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

I have golfed 3 different courses while here in Palm Springs and this course by far was the worst. First it’s over priced and secondly you check in at a trailer. There are buildings/houses along the course that have been in a pre-construction phase for over 5 years. I am told the city La Quinta owns the course, which is another frustrating fact, city owned yet high rates, sad!☹️ Lastly, zero onsite amenities. If I could ask for a complete refund, I would. Not happy!!

Course seems to have been fitted into areas where no homes or building are intended.

Target golf course with quirkey turns and distances.

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Sand traps abound the course. None that I saw or drove past had 'sand'. All were raked dirt.

Worst course and worst value

Abandoned houses all around the place, construction fences along many spots. Landscapers mowing and blowing on 6 of the front 9 holes, diddnt stop working unless we stopped and stared at them.

No clubhouse, it’s a construction trailer. You can’t drive the cart to your car to drop your clubs and the cart guys just hollered “ you have to come backwards in reverse only!” To get back out of the main drive, as they don’t have a sign or say that you can’t drive to the parking, which is along side the cart tent. Kind of an ugly course, an irrrigation canal runs through the place, it’s

Concrete lines. Driving range is a long way and takes a lot of time so be early to drive back and forth. Just a mess, never coming back! Try PGA!

SilverRock rules

What a wonderful day. The round started great beginning with the staff. From the bag drop to the check-in to the starter. Everyone was very helpful with providing directions as the starting hole and driving range is a bit of a way from the temporary clubhouse. The course was very nice but a few of the greens had some bald spots. Most were very nice and pretty quick. We will definitely come back to this course in the future.

Love this course, but it has declined since last year

Love this challenging course, but there were more bare strips on the fairways, some damaged greens, and the bunkers were officially terrible. Has definitely declined since I played it a year ago.

I enjoyed the course. For the hardness of the greens, I believe the green speeds were a little too high. Overall it was very enjoyable.

Silverrock horrible place

Complete scam. Charged me $398 because couple paired with us had an a emergency and had to cancel. Guess Silverrock needed the cash more. Never will return and will tell all 500 good members back home to avoid. Unacceptable service in a town with so many options. Be better Silverrock. How about a bit of empathy.

Over Priced

The ranger asked us twice to speed up with no one behind us. On number nine green he told us the group ahead was on 11. We got to 11 and waited for them on 3 holes so the ranger was full of crap. Front and back 9 s are very different with very tightly cut fairways on front but longer and more plush on back. Greens were just so so. I’m probably letting the ranger affect my opinion of the course but we won’t be back. No real facilities to speak of as pro shop is in a trailer with the range a half mile away. Unsightly unfinished homes around parts of the course make it all look like a demolition zone versus a resort.

Not bad

Course was in great shape. Staff are very friendly. Excellent practice facility. Overall the actual golf holes are pretty bland and some are just head scratchers. From what I’ve heard the course used to be much better before the construction. Some nice mountain views. Pace of play was pretty bad at 4:40.
