Soboba Springs Golf Course was founded in 2004 when the Luiseno Indians purchased the property. It had long been a dream of the tribal leaders to own this golf course, which borders their reservation. The tribe's leaders hired Cary Bickler, a disciple of the course's original designer, Desmond Muirhead, to update the layout and pave the way for it to once again be one of southern California's premier golfing destinations. The renovation included the addition of 25 new bunkers, a lengthening of the back tees and shortening of the forward tees by almost 1,000 yards to make it more approachable for the less experienced player. The Augusta-white sand that fills Soboba Springs' bunkers provides a stunning contrast to the lush greens. Water also comes into play throughout the golf course in the form of meandering streams and cascading waterfalls.

Slow pace of Play

I have played this course dozens of times and Like the course . The last 3-4 times we played it the Pace was terrible. 4:45 was the quickest we played and most rounds were over 5 hours!! They have no marshall and no one seems to care about the slow play. If you have all the time in the world then go for it. I won't waste my time driving there anymore, It is a very long day!!!

Perfect Day

Check-in/ Proshop staff were excellent and got the day off to a great start. Complementary bucket of range balls— nice touch.

Couldn’t have played on a better conditioned course from tee to the green. The greens had been top dressed two weeks earlier and were in the process of healing. Give them a little more time to be ready. All in all a perfect day.

Poor experience

Golfnow is offering teetimes the golf course is not honoring. There is no communication from either party to the customer until you show up to check in. The pro shop advised they have told golfnow no tee times available but yet still being sold. Just a horrible experience

Nice course!

Our second visit to Soboba. A nice layout in good condition. Greens were very soft and receptive. Could be a little faster.

Pace of play was great - 3h45m

Pro shop staff very friendly and welcoming.

Disappointing

Great layout, but in terrible condition - sporadic fairway grass, greens lacking with dead spots and lack of consistent grass. Sand in bunkers was terrible. Overall maintenance is severely lacking.

Seemed like we had the course to ourselves!

It was a very warm day, but there was very few people on the course. It seemed like we had the course to ourselves. I have seen this place in better shape, but it was not bad considering how hot it has been. The greens were in good shape, and the fairways were not too bad. There were a few dry spots, but overall not bad....especially when we did not have to wait on a single shot. Great day at Soboba.

One of my favorites

Soboba Springs GC has hosted many professional events and it’s extremely well-maintained. Friendly staff, challenging layout, excellent conditions and even a beverage cart out on an uncrowded day.

Only negative is that the Maze Bar and Grill is only open Thursday-Sunday.
