarily well. I would recommend this course to any and everyone. Fantastic job, I’ll be back!!!

Played the Stadium course and the Jack Nicklaus Tournament courses and they were both magnificently groomed! Terry in the pro shop was knowledgeable and helpful… his customer service was excellent! We will be back again :)

Great golf courses,…
I prefer Weiskopf because of the open layout…
The Palmer and Nicklaus private courses provide the most scenic views
