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.

The course is out in the desert

The course is very nice but placed out in the desert with nothing to stop the wind. And the wind was brutal that day and took away a lot of the enjoyment. I have played the course before in good weather conditions and really enjoyed it. Hence why I keep coming back to it.

Overall great experience.

Enjoyed the course layout. The starter was one of the best on any course I have ever played. Very welcoming, friendly, and relayed some course details. Had lunch beforehand at the course and the food and wait staff were very good even with a very busy crowd of people. Would recommend this course and I would welcome coming back. Greens were very good and quick while course conditions were also very good.

Try anywhere else

I played Cimarron on the recommendation someone I met playing a day before. As soon as I arrived I could tell the course was not like the others I’ve played in the desert over the past month. Not the same contrast of sand and lush fairways. Looked like any neighborhood course. Mostly straight holes with minor elevations.

We started at 2:00 PM and knew we would have to rush to get all 18 in. The starter said we should be able to go to 6:00 PM. To our surprise, the staff started pulling flag sticks at 5:15 and the sprinklers were turned on at 5:25 drenching the greens. It was still light and could easily finish our round but had to go in. Very disappointed… Wouldn’t have returned under the best experience but this sealed the deal!

Great day on the course

Boulder course is in very good condition. Tee boxes, fairways all well kept. Nice to have a ball that you can get under on a lush green grass on the fairway.

Greens are in great shape, good speed and lines are true.

Great day on a very good facility

Great views of the valley and mountains

Great course. My only concerns were that on a few holes the cart parking area was about 50 yd in front of the hole. Also there should be signage or a note on the score card to help find the restrooms that are behind the driving range.

Nice course and facility

First time here. Friendly staff, course is in good shape. Nice practice green and range. Pretty straightforward layout. Greens were a bit bumpy but rolled pretty true. Would be nice to see the drinks cart on each 9, or to have been given water at the start of the round. Nice outdoor and indoor area for drinks and food after round. I’d come back.

Frost delay

We were 45 minutes delayed. Not sure why as overnight temperatures never went below freezing.

I like this course

We play here a couple of times when we're in town. We're from MN so this is a good "tune-up" course when you haven't played for months. It's links style so there are no trees to contend with. There's water, sand and the wash to contend with but the fairways are generous. Greens are in wonderful shape. We usually play around 12:00 noon and you need to wait for carts to be returned from the morning rounds. Our tee time was 10 minutes delayed. The driving range is probably 200 yards from the clubhouse so you'll have probably have to grab a few clubs and walk to it. (hopefully, someone else in your group will stay behind when a cart becomes available). Our pace of play was pretty good at 4:25. Carts need to be returned by 5:15 so you will probably need a tee time before 1:00 pm if you plan on playing 18 holes.
