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.

courses is still in great condition
only thing i don't like is driving . but golf courses is always good condition
Very nice course
So boba was a very nice course and a great find. The course is in excellent condition. Water is on many holes, very scenic too.
Beautiful scenery
Attractive golf course. Some fairways have a tight lie area for your 2nd shot. Very green fairways. The greens rolled consistent. I'm looking to play it again.
Great course, awesome value!
The course is in great condition! It always is! You can not beat what you get for the price you pay. I have 3 courses within 5 miles of my house and none of them compare and are more expensive! I will gladly drive the extra 25 miles to play at soboba! Golf courses are getting too expensive these days but Soboba does it right!
nicely designed course
One of the better courses in the Inland Empire. Every hole brought a different set of challenges. Had to be on the game or your positioning to make the green was difficult. First time at this course, but will be back and would definitely recommend.
Excellent course - challenging and worth the drive.
A bit off the beaten path but a must play nonetheless. Greens in excellent condition. Fairways typically just as nice, were a bit dried out and in need of overseeding in several places. Most likely due to the heat and possibly water restrictions. Excellent staff, friendly and professional. Soboba tribe took what used to be more of a dog track and turned it into a hidden gem. Will definitely play again!
Utterly Disappointed
This course used to be a Web.com tour stop. It's only 2 years removed. It was hardly in any type of good shape. There are tons of patchy dead spots throughout the course. A lot of them in the middle of the fairway (which should be g.u.r.). Tee boxes were a mess. The bunkers were hit and miss, some were perfect some were soaked with tons of water. The greens were the best thing about the course. They were very receptive and rolled very true. I was very disappointed overall with the course. The facilities were amazing too.
Course is a good value for the money
Overall the course reminds me of a good muni course more than a country club. I will say the locker rooms are extremely nice. The course was in good shape considering it is July and for 30.00 bucks on GolfNow.com I'd surely play it again. The greens are very receptive and shots hold well. You can score well on this course, I made 4 birdies on the front 9 and one was nearly a hole in one. If I'm in the area I'd play it again.
golfing on a holiday
Great course awesome fairways , sand traps are great, green's are great rolls true. Everyone staff member friendly But the course marshals can work on his professionalism very rude when talking to golfers.
GREAT COURSE GREAT PRICE...JUST GREAT!
This is one of the best courses in the area! I traveled 40 miles to play here. And with golfnow's great price!!! #justgreateverything! #imjustsaying!
OOOOOH ya... AND DONT FORGET THE TRI TIP TACOS! During happy hour you get 3for $6.50!
GREAT COURSE
Had a wonderful time at the course. Definitely will play there again.
Soboba Springs and Lunch at The Maze
The golf course and lunch waam and s excellent. The bison sandwich was superior. The greens were rolling fast and true. We enjoyed the round that started at 7:12 and we finished at 11:00am
Class & Excellence!!!
An out of nowhere gem of a golf course, in collaboratioon w/ golfnow price deal this is what you call a superb place to check how far you play the game of golf.will test your skills level.lived far away fr course but always try play it 2 or 3 times a year.its worth the drive to play this reasonable and excellent course!
Best Value anywhere
I don't write many of these. In general people who read reviews want to hear something negative or they don't believe the review. Here's the negative - the fairways are drying out a bit and could get worse for the summer- water is scarce n expensive.
The course water is recycled and not pretty
The good -
Clubhouse and facilities are first class
The staff is first class
The greens roll true and hold well ( I played around tournament time though)
The food is great
The layout is great
The practice areas are good
The price is unbeatable for experience
I'll make the drive hands down
Top Notch
Can't say enough about this place,We had not been since the upgrade in 2006. Everything 5 star from us visit the happy hr after your round if playing late,great food and drink.Course in great shape,lots of bunkers with pristine sand,and a little water that found a couple of my balls. Still had a great time and with GN will be back as it is a fab deal.Keep up the great work you guys are doing.
Great Track
As my partner said - "I liked every hole." I agree, each hole is well designed, good work by Desmond Muirhead. Pace of play was not a factor, we teed off at noon on a Monday our 3some saw no one in front and no one behind us over the three hour and thirty minute round. Good flat tee boxes, fairways in good shape. The greens and the areas around the greens are in excellent condition. Sand traps very well maintained. I highly recommend this track.
Soboba springs
From the pro shop to the starter and the ranger, the staff was less than professional. Will not be back.
Soboba Springs
Soboba Springs is a well designed and maintained course. The greens were aerated 3 weeks ago and are nearly back to prime condition. The fairways were good with a few dry spots due to the drought and hot weather. Bunkers were firm and consistent with pebble free white sand. The pace of play was good and we were able to complete our round in under 3 1/2 hours. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall this is a very nice course and a pleasure to play.
Great Course!
Two of us played on Friday morning around 7:00. Course was in great shape! Only issue we had was that the greens were not consistent. Played in about 4 hours although it felt like we played quicker. A very fun course for all types of players. Hard enough from the back tees for the low handicapper and easy enough for those playing up front. All in all it was a good day on a great course! Will be back soon!
Nicest course in the IE
This course is one of the best course in the entire inland empire, comparable to most of the private and high end courses in the Desert. Greens were a little slow as they were punched about two weeks before. Noticed a numerous dry spots in the fairways and some soggy spots (drainage or over water issues?). Overall the course was a pleasure to play.
Staff is always fantastic and beverage cart availability was better than any other course I've played in the last year... ProShop, snack bar, and lounge staff extremely friendly and attentive, private course feel at a public facility.
