Hemet Golf Club

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 3.5/5 — Hemet Golf Club Review

My buddies and I were looking for a local Inland Empire course that was affordable, fun, and offered a few new challenges. We’ve played everything from high-end PGA-level courses to budget-friendly munis—both in and out of state—so we figured Hemet Golf Club would be a good way to wrap up our holiday vacation.

Overall, the course was decent but definitely not the most well-maintained. Some fairways were in rough shape, and a few bunkers were basically dirt or packed solid. One bunker was literally as hard as rock—but honestly, it gave us a good laugh, and we still managed to get the ball out clean.

The staff was friendly, even though we didn’t interact with them much. The golf carts were a highlight: GPS to the pin, Bluetooth, and a clean course overview. Super convenient and made the round more enjoyable.

My biggest complaint is the pace of play. It took us about five hours to finish the round. There wasn’t a ranger around to keep things moving, but to everyone’s credit, players were respectful and patient. It was busy—like sardines lined up on every hole—but the vibes stayed positive.

Restroom situation? Just porta-johns, but that doesn’t bother me. I work construction—I’ve seen worse.

Would I come back? Yeah, absolutely—especially if we can snag a tee time under $50. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun, it’s local, and it’s worth another round.

The good: The greens are pretty good.

The cons: Everything else about the course is bad.

Very fun course. Some challenging holes with well maintained greens, fairways and tee boxes. Carts have digital scoring which is great.

For the money, this course is all I was hoping for. Pace was 4 hrs with a noon tee time. Greens were in excellent shape and the fairways were ok. Good value for the money. Gent in the clubhouse was awesome, sorry I didn’t get his name.

I played at twilight and the pace of play was perfect, the price was unbelievable. I had fun on the course, it is well maintained with enough hazards to make it interesting but not overly challenging. I look forward to playing again.

The cause has some challenging and some reasonable easy holes. But all of them are very enjoyable if you don't get caught at windy day.

Great staff! Did everything to accommodate needs as requested. Nice greens with, so so fairways. Nice layout, affordable. With the exception of inconsistency in the fairways it was a really nice day. Kudos to the staff in the Pro Shop.

Rough was not forgiving at all. Lost 4 ball in the open rough. Wow! Overall golf day was great. Weather, pace, course, staff. All on point. Thanks Scott for the chat.

Course is fun and challenging. Overall, course needs some care.

Greens are good but some fairways have poor grass maintenance. Grass too long!. Some sand traps need TLC!

It was super hot when we teed off, but there was a slight breeze which made it tolerable. Unfortunately, a fire started adjacent to the course, and Cal Fire was getting water from the lake on the course between #8 & #17.

take any of the holes & draw an imaginary circle from the 30 yards out of the center & around. i would debate with anyone. that around the greens here is some of the best around.

the rest of the course is hit or miss. the range gives some indication of the grass on the course.

some fairways not so great. some fairways passable. same with the tee boxes. there's one fairway in the back with flash flood damage. if you hit long enough that area is not in play.

there are way more positives than negatives. carts are decent with the course guide. just watch out on the way to hole on some holes.

layout is entertaining. and many great features. have to have all the shots kind of course.

Course was in great condition. The value is awesome.. fun track and highly recommended

I live on this course so I see it's conditions daily. I've played it over 60 times in the last 6 years. It's been my "go to" course, NOT because I live on it, but because of the value/cost per round when compared to the other courses in the Inland Empire and Palm Springs areas. (BTW, I've played over 50 different courses in these areas in the last 6 years so I have pretty good sampling to compare it to.)

Even though I've liked the over all cost/value, I've had a DISLIKE for the course conditions, especially in the last couple years. SUDDENLY, over the last few months there has been a GREAT DEALL OF IMPROVEMENT! The greens have always been better than most in the area for under $50 but the fairways and tee boxes have been mostly poor and the roughs have been not only poor but neglected. NOW, the fairways are coming back to green. The sand traps are getting back to sand (not hard dirt) and the even the roughs are getting watered and mowed like I haven't seen since I've live here!!! WAY TO GO HEMET GOLF CLUB. THANK YOU!

Course was in great condition except 1 fairway played in under 4 hours. GPS on carts would recommend to anyone

I booked today’s round through GolfNow, and this course was the worst I’ve ever experienced. The place was almost empty, with plenty of carts available, yet they insisted I share a cart with a complete stranger. Even when I refused, all I got back was “No, no, no.” They told me this was because I booked through GolfNow, and that if I had booked directly, it wouldn’t have been a problem. Basically, it felt like they were saying, “You booked cheap, so you deserve a bad experience.”

To make matters worse, I ended up constantly being passed by single players riding alone in their own carts. The whole thing was ridiculous and frustrating from start to finish. This is definitely not a course you should ever book through GolfNow.
