Description

The Nicklaus Private Course at PGA West is a desert-meets-links layout with elevated tee boxes, deep bunkers, and strategic shaping. It's more forgiving than Palmer but still a formidable test. The Nicklaus signature experience shines throughout.

A course with plenty of sand traps (bunkers) with wavely slopes to block the visibility on most of the holes. It’s a beautiful landscape and an interesting course indeed. Crews are friendly and helpful. Parking is in the front but feel free to drop off to the crews and walk in free to check in the pro shop. A bar and restaurant inside next to the shop. Driving range is right next to the first hole, and nearby the “cart return” - complimentary if you play.

Amazing upkeep. Shorter course but bulls eye golf. A lot of narrow fairways, deep bunkers, and tucked away greens, definitely one of the more challenging courses.

One of his earlier one's he designed. One hard golf course. Greens are not in good shape. Great club house and the food is wonderful. Very nice people.

This course is an absolute gem. I've played there several times over the last 10 years. A difficult course, especially the greens and the angles. The course is always well maintained. The practice facility is shared amongst 3 courses but is big enough to accommodate everyone. Has a nice large pitching and putting area as well. First time I played I would have liked more directional signage, but I guess being a private course, it's not as big a deal.

Had the opportunity of a lifetime to play these two courses as many rounds as I wanted to for free. I also arrived to find a brand new set of golf clubs before playing? Why? The residents support and pay for 128 combat veteran Marines to come out and play for a day, and live the life of a millionaire at the club. I will never forget this day and will ALWAYS be so grateful for the gentlemen who I golfed with and everyone who made it possible. Semper Fidelis.
