PGA WEST Private Clubhouse & Golf Courses

We played Palmer, Norman, and Nick Private. All challenging courses and in top condition. Absolutely phenomenal experience I can’t recommend it enough.

Played Palmer private today. Great conditions overall, a couple of greens had grass in rough shape but still rolled fine. Very nice course and a another great golf spot in the valley.

I will start the review with, this course is great. However, it is not as great as I expected it to be. The course is challenging, however it is not as hard as I thought it would/ should be. There is almost no punishment for hitting wildly inaccurate drives since there is no existence of rough. I was suggested to play from not the tips but one set forward, I found myself hitting wedges into every single green from that length, which is not what a hard course should present. I thought the greens were slow, but firm. Almost all putts would end up short when you are expecting a tournament course to be slick. There was a ton of bare spots throughout the course, which is weird as we approach a PGA event at this venue. If I was a golf digest rater, I certainly wouldn't have the course in the top 60. I have played over a dozen top 100 public courses, and this course is probably one of the weakest presentations I have seen. Its worth playing I suppose, but I would not say its a must see, and I likely would not come back again.
