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.

Excellent course conditions, a very beautiful course, excellent fairways and nice fast greens. No waiting, great pace of play for a Saturday (4hours) . We would definitely be playing here for a long time and definitely recommend this to anyone.you will not be disappointed!

Pace of play

The course was in magnificent condition. However, the pace of play was very slow and not marshaled. There should be one or two marshals patrolling the course. The threesome in front had no regard for pace of play (we were a 4 some).

Wasted Golf Day

Things have changed at this course and not for the better. There is no greet at the bag drop. The range is terribly chewed up. The 5 hour and 10 minutes round saw no beveridge cart for 8 holes. No Marshall to get things moving and very bumpy greens. Have had two bad days at this course and won't go back.

Pretty good value for your golfing dollar offering a mixed variety of holes. Only down side are the Coots that litter the course with bird droppings.

Get rid of the waterfowl

This is not one of my favorite courses but had heard good reviews from someone . Unfortunately they looked thru different eyes than me.
I golfed with people from Palm springs and the one fellow looked at his friend and said I thought you said this course was pristine

great features

friendly staff great practice range & good pace of play , have golfed there earlier this season & pace of play was bad 5 1/2 hrs but on Wed we finished in 4hrs. had a great time . My suggestion would be to have a starter & marshal that would really help.

a challenging course with mountain views.

A challenging course for a newbie made more difficult by cool weather and rain showers. Lost several balls when I strayed from the narrow fairways and in the water hazards.
Would definitely return to play on a nice sunny warm day.
do love birds, but for what it is worth, attention is required to get rid of the excessive duck and geese droppings.

Decent course

Play was slow 4:45 minute round playing mid-week. Course was in fair shape. Greens appeared to be 2-3 different types of grass. They were blotchy (spots). I would compare this course to city courses we have in Minnesota.
