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.

Outstanding value and beautiful manicured course.

Beautiful course. Excellent value and condition. We've played this course every year for the past 5 years and it is one of our favorites. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. They got us out earlier which was great.

Would play there everyday if I could afford it.

That's the way you want to play a golf course. Beautiful fairways, fast, true greens, bunkers with beautiful sand. The course is a great test of golf and well maintained. It's a pleasure to play

While it is about an hour away from the Palm Springs area, it is well worth the trip and the price compensates

First time I have played this course. I am a high handcap player but the course was pretty kind to me and my sometimes errant shots. The course is in a beautiful setting with trees and ponds that only interfere with poor shots. There are no houses that come into play either. The staff were friendly. Carts have a good GPS system so I didn't really need my Range Finder. I will definitely go back.

From tee to green, course is in great shape.

Greens rolling about a 10, some fungus on a few greens but not within 40 feet of holes. Waited a couple of holes but pace of play was still 4 hours for a Saturday, can't beat that! Fairways are nice and tight, plenty of roll to be had on drives and the rough is not very long right now. Good time to play this course.

Friendly, great pace, super greens--waterfowl problem

Great course with a BIG waterfowl problem leaving droppings everywhere you walked including the greens. That bird problem really takes away what would be a great experience.

Now I have to go clean my shoes !

Never got to play. AM frost delayed tee times by 2 hours.

We went to check in and they were delaying tee times by 2 hours. AM frost was the reason. We bought 2 bags of balls to hit at the driving range which was small and crowded. Poor grass conditions and range was brown. We gave up on the wait after putting on a crowded green. we will never go back again as they had poor customer service as well.

Great course for the price.

Had never played the course before, but went with my son when he came to visit. He's a big hitter, I'm not. He's a straight hitter, I'm not. The course was challenging but not unforgiving. We both had a great time. Will definitely come back again.

Very picturesque scenery and good conditions makes for a great round of golf.

Course difficulty can change significantly based upon the tee boxes selected. Great test, beautiful scenery and reasonable rates makes for a highly recommended outing.

Beautiful Condition

Play was a little slow due to cart path only because of recent overseeding. I'm sure in a few more weeks it will be awesome

Great value

Soboba is always in great shaoe in the early summer after the pro tour event but the summer beats it up a bit. Still, the resort is first class, staff is great, green fees low and the variety of holes is super

Outstanding

I played the last day before closing for 3 weeks for the annual reseeding, so it wasn't in great shape, but will be in a month. This is a beautiful, mature course with plenty of water features. Really outstanding. The rate through GolfNow was outstanding!

Entire course was dead!

Other than the greens which were not in great shape, the entire course was dead. It was like hitting off of dirt the entire day. I will not be returning to this course.
