Rating 72.0

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.

Pace was not great today

There were 2 foursomes in front of us that were terribly slow. Hence we didn’t finish before dark. Would have thought the Marshall would have handled this. Otherwise it was a fun day.

Course in decent shape following the flood issues in August

Greens and surround fine but some fairways are thin or no grass a at all in several spots

Pace of play surprisingly slow . Just over 4 1/2 hours round

Difficult to loose a ball so why so slow.

Marshall no existent

Course in very rough condition

Very disappointing to see what happened after the heavy rain. Cart paths mostly gone and lots of bare patches. The greens were as slow as shag carpets. Can’t fight Mother Nature but they still charge full price for 18. May have to wait 2 years before it gets better.

Nice course, but in rough shape

Hard to tell fairways from rough. Very beaten up. The track took a hit from the rains in August and have not recovered. Not a peaceful place as the freeways run next to it.

Homeless camp near the freeway so we were warned to keep an eye on our things in the cart.

We played the track in early 2020 and went back for a second time. Sadly, until the course is in better shape we will find other options.

Lovely Day

We had a good time playing as the day was perfect. It was unnerving to encounter the people living under the bridge on Ramon who came right up to us to check us out. I held onto my pocketbook as it appeared they were looking for something. I would have like a heads up on that one.

Recovering slowly

Cimerron is A favorite however, the course is taking a beating since the hurricane, and although it’s remarkable how far it’s come back, it is not all the way back the greens are very slow, and the fairways are in rough shape

Staff bordered on rude. No one to check you in or help with a cart. Started 15 minutes late and waited every hole. At one point there were four groups waiting to tee off on the back nine. No marshal on the course to help pick up the pace of play. Tee time before 2 pm and finished in the dark. Flags were pulled on the last two holes before we got there.

After being closed for a month due to overseeing I would have expected the course to be in better shape. Bare spots on the fairways and greens. Sand caked on the cart paths. GPS in the cart wasn’t working and we needed to go back to the barn to switch carts.

I won’t be playing here again.
