Course Highlights
Silver Rock's back nine delivers a beautifully challenging desert layout with water features and excellent course conditions that consistently impress recent visitors. Friendly staff and a smooth pace of play make the experience well worth the fair rates.

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.

Every single fairway was either mud bound or dead spots. Many greens have fungal damage as well. Course layout was very good. They are still building out homes and the resort, and the course shows that. Go cart path only for anwhile and get fairways in shape and this course will be outstanding.

Poor Course Conditions

15 Years ago this was a great course in La Quinta when opened but continued course changes to make room for a hotel changing holes (disappointing) and now a development that the City of LaQuinta had to have is in bankruptcy…..what a mess and lesson on ruining a great course. The fairways are dirt for 40% , holes closed and cutting a par five into two holes.

poor conditions

this course has alot of potential to be a top tier course but a combination of bad fairways & lack of direction of where to go just made for a unpleasant & comfusing experience not to mention that the marshall was rude & visibly acting annoyed because i was lost while playing a round of his own.

No longer a great course

The course was my favorite to play in Palm Springs region a couple years ago but the owner ran out of money trying to develop house and the club house which have halted construction for over a year. The course conditions were bad and areas of dirt on the fairways. Need someone to buy it out and turn it around.

No mention of terrible course conditions

Normally when something is going on to affect course conditions it is listed, such as aerification alert. There was nothing listed on GolfNow to prepare or warn me for the horrible course conditions. The course costs like a resort course but was in worse condition than a bad minicipal course. The greens were ok, the fairways were terrible. They are re-doing hole 5 so split up hole 7 into a par 3 and a par 4. The staff was friendly and courteous, especially the cart guys. Pace of play was good because there were very few people there. Will not be going back.

In terrible shape

I’ve played this course many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. However currently the course is in such bad shape they really should shut it down until they can get it back to playable condition. It is so sad to see they great track to be in such bad shape.

Summer Heat

I’ve played Silver Rock dozens of times, in season and in summer. So if you can stand the heat then you’ll have a great time. Only draw back this week was we were the last to tee off for the day at 10:50am and the maintenance crew were trying to get out of there before we did. They were buzzing, cutting, watering right on our heels, it was annoying but at times comical. All in all Silver Rock won’t disappoint.

Course Marshall "I want to go home early"

The play was really slow for holes 1 to 6 and we had to wait for the previous group before we could tee off. Normal hole 7 was converted to different holes and our group became confused as to which green to play. We saw the green at 90 yards but golf cart was showing 263 yards. As we were trying to figure out the yardage the course Marshall comes up and tells us that we were causing slow play. We agree but tried to tell him it was really the group ahead of us. He rides off and we finish the hole. The next hole , I land in the sand and after hitting the ball and starting to rake the sand. Here comes the course Marshall and rudely tells us to hurry up that he would rake. I was so annoyed I picked up my ball and sat in the cart while the rest of my group putted out. We drove to the next hole where the group ahead of us is was just teeing off. We hear him tell them that there are three open holes ahead of them (10 to 12 ) to hurry up. Hello we told you we weren't the ones causing the slow play. For the reminder of the course, we had to wait for them except for one hole. The final insult after all our waiting, the course Marshall comes around and has an issue that we parked our cart on the path before the green as my husbands ball was short of the green and to hurry up as he wanted to go home early. I was so annoyed I quit playing the rest of the course . Totally frustrating experience. The fairways were in terrible shape even for summer conditions (one hole was closed which is why they had made normal hole 7 into two holes.). Greens were ok.

Course is not ghin rated. I don’t think this course should be offered on golf now unless it’s made clear that you can’t post score for handicap purpose.

Could be an amazing course.

Unfortunately, the golf course is going through a difficult time right now. The course has amazing potential, but the current condition of the fairways is why I have to give it such a low rating. Greens and tee boxes were in pretty good condition.

Course is in terrible shape

Terrible shape, when I booked it said the fairway overseeing was finished, but was not and in terrible shape. Houses around course went into bankruptcy and have been half finished for over a year. I play a lot of courses in the fest and would it play this one again.

Rough time of year

Round was cut into a par 70, front 9 par 5 and par 4 (I think holes 7 and 8) were turned into a par 3 and par 4. Greens were in bad condition as are most this time of year. Value made up for it, As always great asthetics at Silver Rocm.

Course is bad

Course is in rough shape. The 5th hole is completely closed and they just divided the next hole into a par 4 and par3. Greens were slow and ugly. I guess it's the off-season but wasn't expecting that.

Silver Rock is Dead!!!!!

This is not the Silver Rock that I played a few years ago. GolfNow is a joke for selling these tee times and not disclosing hole closures and poor conditions. This is two in a row. I’m done with this app.

Removing from the rotation

My buddies and I used to enjoy this course but the lack of amenities, poor condition of the course and pace of play have significantly impacted its value. We will not be returning unless these issues are improved.

Removing from the rotation

My buddies and I used to love SilverRock but the poor condition, lack of amenities and value for what we paid has caused us to remove it from our regular rotation. I would not recommend for all the reasons stated above.
