The Country Club at Soboba Springs
About
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.

Should've just closed back 9 during construction.
Been enjoying Soboba for several years now but will not be returning until construction of the casino is complete.The temporary course is an absolute joke. They should've just closed down the back 9 and made it a 9 hole course until the end of construction. Instead ,the entire course is a mess. They reconfigured (screwed up) the original front 9 so that they can squeeze 4 more holes for a total of 13 holes into the the original front 9. There are now only 5 holes where the back 9 used to be. The weekend rate of $45 is way too high for what they are offering. I'm sure after the construction of the casino is complete, they will once again make it a great course. Until then, I will not return or recommend this course to anyone.
great value
the only negative is the construction of their new casino right next to the golf course
Nice
Course is a nice layout, a little easy, but great for the average golfer. Greens were sprayed the day we got there, Not punched yet, spots of bad grass/weed. Overall not well maintained for high caliber, but the price was norm for the upkeep. Fairways, same spots of weeds all over, not consistent grass. Doesn't appear they now often as it was hairy and they were mowing while we were there(lots of clippings everywhere). Overall, a great value for the cost. Used to be a higher caliber course that they played the mini tour on.
Great course
Beautiful course, no crowds, very reasonable green fees. Will be back soon!
What happened?
This course was beautiful at one time but not no more. A lot of the tee boxes are uneven and growing other types of grasses. Fairways are the same. Building a casino and hotel that runs into the 13th and 14th holes. Hope u fix your course up when you get done with construction but not in good shape right now. Will not make the drive til after next October and hopefully you have improved your course. Don't be a Links at Sumerly. Pls.
Under construction
The course is always maintained well. 4 holes under construction. Two of the holes now par 3s on the front from par 4 and 5. Should be discounted until finished. Will be outstanding when the casino is finished. Also drained the water and lots of bugs flying around you.
Construction
Too much construction outside the course and on inside,changing holes
Fun Course
Fun course. Played a combo of black and blue tees. Greens were a little rough at times. Fairways for the most part were in good conditions. Few dry spots, but that's normal for this time of year. The sand traps actually had good soft sand. All and all great place to play. Never did see the cart girl though.
The Country Club at Soboba course
Hidden gem. Friendly staff and helpful.. Great time on the course. Conditions are very good considering recent heat wave. Greens were a bit fast but well care for. There is some construction on back nine were one hole is being re-designed. Other than that, enjoyable round. Restaurant/clubhouse beautiful building with great food and drinks.
Resort style excellent condition Course
paid $18 of GOLFNOW & probably the best value for money i ever had. Beautiful condition all round & a great place to play. My only issue personally it was a little bland lay out wise but that being said thats part of being a resort style course. Definitely worth playing & would highly recommend. Tremendous staff & good food also. Will return
Summer conditions
It's tough to criticize golf facilities when not in season, so take that into consideration when reading this.
First, the staff was great. They were friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. The check in process was easy and much appreciated.
The course layout was wonderful. The course has several yardages, which can test golfers at any level.
The only issue i can see that we can hold the facility accountable for is many of the bunkers are below standard. There's either very little sand or the existing sand has hardened into unplayable conditions. I quickly realized how many bunkers there were, so perhaps off season maintenance is the challenge. Besides that, the greens were very consistent, fairways and rough areas rewarded and punished me accordingly, so overall this was a great experience! Thank you. We'll be back.
Great golf location
This is a immaculate golf course. The staff was very friendly and willing to help. I wish I could play here every week
Fun but noisy
The course was in decent enough shape and fun but challenging for the both of us.The construction going on next to the course was loud and made concentrating difficult,it was just that loud.But my wife and I enjoyed it anyway until we were about to hit our approach shots to the18th green and wondered where the flag was,someone had laid the flag down on the green and my problem was that no one from the golf shop or the restaurant/bar noticed.usually upset players do that if they had a problem with players on the course but the course was wide open there was no waiting to teeoff on any holes nor was there errant shots at anyone.
Great Deal
I went out as a single and joined up with another 3-some. Pace of play was great, but we kept getting pushed by the group behind us. We played in less than 4 hours, but still felt rushed at times. The course was in great shape and all 18 holes were open (even though construction was still going on). Love the Hot Deals!
Nobody told me
I was so excited to get this course for the hot deal we got it at. The only problem I had was when we got there the back 9 was closed due to maintenance so we played the front 9 twice. For my first time being there I was really bummed since I was not told or aware of when purchased. It was a suprise for the lady and felt like I got hosed. Beautiful course and staff is fantastic. Just wanna play the back 9 haha. Can you help
9 Holes only played same 9 twice!!!
I was not told about course only being 9 holes. Not happy!!! Including my golf my friends!!! This was do to new construction on hotel being built on golf property!!!
