“Number 8 is a great par 3! With the water, the shape of the green and the pin on the left, it's an intimidating tee shot. Number 15 is a fun and interesting par 5 with the Island green and No. 18 is a good finishing hole. As with all the courses there, it is in very good shape."

“The Nicklaus Tournament course is a fun course to play, pretty straight forward on the front nine, and quite challenging on the back 9. Fun and good value overall. A nice course to play other than the Championship course."

“You'd better have really soft hands and a great short game feel. The elevated greens surface punish a lack of finesse. And you're playing through a housing development for the entire round. Conditioning was great. But the round was slow."

“Terrific course layout and fantastic conditions in the spring, fall, and winter. Fairways are plush and greens are smooth. Great public opportunity to play where the PGA Tour pros play."

“Nicklaus design, co-host of the annual PGA Tour event. After the round, the PGA West restaurant, located in the clubhouse of the Stadium and Nicklaus Tournament courses, is a great place to grab something to eat and drink."
