Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Great course, sloooow play.
We teed off 20 minutes late because the first tee was so backed up. Then waited on every shot throughout the rest of the afternoon. Fun course, well kept too! It just was so slow and no marshalls around to keep things going.
Slooooowwwww
Staff:
The pro shop staff were extremely unfriendly and h helpful. When asked where the range was I was told to “go outside and I’ll see it”. I didn’t. It was my first time there and the range is not near the Pro shop.
The starter was extremely rude. We were putting right next to our tee 5 minutes before our tee time when he began yelling our names. We walked over to him and he said we are supposed to be in our carts and ready to off 5 minutes before hand. Mind you, the group ahead of us were all taking 2-3 off the tee and we’re still on the tee box.
The grounds crew doesn’t care if you’re putting, approaching. or driving. The worst one was on hold 5 where the man mowing the grass literally mowed the fringe of the green we were putting on blowing grass right into us, causing us both to have an allergy attack.
Pace of play:
Plan for a 5-6 hour round. There’s no marshall to keep people moving and they well over-sell their tee times. I knew it was busy, but when we finally finished our seemingly never ending round there was no less than 50 people waiting on a cart so they could play.
Conditions:
The course looks phenomenal. Very green. Nice fairways and nice greens. Greens are slow, but not soft. Bunkers are not sand. It’s essentially just gravel with large rocks all throughout it and the lips are either dead or dying.
Amenities:
The range was like hitting off of the second cut and the balls were horribly overused. No bathrooms on the course - just port-o-potty’s. Yep. In the desert. And they absolutely smell as bad you imagine.
All in all, I paid $140 to play here and was highly dissatisfied the course is worth about $40. I played the far superior Escena Golf Club the day before for the same price.
Save your money and time. Find a better course.

Slow
It seems like the people that play there have no shame with regard to slow play. It’s not uncommon to see a five some or a six some out there. The wind was bad that day, but that’s no one’s fault. The course layout and condition were excellent, staff was cool and I’ve never use the restaurant or facilities, but they seem proper. You see the refreshment cart on the course, but never a Marshall urging things along.

Good Value
I was looking to just pick up an extra round when in the Palm Sprints area and found this course. It was a typical middle of the road course that played nicely. The price for the round was about right. It got pretty windy, which made some holes very long and others much shorter. the course layout meant I was either going directly into the wind or directly downwind. There were only a few cross wind holes. I liked it and would play it again. Not the best course, but definitely not the worst and it priced just about right.
