Length 7239 yards

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.

Still Under Construction …

Booked for second Christmas in a row hoping to show the wife a beautiful clubhouse and grounds. Was greeted with a construction site in disarray. No “clubhouse” and grill closed on Christmas (slightly understandable) but the sheer amount of unfinished homes and grounds made it feel like I was still playing in my buddies back yard. Course layout is fun. Wish for the ugliness the least they could have done is not charged $35 for a rider that wasn’t paying.

Don't believe the bad reviews

I booked and then read the reviews--lots of bad ones. I almost cancelled but decided to go anyhow.

I'm VERY happy that I did go. I have no idea what people are complaining about. The layout and natural environment are amazing. Yes--no clubhouse--a trailer (nice trailer for that matter) and the course is not 'perfect'--but it is all in very good shape. People also complained about the staff. Again--they were all very nice to me and my group.

I highly recommend this course.

Course needs work

It's early in the season so much of my comments about the course condition may improve. There were a number of areas marked GUR and more that should have been. The fairways contained a number of brown spots. The greens were in good condition.

Not as good as I heard.

Interesting layout, but for a first time player, it was often difficult to know where to hit. course condition was not as good as expected, with quite a few bare spots in the fairways.

Still temporary and under construction

Used to be a beautiful course, but the construction that started and then has come to a standstill has left the course with some issues. Greens were in good shape, fairways were muddy. Was not worth the money.

Will play it again

Course is challenging. Pace of play was good. Had numerous groups in front and behind us and played in just over 4 hours. Some spots on fairways were rough on front nine, but overall in good shape. Greens were fantastic.
