Length 7239 yards
Slope 139
Rating 75.0

SilverRock Resort is the city of La Quinta's first municipal golf course. This Arnold Palmer Classic Course is the home course of the Bob Hope Classic. At 7,239 yards, it is the longest course in Palm Springs and one of the longest courses on the PGA Tour. SilverRock sits right at the base of the Santa Rosa and Coral Mountains, which provide a stunning backdrop for every hole. It is closer to the mountains than any other public golf course in the area. The rugged landscape provides rocky outcroppings and massive native bunkers to contend with throughout the course. Beautiful water features also come into play on several holes. The SilverRock layout is challenging but the widths of the fairways are fair and playable and the holes are diverse enough to appeal to a range of different skill levels.

Go somewhere else

Front nine in horrible shape. Cart path only for the first nine holes, and paid close to $200. Like a ghost town around the course. I get you have to do maintenance but price accordingly. Been there a few times but never again. Too many other great options out there. Even a local we played with said he’s never seen the course that bad. Friendly staff and food was good. It was maybe, maybe worth $25. 18th hole is a horrible design and a bad way to end the round.

Not worth the money

This was a very expensive course that in no way was worth the price. I don’t mind paying a lot for a great round, but this was not the case. As of now, it is basically a big construction site during many holes on the course. There are many homes and other buildings being built. Online it said price was for full cart access, but then when I got there, half the course was cart path only. You will get a better price AND a much better course at places like classic club or any of the PGA west courses. Don’t waste your time here.

Poor shape

For the price I would go elsewhere. I have played this course several times in the past but would not come back. I did get a deal on Golf Now but would have been happier playing another course. This was disappointing.

After an exhaustive reading of the rules by the starter we were off

Front 9 conditions were not great lots of areas under repair on fairways plus reseeding.

Back 9 was amazing once the front is in better shape great course.

The greens were perfect all around

It was a great day with good pace of play, bar girls was great and came by regularly. Love Palm Springs golf !!

Marshals pick on women golfers

We used to love playing this course until this last time. Fairways were in horrible shape due to extreme heat into fall, which is outside of the control of the Pro Shop, but prices could have been reduced to accommodate. The part that really bothered was this was the second time we had a marshal that kept harassing my wife and my friends' wives accusing them of slow play when they weren't playing slow at all. I had a few words with the marshal (same marshal that did it last year) and he apologized, but it put it damper on the round.

Don’t waste your money/time

The front 9 was redesigned to accommodate a failed condo development. Ruined the original Arnold Palmer design. Course condition was ROUGH. Pace was SLOW. Would not recommend.

Big Disappointment

Had golfed this course several years ago and loved it. Since then they have redesigned the course to accommodate a hotel/condo development. This is now a big eyesore as work appears to have stalled on many unfinished buildings bordered by unsightly fencing. The redesign hurt the layout and flow of the course considerably. It is not the beautiful course it used to be.

Overseeding failed terribly on the front 9. Fairways were very thin, lots of muddy patches. One fairway looked like it had been spread with gravel, trying something new they said. The course should be closed until conditions get better. They are still charging $190, way to much for its condition. I won't be back.

Pretty Course

Not worth the money. Cart path only was devastating as we were not told ahead of time. My wife wears a brace on her left knee and had problems walking as a result of the cart path only ruling. Front nine is in poor condition. We were very disappointed.

Open too soon

So we get there and they tell us it’s cartpath only I don’t remember seeing this on GolfNow either did the other three people that I played with. Now everything I rated would probably be much higher needed about 3 to 4 more weeks to fill in the grass. The first nine holes were in real bad shape holes 10 through 12 were not good either. But the last five holes were in great shape because the shade from the mountains kept them from being too hot. My recommendation is not this course until it removes the car path only. I’m really disappointed Golf Now for not warning us.

Course should not be open

The over seeding process on the front 9 was a total failure and is full of dirt and mud patches. I can’t understand why they opened prematurely.

Sliver Rock is a very good public course when it’s in good shape.

Front 9 fairways are in poor shape

We were warned in advance that the front nine fairways had not overseeded well (and they were certainly right about that), but were not offered a discount. Fortunately, all of the greens and the back 9 were in nice shape. We especially like the back 9. I'd pass on playing this course for another month (until mid-December) unless you get a great rate. When it's in good shape, it's a great layout.
