About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 6111 yards
Slope 122
Rating 69.4

This course sits at the intersection of two of the most famous roads in Palm Springs: Bob Hope Drive and Frank Sinatra Drive. Yet, it's one of the better kept secrets in the golf scene. Rancho Mirage Country Club in Ranch Mirage is a semi-private club available to outside play through stay & play packages so it does not do a lot of publicity.

There are 10 lakes, tons of palm trees and the snow-capped San Jacinto Mountains to catch your eyes. The course itself is largely flat and inviting for the average hacker. It measures only 6,111 yards from the back tees. But its 122-slope rating is a little deceivingly given how small many of the greens are. It still takes good shots to post a good number at Rancho Mirage.

There are also lighted tennis courts at the complex, allowing golfers to make a day & night of it, if they wish.

Challenging par 70 with good mix of long and short holes.

This is a good test at par 70, good mix of short birdie holes and long, challenging par 4's. Good condition, not too busy, good pace of play and they allow walking! Greens were good but a little on the slow side, not sure why as they looked healthy, just not cut as short as most courses. A good value at less than $70.

Very Good Conditions, Great Value

Course in very nice condition - pleanty of grass and greens roll well. Configuration is a bit odd - several short par 3's, and several very long par 4's. Mature trees line most holes, houses do not crowd the course, and mountain views frame many holes. Sand in play often, water on several holes, some elevated greens make run-ups difficult, and deceiving breaks make putting a challenge. Pace was very good for a Saturday afternoon, cost to play via GolfNow made this place a great value.

Not bad

This was a fun course. It's hard to write a really good review on this course however after playing other high end courses. Lots of trees and fun doglegs causing you to shape shots. That was definitely a nice change of pace for me.

esthétique du parcours

le parcours est bien situé, l'accueil est chaleureux et le superviser n'est pas avare de conseils.
le parcours n'est pas très long (6100 yards des boules "blanches françaises") mais technique.
les greens étaient lents, contrairement à de nombreux golfs aux USA

Don't let 6,100 yards fool you

Played this course last year and was not impressed. It was too early in the season. But this year it was great. Only course that's not cart path only right now. Everything is well grown in and manicured. Greens just a tad slow but grown in and they said they are starting to shave them down. Some may think the course is funky with 70 and 90 yard par 3's, 4 par 4's over 450 and 2 short par 5's totaling 6,100 par 70 but I think it very challenging when you have to lay up on some par 4's but you can blast it on par 5's for a birdy.
All in all a great course. Very friendly staff and enjoyable. You've got to put it on your list.

Slow for Desert

Wanted to play Rancho Mirage CC for the name. Liked the fact I was able to walk the course and found the staff very friendly. In fact they were too accommodating. One foursome arrived late for their tee time and the staff squeezed them on anyway slowing the course for the rest of us. Then the two groups in front of us were painfully slow and the staff were ineffective in speeding them up. How can you possibly come off a Par 4 and catch up to a four some on the tee of a par 5 when the par 5 fairway and green are totally open?! Sometimes the marshal just has to say pick it up and move on so everyone else can finish in daylight!

Course itself was OK with some scenic spots, although nowhere near the condition of other courses in the area. I would play other courses (for even a bit more money) before returning here.

Enjoyable course for even a begining player

Beautiful fairway views of the mountains. A nice balance of challenging holes and makeable par 3s. This course is well maintained in a nice, well established community and was a lot of fun to play.
