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.

challeming
course is in great shape , will play it again beautifull course very senic
Great Course, Excellent Staff
The Country Club at Soboba Springs is the finest golf course in the area I live in. There are several courses that at are close by, but Soboba is practically my favorite. The course condition is excellent and the staff and facilities are exceptional. You get a country club atmosphere with public golf savings.
Nice course, great for the cost
First time playing this course, the greens were fast but makeable. Not sure why, but there were a lot of divots on the greens that weren't repaired. Course otherwise was in great condition and a real value for the price. I'll definitely go back.
This course was in excellent shape. I had a great time playing it
Although we had to wait 2 1/2 hrs, it was worth the wait. Greens were excellent. I can't wait to come back to play it again.
Great Course, Great People
This is an upgrade from last time. The tee shop guy was great.
The starter was also great. There was 2 -some ahead of us. They were running late and added 2 more. So the starter let us play first off for the day, 6:48 am. We finished the round in under 3 hours. This is such a great course and it's manicured to each tee to green. It is really far for us, 54 miles, but the golf is so great that its worth it! Thank you Soboba Springs for a great morning!
Great design
In very good shape considering the heavy rains of last week. The "Coots" remain to be a problem as their Waste continues to be everywhere.
Course Management needs to seriously address this issue and have them removed from the course.
Soboba Springs
First time playing the course. The staff was excellent. The clubhouse facilities, the bar / dinning and menu selection were excellent. The course was in great shape despite the damp conditions prior to my play. The greens were soft from the moisture, but with a good pace and rolled true. The mountains surrounding the course provided a pleasurable backdrop to the round. The bunkers were well maintained with plenty of sand inside of them to escape. A good course to walk. No GPS System on the carts. Fairways are yardage marked, but used a SkyCaddie to gain access to the distance / yardage. Plenty of trees to frame the fairways and course.
Great Improvements!
I had played this course 10 years ago before the clubhouse was built. It had a nice layout but nothing that special. Now every hole is manicured beautifully!
The groundkeepers are A+ workers. Each hole was great and improved. There was a tournament that day and we got out before the tourney. It was so fun. I can't wait to get back there.
Wow, just wow
furst time playing here and I will be back for sure! Course was in amazing shape, greens were speedy and challenging! Granted it's all the way out in the middle of no where but don't let that stop you!
Favorite new course
I live in the PS area ... but it's worth the 45 minute drive. Love the course, be careful about which tees you play from. The rough was difficult, the greens very receptive. And the layout interesting and challenging. A great value for noon tee time. Can't wait to get back.
Nice Course
My guest and I really enjoyed the courses good conditions for a very small price. The pace of play was quite slow, but could be
Contributed to the great weather and cheap price. Quite a bit of water on the course which makes tee shots a bit more challenging. The greens were much too soft for my liking and a little on the slow side. All in all, a good value, good conditions and some very scenic holes.
Good round of golf
Better than average course. Well maintained. Sand in traps was very hard/compacted.
great price
course overall was in excellent shape. fairways were brown in most places and very hard. ball runs a long ways if you keep it in the short grass. we are in a drought so conditions are very understandable. staff was ok. staff in the all the eateries were great, friendly, helpful, etc.. will be back for another round soon.
Great Day
We had a great outing at The Country Club at Soboba. The staff, from the pro shop, starter, cart man, to the restaurant staff were friendly and professional. The course was in very good shape even though they were aerating the fairways getting ready for Fall. The workers on the course were respectful of the golfers and the work progressed with minimal disruption. The large greens were in excellent condition. Two minor suggestions: I wish the carts had their own GPS installed and, on a few holes, directional flags visible from the tee would help golfers unfamiliar with the course. The restaurant staff and snack bar personnel were friendly and attentive and lunch was excellent. A great finishing touch to a terrific day of golf at Soboba.
very good layout
Love this course it was in very good condition, staff was excellent dinning is great, I recommend this course to everyone.
Very friendly staff
Soboba is a hidden gem in the inland empire. great rates, condition and staff. The food in the restaurant is also great. Don't miss out on their Sunday brunch.
Soboba springs
This is a great place plAyed for 20 dollars. The staff is very friendly; the playing time was at a very nice pace , fair ways and greens are in great shape considering the heat in Hemet. There is real sand in bunkers , can't wait to play again thanks to golf now I can play twice a week at soboba over all had a great time
Stellar course
Just as the rating states. I'd give it a five if the greens were a tad slower and a bit soft to my liking, staff provided exceptional service, great food and ambiance. Highly recommend.
Beautiful course
First time playing this course.... After a layoff from golf for several years, this course is one of the best maintained courses in the area. Reasonable weekend rates, and a friendly staff. The course is in beautiful shape. The snack cart girl was extremely friendly and in the right places at the right time. Great Job Soboba!!
I will be back
Once it cools off a bit, I will play there again. Good challenge but scenic.
