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.

Definitely a tough course. Lots of trouble and huge bunkers. Bring plenty of balls, will be a long day if you’re not in the fairway. Currently back 9 only and quite a few green punched but for the money can’t beat it

Allude front nine closed prior to booking completion !

As already many of us know Silver Rock is worth a visit.

We played for the third time over the years this course on our holiday visit in the valley. A lot of constructiin work going on which does not impede to enjoy the nice and challenging layout. Enjoyable greens.

However, i always find it disappointing to play the same holes twice on one day. We booked Silver Rock, and only after the reservation confirmation there was a remark at the bottom that the first nine holes were closed.

Disappointing, this should be mentioned prior to completion of the booking.

Somewhat poor communication !!

Back 9 only

I was only able to play the back nine, front nine being redone but the course was in amazing shape in june 2025. Nice desert landscaping, lots of water, desert areas. Tough but fair. Front nine ambiance will be compromised at least until they finish the construction of the houses bordering the course. Pro shop is also temporary at the moment, but the rates are fair based on all of these factors.

Only the back nine is open to play

It’s a construction zone and getting around is lengthy and difficult. You cannot get a coupon if you only play nine holes, I would not recommend playing there at this time.

Front 9 under repair

First time on this course, I really liked the layout and it was in great shape. All of the on course amenities are shut down during construction. We were disappointed that we didn't know this but, the staff on site were really great and friendly.

18 Holes NOT Open You play back nine twice

I did not see that the whole course was not open when I made the reservation

I chose to only play 9 once expecting a voucher for a future 9 holes. Nope they said golf now owns the reservation. HUH I paid for the reservation. So I overpaid for 9 holes big time.. Lots of construction and long cart rides in desert heat. Course was in good shape. No amenities. Starter in mobile home.

Be aware that 9 holes are closed

We thought we got a great deal on Silverock which is normally close to $200. But when we arrived we discovered we had to play the back twice because the front 9 is under major remodel. Would have been nice to know that in advance - no such indication from the course or GolfNow.

Don’t play here for a while

Heard it’s a great course was super excited to go play it. But with no prior warning on golf now, only the back 9 was open as they were working on the front 9. Make sure and call this place before you book a res on golf now, super unprofessional to not communicate the fact that only half of the course was open.

The front nine was in horrible condition. Grass around traps had been scalped. Little to no sand in the traps. I would have chosen to not play the course if they had communicated the conditions.

Grumpy starter

Found a good deal on golf now. I don’t remember reading the front 9 would be shut down No matter the course is still great. We needed refreshments after the first 9 and had to drive all the way back to the clubhouse for drinks. When we arrived back for the second 9. The starter started yelling at us asking we why we got out of rotation. We’ll provide drinks closer or send a drink cart out….. a simple. “Catch up to your group” as we did would have been fine.

Front 9 dead grass around ALL greens

There was notification on the website that the front nine will be going under the repair starting next week. However, there is no notification that the front nine surrounding all the bunkers was dead, dead dead dead.

We had played this course before and understood that the clubhouse was nonexistent. The housing around the course is in some sort of state of bankruptcy. However, the value for the course was definitely not there.
