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.

Unorganized Soboba Staff

We had a 12:30 tee time and were told we have to tee off on 10 because of a tournament. Got to the 10th tee and there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. Then we were told we had to wait until the last 3 foursomes in the tournament finished before we could tee off. The starter left the 10th tee and we figured out we could go to the first tee to start quicker. Nobody came out to tell us. We teed off almost an hour late and couldn't finish our round. Their customer service was awful.

Always a delight!

Exceptional course conditions for this time of year (following reseeding) and value (thanks to Golf Now hot deal). Beautiful course, challenging layout and water hazards, slick greens and great eat amenities. Afternoon tee time and few golfers provided a 3 hr round so well worth the drive from Coachella Valley. If you need to get your gambling fix, the Casino is right next door.

Good Value at HotDeal price

Good scenery. Some of the best and fluffy bunkers in the area.

Tee Boxes were good. Fairway and rough were a little shaken, but maybe because it’s late summer.

Greens rolled fair and were in good shape except for one late on the back 9.

Good deal at HotDeal price but I would’ve been disappointed had I paid the regular $89ish price.

Saboba springs

Course was nice but you did not advise me that they had punched the tees and fairways. I drove a ways to the course so a heads up next time would be good.

Soboba Review

Overall course conditions were good for summer. The fairways were good, few bare patches. Greens and bunkers were in good shape as well. The staff attitude was indifferent and distant. Regardless of the staff I would play here again.

Best course within a 25 mile radius

What a beautiful track. They have done a really first class job of reworking this old course. The tee boxes are level and in first class condition. All the fairways are in excellent condition. The bunkers are first class and the greens are in great condition, fast and very challenging. The staff is excellent. The new Yahama golf cars are beautiful and the nav systems are really hi tech.

Hidden gem

Staff in pro shop was friendly. Nice organized shop. Great golf carts with state of the art GPS and all the bells and whistles... great tee boxes, very nice fairways and great greens. What a picturesque golf course. Challenging course. Holes 13-15, in my opinion we’re the best holes of the course with water surrounding all holes. #15 was a tough hole with a great amount of bunkers. Overall a 10 for this course!!!!!

Like the redesigned holes

The new holes on the back nine are challenging, but very inviting. With increased green fees, crowds are down so pace of play is excellent. The bunkers have real sand in them throughout the course. The new hotel and casino are impressive and the Maze Stone Bar above the clubhouse is very nice.
