Cimarron's Boulder course is desert in location, but almost links in feel. It's hard to imagine even the most beer-cart-fueled hacker thinking they're in Scotland. Considering the bright sun, the striking San Jacinto Mountains and all. But …

"We've had many golfers tell us it reminds them of the British Open," head pro Jason Janke said. "For what we have in the desert, this is probably the closest course to that."

At 6,782 yards from the back tees, Cimarron challenges with length and accuracy. It's wise to keep your ball in the fairway here or you'll get some up-close desert views. Still with three par 4s over 450 yards and two par 5s over 560 yards, bombing away with your driver is anything but completely ignored.

Greens are not good

This course has gone thru some significant damage in the last few years, so from that standpoint the fairways and rough are in good shape. The conditions of the greens are another story. They are inconsistent, are not in good shape and are very bumpy. I would not recommend this course unless you are able to secure a price below their regular rates.

No carts, club stolen

Arrived 1 hour before tee time, no carts, maybe 15 people waiting. . Walk to range (long walk), walk back, still no carts. Get cart 4 minutes prior to time. 4th hole, homeless camp, under the bridge, woman comes and steals brand new driver from cart, runs off into desert. Wind was blowing 40 mph. Beer after was good though.

Nice course with great pace of play. Course was in good shape other than the traps which were quite hard probably due to winds.

Stolen club and not enough carts

Waited an hour to get a cart. Hoofed to and from range, longish walk. No water for cleaning clubs at range. On 4th hole where there is a homeless camp under bridge, one of group had their driver stolen. Water stations on course were empty. Not a great experience. Course itself is ok.

Pace of play poor

Need Marshall to improve pace of play. Took 5 hrs to play due to groups not keeping up, searching for golf balls in ponds and ignoring waiting groups behind them. Called clubhouse and were told no one could come out and get the group holding up play to move up in vacate the course. Ruins enjoyment of the game when no one cares to fix the problem. Cost of tee times has gone up every year with less care as to how those paying these rates are treated

5 hour rounds

If you want to start 15 to 20 minutes after your tee time and take 5 hours to play after you start, this place is for you. We played there 5 times this year January to March 2024, was always 15 plus minutes behind. The first 3,rounds took 4:40 the last 2 took 5 hours. The only reason we went back the last time was because of a hot deal, plus I want to give them a last chance before I never play there again. No luck 5 hours.

Was told by the pro shop that they considered the course to be a resort course and 5 hours is not unusual for a resort course. So if you like 4:45 to 5:00 hour rounds, this place is for you.

Need more Carts!

They don’t have enough carts. We had to wait 45 minutes at the bag drop for our cart. Which made us start 20 minutes past our time tee. We were able to catch up with the group in front of us, but then waited at every tee box.

With that said the course was nice and we would play it again. It would be good if they got more carts.
