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.

New holes complete

The course is in great shape and all the new holes are finished. The facilities are tip top and fairways plush. The greens are not that fast and could be cut shorter.

Course was packed

I believe this is the first time I’ve played Soboba since the hotel and casino was built. The course was packed with foursomes. It was a long day, but I’m glad to see busy golf courses for a change. To bad singles couldn’t get a bypass around such days, or scheduled on slower days.

The course was absolutely beautiful and worthy to be called a resort golf course.

This could be a great track - the layout is good but the greens keep staff are not sensitive to players hitting and putting - often riding into your shot path - the pro shop staff was arrogant and unprofessional - there was no starter - and no course marshal - the group in front of us drove up almost onto the green - drove on the fairway on a par three - the group behind us was inebriated

The course has lots of potential but I would not go back

Course ingood shape/pace of play not good

Played 8 a.m. , course was in good shape, fairways mainly good with some tight lies, greens not as fast as usual but smooth. Played this course many times and it is a challenge.

Pace of play was a real downer, began waiting on a group of very slow players , they let a group of 3 play through but would not let our group of 3 through. It was wide open in front of them as we began to wait of every shot for hole 8 on. Tortured by seeing the group they let play thru get farther and farther ahead. Thinking they were in the men's club and so was the threesome they let play thru. Glad the slowpokes had a great pace of play for their group but held up the rest of the course.

Will make sure to play at 7 a.m. or before next time as this course is worth the money .

Nice Course good for all golfers

The course was in good shape some of the fairways need some work grass was a bit thin the ball did not sit up well. Greens and tee boxes were in great shape. There was a lack of direction from the starter as the persons that I was paired with whom I did not know were not around so the starter asked me to go find them on the range...no...I went to the first tee box and played with a random single that was there. No ranger on the course, play was very slow.
