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.

Nov 16 round
Great day at Soboba. Front 9 was fast - 2 hours. Back nine a bit slower at 2:40. Some slow groups and no Marshall’s on course. Overall great conditions. Greens are soft and hold well. They were quite fast compared to other courses played in the Valley. Fairways and bunkers excellent
Soboba
As a recent relocatee to the area, I had heard of the track at Soboba as being one that should be placed on my to do list. I have played Morongo and Oak Valley which I do throughly enjoy. However Soboba is now my new favorite of all I have played so far. The challenge and layout of the course and the conditions after overseeding are top notch. I would play this course everyday if I could! I also appreciated being able to walk the course since so many course locally of that caliber; either you are not allowed to walk or walking is not feasible. 5 STAR n my opiinion and I have played Most of the high-end courses in the state of Az (Private and Public) for the last 18 years, before my relocation to SoCal, so that says a lot in my book. The ONLY challenge I habe encountered the first time I played on a Friday and we were started on the back 9, and when finished the front 9 was backed up with 4 groups so played the back 9 again.(Mens group?). The following Monday I had a chance to play again and this ti.e started on the front 9, however upon approaching the back 9 the Mens group had to jump in to finish up their last 2-3 holes, which again caused a great delay. Both rounds I had played were after 12 so unsure if that is routine. It would have been appreciated to have been told that when checking in or when making the teetime so that the decision to play on those particular days , would have been mine to make, BEFOREHAND. In the future ,for later in the day times ,I will call and ask first. This situation by no means implies I do not HIGHLY appreciate /recommend this course and look forward to playing here as much as my wallet will allow!
Deathly slow pace of play
There were two 4-somes in front of us that knew each other and they played ridiculously slow beginning on the first hole. They were way behind with a few empty holes in front of them. There were several reasons for this, mainly taking FOREVER to look for their own and each others drives. This is course marshall issue and he was nowhere to be found until we contacted the pro shop. He came out, was nice, listened to the problem, then did nothing to remedy it. As a result, my son and I had a miserable day of golf. This ruined everything for us.
Great value for the price
Very nice course. Great views, well groomed, nice staff. We'd go back in a heartbeat.
Golf
BEAUTIFUL golf course. New layout is impressive and this course is always in premium condition. I would play this course weekly if it were closer to my home.
Over Priced at the Moment
The course did not discount the price as they have every fairway cut down for re-seeding preparation. They should have charged 50% in my opinion. Very disappointing to show up to the course and get charged full price. In addition I asked for two fees to be compensated as golfers decided not to play and nothing was done.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, JP. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Country Club at Soboba Springs, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Great Course .!!!
Luckily I got to play all 18 holes before Golf course closes and will be open until November ...Gardner's will be doing there magic to keeping nice fairways and greens...Will be back ...!!
Pleasantly Surprised @ Improved Soboba Golf
I just recently booked my tee time through golfnow for just myself at Soboba at the new Soboba Golf Club it seemed. I had played here 4-5 yrs ago 5-6 times and wasn't disappointed yet not impressed. I can say with 100% confidence, that they have made SIGNIFIGANT overall efforts to enhance the entire day of golf from start to finish. The carts GPS system is the best I've used at any course in San Diego & Riverside thus far. The cart itself rivals Oak Quarry, which says enough. Not the longest course but its target golf, fluffy bunkers littered all over, 11 holes with water, and natural masssive trees make this course fun for all.
Nice but not a $59 course.
Course is very flat and uses many bunkers to add difficulty. Found too many spots on fairway where I was a pw away and hitting off hard pan. Hard to get loft with no grass below ball. Overall it's a decent course but having played all the courses around, its not wirth $59 weekday rate. $40-$45 would make it a worthwhile course. Keep in mind it's also probably a little bit if a car drive for golfers to get there too.
Great
The new design is great, the condition is great unfortunately some of us can not afford to golf there anymore due to the rate increases after the redesign
