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.

Very Enjoyable Course

Hard to beat the value. I really liked the course.

It's a par 70 with only 2 par 5's but you can make up for the birdie opportunities on the par 3's. I think 2 of the par 3's are around 100 yards. It's not that long of a course but it's not that easy either. The par 4's are challenging for the most part.

No complaints. The staff was very friendly. The course was in really good shape considering it's July.

Great value but too many long par 4s

It's a par 70 because there is only one par 5 on each nine, but the total yardage is the same as a traditional layout. The result is too many long par 4s. I was hitting 3-wood for the second shot on par 4s too many times. I prefer a course where the second shots will require more variety of clubs.

Rmcc review

Course did not honor golf now's advertised price, but compromised on the going rate. Said that the advertised rate was a " mistake". First time I've encountered that on golf now. Otherwise a very pleasant play.

Fun course

You really need to pick your shots here and strategize your way through the course. I found the course to be very enjoyable and in good condition. I will be back to play again. I played in the afternoon alone so course play was as quick as I wanted it to be.

Bad attitude

The Lady in the clubhouse who checked the two of us in complained that the course wasn't going to be making any money off us. This is the first time I have experienced a bad attitude using Golf Now.
I probably will not play this course again because of her. She made me feel so bad I purchased a pair of sunglasses so she could feel they were making something- but that didn't change her attitude. Some people shouldn't work with the public.

Hard to beat their summer rates

This place is very inexpensive during the summer months. The course design is above average.
There are plenty of long par 4's on this par 70. The staff is unfriendly, there's no cooler of ice on your cart, the traps don't have much sand, and the greens are a little below average. But for the price it is one of the best deals around. I just cannot complain when I pay so little. I will go back soon.

Play where Sinatra played !

This is one of my FAVE courses, always try to play it at least once using their VERY favorable summer fees. Really get a taste of old Palm Springs, the spirits of Frank Sinatra and PhilHarris are in the locker rooms !

Rancho Mirage in Summer

The golf course is fun to play and the green fees in summer are very low. As low as $20 after 9:00am. The greens are needing some work. I rate them a 5 on a 10 point scale. Not a lot of play in summer. Probably much different with winter overseed. Fairways are quit good.

No frills golf

Drove to bag drop, nobody there to greet you. Had to carry bags down to pro shop. One person working in pro shop, she seem overwhelmed. Brought our small cooler down to ask for ice, they said no outside food or drinks permitted. It was only 110*. There was no cart service out there either. Fairways were tight, tee boxes were right up against property fences, very easy to hit houses if you stray off line.

what happened

the stairs down to the golf shop had not been swept of leaf debris for some time and this was the warning to the general maintenance of the course...leaf debris, fallen branches abounded. the greens were infected with some kind of grass fungus and RMGC must be saving money by not watering. I advised others at the pool to not waste their time here.

Great Value for the Money

Nice course. Challenging without being overpowering. Yardage a bit short so if you are like me, an average golfer who generally plays from the white tees, you may what to try playing from the blues on this one.
Only complaints, no place on the cart to easily secure an ice chest (they have them but they can't be secured to the cart) and the directions from Green to the next Tee are not very good and getting lost is a definite possibility.
All in all a good play.

Good time at a beautiful course.

We got a super summer deal.
There were very few on course.
We were allowed to go off on the other nine since there were a few ahead of us.
That made the course play in 3.5 hours for a 4 some.
Nice beautiful resort course. Greens don't have a lot of grass at this time of year but then are pretty fast. Fairways were great.
Good time at a beautiful course.

Understaffed!!!!

Course was fun to play. It was Memorial Day weekend. 107 F.
They only had One person in the golf shop who tried very hard to take care of everything. Greeter, Cashier, Starter, Cart Assignment etc...
No on course cart service.
When we made the turn we went inside to purchase a beverage, again they only had one person acting as cashier, cook, etc..
Service was horrible! We waited while two groups passed us and never got served! Very slow, incompetent, unfriendly person trying to do everything. I hold the management responsible for this lack of service.
