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.

General comments
Many tee boxes are uneven and difficult to find a flat spot. Real lack of restroom facilities on the course. Beverage cart only came around once and do not say it was the last round. I thought the pace could be improved by allowing carts on the first hole and eliminating the long walks from cart parking areas to greens.

Disappointed
Have played this course in the past & ithas been wonderful…when we played recently, start time was delayed 30 minutes …staerter was having difficulties keeping golfers on schedule, & had to wait 10-15 min at each tee for previous golfers to finish.
Due to the late start time we were unable to finish game, in fact only got to the 13th hole before darkness forced us off the course.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Beautiful course!
Pace of play was slow but it was not quite in-season so I imagine not many other courses were open. Very well-maintained course, tough greens, absolutely breathtaking views from every hole! I didn’t get any birdies but I don’t think I can blame that on the course…. All in all I would definitely play here again and highly recommend!
Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Cimarron Golf Club - Boulder Course thanks you!
Nice Course
The course is very forgiving with pretty mountain views. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. I’m not used to paying for range balls at a nice course but everything else was great.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cimarron Golf Resort- Boulder Course.
Course was in great shape, but could not adjust to the slowness of the greens. Teed off at 7:44 with very little waiting. Finished around 11:30 and the first tee was overrun with groups waiting to tee off. GOLF EARLY! Could have played for $16 cheaper if I had booked thru the course. Check your prices before booking.
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.

It was a fun day. The course was in good shape but the greens were slow and didn’t look great this early in the season

Vacation golf
Friendly staff and clubhouse was nice. Course was backed up due to reopening after reseeding and new starter so we started 30 min late. Got paired up with two nice guys and had a fun round. Fairways were in great shape and greens were just a bit slow but rolled true. Carts were allowed on course which wad appreciated. Good scores are attainable. Had a great round. Will definitely play next time we are in Palm Desert.

Good value, nice round
The staff was great, helping get us out earlier than planned. We arrived early, asking to get out much sooner and the starter was great, getting us out on the course immediately. The course was in very good condition, as it just opened two days ago. With next to no cement cart paths, it was great not having that cart path restriction.
The typical public course where customers don’t know why there is a rake in a bunker, but overall, a good time. We ate in the restaurant afterwards and the food was good, priced fairly.
I will return again

Great look
Course just recently reopened after seeding.
Very lush and Green.
Greens looked great but were extremely slow. A couple more cuts and they should be great.

Slow pace
Course is in great shape after overseed, but pace of play was very slow seemed like tee off times where not adequately spaced.

First day open
We played on the first open day after oversees. Great condition. Greens were slow, but rolled as they were read.

Slow round
The pace of play was extremely slow, our tee time was 13:12 and we didn't finish until 18:20, in almost dark conditions.
There were no carts available until just before tee time, so difficult to get to the practice facilities before play.
We were not informed that we did not return to the clubhouse halfway, but at least they had water stations in place on the course.
Clubhouse lunch was good.
