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.

Beautiful views of the Mountains. Greens rolled nicely, fairways were good, but there was room for improvement. A very exposed course if the wind is up.

No carts - 40 minute delay - 4 1/2 hour round

There were no carts available until the tee time. Tee time was 40 minutes late on a day with good weather (why). and the round was 4 1/2 hours to play. I believe that the tee times need to be spread out.

Very slow, very transactional

Turned greenside sprinklers on with plenty of daylight left roughly 40 min before dark. Would not recommend, would not come back

No Carts = Slow Play

I arrived at the course 20 minutes prior to my tee time and was told by the cart attendant that there were no carts available and that it would be 25 to 30 minute delay in my tee time. There were at least 30 people waiting for carts. My expectation was that with a 1:35 tee time that I had a good chance of getting in 18 holes before dark. I left after it took almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. Very poor management.

Good value for the money.

Overall a pretty good experience. Greens I'm good shape. A little slow but in good condition. Clubhouse staff good and starter was excellent. Bag drop staff is a waste of time. Move your clubs three steps from cart to drop and vice versa but no cleaning but look for tips. Didn't eat but views of the course and mountains pretty nice. Overall a good value for the price and probably a good course to open with on a golf trip.

Cimarron - value golf

Course was packed which slowed the pace to 4:30 for the round. Other than that, we had a nice time. The track is okay, everything's right in front of you, no blind shots, very few trees, a large wash that always seems to be in play (avoid that if you can). Was one of the lower priced rounds of our trip but it was worth playing.

Ok course for money

Pace was extremely slow. At one point there were 5 groups on a par 4… 3 on the hole and 2 waiting. A ranger needs to keep things moving.
