Overview

The public-access Nicklaus layout at PGA WEST stretches past 7,200 yards from the back tees and is known for raised, well-defended greens that put a premium on approach play and the short game. Generous landing areas reward long hitters, but bunkering and water feature throughout. It is one of the rotation courses for the PGA Tour's American Express event and is bookable by resort guests and the public.

⏰ Best times to play: Best conditions run from late fall through spring; summer afternoons regularly top 105F, so play at dawn or take twilight rates in the hot months. Courses are typically overseeded in the fall, so expect closures or temporary greens around October.
