PGA West, Greg Norman Course

Played this course on an UnderPar coupon for two players with a free replay. The course is very fair with mostly ample fairways however the desert scrub does come into play on a few narrow holes. A good number of lakes and well conditioned bunkers. The Bermuda greens were pure but a bit too slow but that was expected as they were mowed a bit high for the August heat. The layout was challenging and due to the need for damper fairways, it was best to play one tee up as the course played long. The staff got us out quickly for our replay round and then also allowed us to play a third time for 54 holes for the whole day. Our twosome averaged 3 hours for each round. I really enjoyed this course when compared to PGA West Stadium (fun but too hard) and the Jack Nicklaus public course (greens too plateau'd)

This was a beautiful course and fun to play. Unfortunately we played just after overseeding so the greens were very slow and the fairways were beat up. Otherwise we had a great time and would play it again if there so many courses in the area.

Played as one of our courses on the Desert Links golf package offered through the Waldorf Astoria Resorts at La Quinta,Ca.The whole area is just a great golfing experience,but this time of year if you do not do well in heat, stay away, as temps are triple digets!!1
