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.

Great track

This course is in great shape and a bit cooler in temperature than other courses as it is right near a natural aquifer. It has a fairly forgiving layout and does favour longer hitters. People are great and the greens are true. I do not think I had a bad lie the entire round. Some development going on around the course but no real noise issues.

Will play here many more times on many more visits.

Wild back 9

Quite something this course. Lots of spectacular holes. Nice layout until you get to the back 9. Feels like they just slammed the last 9 holes in limited space. The finishing hole was disappointing. A couple of very unfair fairways with literally no go landing spot.

Great course , but wait to play until construction is done

The construction and inconvenience it caused really took away from the experience. Shortage of golf carts and having to swap them out was a headache as well.

Diamond in the Rough

Silver Rock is an excellent course that will be great when the construction around it is complete. The front nine was a real pleasure to play but the back nine was very quirky and has been redesigned for waterways to pass through it. The back alternated between three par 3 and three par 5s. One par 3 is very long (>200yds) with all carry over water. The last hole is a drivable par 4. Overall it was a fun course but the back was way less enjoyable than the front. Would love to try it again when the construction is complete.

Christmas Eve SilverRock

The course was in excellent shape and the staff very friendly and helpful. I went to the Grill afterwards but it was closed. A gentlemen was just finished cleaning up and he was most gracious by making sure I was taken care of. He really went out of his way to make sure I had what I needed. So nice and for sure will have me coming back for more golf. Enjoyed the course very much with true greens, well manicured fairways and an interesting layout to challenge your approach game. Loved it.

Front 9 is amazing. I don't know what the heck happened to the planning (refirb) of the back. There are some really goofy holes. 1 fairway on the back is totally unplayable. Can't recall which hole. I wouldn't recommend this over other top courses....but it has potential. It's incredible how they jammed in that back 9. There are some dangerous where people are hitting into as you back track to the next hole.
