Daniel Wexler commented as follows in the Palm Springs Area Golf Guide: “Also opening in 1986 was the Nicklaus Tournament course, another big (if occasionally overcooked) facility which would surely garner more attention were it not situated immediately adjacent to the Stadium.
Water is actually used somewhat sparingly here (it meaningfully affects only six holes) though with the exception of dry entries like the 549-yard 4th, the 364-yard split-fairway 6th and the 528-yard 11th, it is the primary factor on most of the layout’s more memorable tests.”
