Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course
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.

1/2 of the course was closed and no one let us know
Booking with Golf Now presents challenges when there is a change at the course and no one lets you know. We arrived for our tee time to find out 1/2 of the course was closed due to standing water. We would have changed our plans for the day if we had known in advance. Ended up spending 6 hours playing the back 9 twice.
Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course!
Back 9 after rain
I had booked an 18 hole round but upon arriving was notified that the front nine was partially underwater and we would only be able to play the back nine. Back 9 was in great shape and really enjoyable. The best thing they have going at Cimaron is Jeff, the plaid pants starter. Jeff Breaks down what to expect on the course with a giant grin and a lot of laughs.

Every hole is the same
Although the course is in pretty good condition, it is rather boring. Can't really tell one hole from the other. And for $100, it could have a bathroom on the course, other than Porta pottys....especially since you don't go back to the clubhouse at the turn. So many courses to chose from in this area....will not chose this one again
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Cimarron Golf Resort- Boulder Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.

lonesome
Very few golfers out slight drizzle most of the day but reasonable. Course in good condition Greens played little slower than normal.
Green fees up fair amount in Palm Springs this year. Have few friends not bringing their golf clubs, too bad,
Always golf few rounds here Enjoy the course, wide fairways nice course for intermediate golfers
Thanks so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course!
Very Good Course
Very impressed by the staff, very warm, friendly and helpful. That would be reason enough to return. Course offers scenic views of the mountains. The course itself was in overall very good condition. Tee boxes (except for 1 of them) were great, fairways in great condition and the greens good to very good. Issue on greens was that there were many unrepaired pitch marks. The greens still rolled true however. They also have a par 55 par short course which is also fantastic. Overall, I can't wait to return to the area to play both courses again!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Cimarron Golf Resort-Boulder Course.

Course was in amazing shape and super fun to play. The only downside was pacer play was a little slow.

Pitt Bulls
We played this course a few years ago but the dropdown wouldn’t let me go that far back, but I’m glad I’ve been given a chance to voice my opinion & review now.
I’ll never golf this course ever again and will never recommend it to anyone!!
We were on the 16th hole, one of the people in our group teed off and didn’t have a good shot and decided to hit another one. After they re-hit my husband and I went and picked up the first shot to return it to the other player. I got out of the cart to pick up the ball and out of a shrub came a Pitt bull, I said “hi puppy dog” the dog turned and came at me, I jumped back into the cart and my husband hit the gas, the dog was able to grab one of my pouches on my golf bag, it exploded, the dog lost interest and turned back to the shrub and another Pitt bull came out of it. Both dogs had collars on them but were running loose on a golf course!! Then a rabbit ran by and off they went after the rabbit.
When we finished our round we told the staff in the pro-shop, they were unconcerned and said they knew the dogs were out there but couldn’t do anything about them and “next time we should call 911”
Terrible attitude and as I said before we’ll never golf that course again and I’ll tell anyone who wants to listed why!!!
Great Desert Course
I come to this area almost every year. And I always without fail hit this course once or twice when I am here. I do come when it is insanely hot and I am often the only one on the course. Of course the course is a little beat up in mid July due to heat, but they do a pretty good job of keeping the important parts green. One caution, sometimes you may experience a person experiencing homelessness along to west edge or by hole #5. The don't usually bother you too much just letting you know they may be there. Also they have a golf school and sometimes you can get lessons from Steve Cahill. Look them up.
Fantastic course.
Out of the 3 courses that I played this week, Cimarron was my favorite. I was a solo player, and I was paired up with 2 locals that helped me to navigate this course. The course was in very good condition, the greens were true and the views are awesome. The wind was blowing 35 to 45 mph, it was hard to keep the ball on the green.
The staff that welcomed me and helped me were all fantastic. The price was good, it was about $75 or $80 and well worth it.
I will definitely come back.

Bare bones
Played the Boulders course . Poor condition of greens presently . A few of the fairways are patchy in areas . We have played 6 other area courses the last two weeks and this by far has poorest conditions .
Restrooms practically non existent , 2 port-a-potties
There are better options in the area .
