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.

Overpriced for what you get

It was cart path only. Not mentioned when made tee time. Front nine was a sloppy mess. Pace was slow Back nine a little better. MAY be acceptable in a few years

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.

Gorgeous course

Fantastic layout of the holes and nestled up against the mountain range. Stunning views and challenging golf. 100% will be back and would consider buying into the development once it starts up again.

Troublesome right now.

November 7 2024. They have not been able to get the new seed to take , particularly on the front 9. This was due to the heat in October. Based on these conditions, they should not be charging full price. It's not whether you can charge, but should you and the answer is absolutely not.

I would avoid this course for another 3-4 weeks.

Silver Rock First

Was moderately disappointed with my first visit to Silver Rock. Fairways were in pretty bad shape, greens were OK, but had issues as well. No Clubhouse. Staff was great, but it's a 5 minute drive to the Driving range, 10 min drive to the clubhouse after the round and all kinds of construction going on, yet no one is working??

Very Strange place!

Beautiful Course

We always like playing this course. For the time of year, the course was in pretty good shape. The fairways were a little spotty, but should be in good shape by the winter playing season. Green were moderate in speed. I like a little faster, but once again, it was summer season and courses in Palm Springs can suffer a little bit. Staff was great. The complex around the course that was supposed to be built is at a standstill. The small grill (with seating) at the course is nice with very good food (standard fare). We will play there again.

I'm sure this course use to be nice...

Summer rates were nice but the course was in worse condition than expected. Additionally, the builder of a bunch of houses on the course ran out of money several years ago and the half finished houses are an eyesore. Lastly, the proshop is in a temporary structure while the hotels are being built. In summary, you can tell this use to be a very nice course but in it's current shape, I would not recommend, even with the discounted summer rates.

Heard good things.

I realize travelling to golf in Palm Springs in August is a crap shoot due to maintenance but Silver Rock seemed to be in a state of disarray. The housing development surrounding the course apparently ran out of money and it was somewhat of a ghost town surrounding the course. There is no current clubhouse other than some shacks and portable structures. The course layout is great although conditions were less than desirable. Long dirt paths to find tee boxes. I would wait until this project is completed or repaired to golf there again.
