About
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.

Course conditions
Fairways were sopping wet and it was 109 outside!!! Every second Nike green had massive dead spots making them in puttable
Dead areas in fairway……
This is Silverrock !!!!!! Not Indio municipal
All downhill
Course conditions is way below average. Greens are very patchy and bumpy.
Thank you for the review and comments regarding your round of golf at SilverRock. During this time of year, golf courses in the Coachella Valley go through a process called transition. This transition is the process where the cool season grass (over seeded) begins to fade out as the temperatures reach into the 100’s. As the cool season grass fades, the Bermuda grass (warm season base grass) remerges. This process of warm season grass filling in where the cool season grass fades away is called transition. At SilverRock, this transition usually begins in June and typically (depending upon weather conditions) by the end of August, the course will have completely transitioned. We recognize the turf conditions may not be prime during this time and as a result green fee rates are reduced significantly. It's important to note, the golf course is not diseased nor neglected, this is a normal process and occurs every summer. Again, thank you for taking to time to provide feedback and we hope to see you back at the Rock!

Probably would be better once all construction is done . Greens are absolutely garbage . I mean you might as well pick up once on. Marshall pushes you which is good and bad. He needs to relax a bit imo. Follows groups around like a hawk pointing at his watch. When your a single with 3 senor citizens and they are moving as well as you expect them to the marshall should relax a tad.
Anyways . The day was not good as the greens are virtually not playable .

Do Not Play-15 of 18 greens are borderline unplayable, fairways not good.
What an utter disappointment. This course is in such bad shape, they should be embarrassed to have golfers playing on it, let alone charging $75. That is outright taking advantage of people. Have more respect for your course and your patrons. We almost stopped at nine and requested our money back. I wish we had. The fairways were not in great shape and way over watered. I understand they need to water in this heat, but the need to lift , clean and place and sometimes plug? The greens were a joke. Almost every green has areas with no grass as well as large areas with patches of replacement grass. We visit the desert every year and usually play this course every time. After today, it’s officially out of the rotation.
I was in Desert for a week played Classic Club on sunday (now closed for summer) for $50, Desert Willow on Monday and Thursday for $66. And Shadow RIdge On Tuesday for $69, all early morning tee times. To pay $75 for this dog track is unbelievable, such a ripoff. The Staff was extremely friendly and the GM Randy is a good guy and though there is a grumpy older dude in the pro shop, the staff is one nice thing about this course. I also like the layout but the previously detail terrible condition of course overshadow the positives.

Unfortunately right now silver Rock is not in great condition. the fairways are thin and wet and the greens are patchy and not worth putting on. we paid $70 to play this course and although that may seem like a deal later on the same day we played the Greg Norman course for $50 which was in EXCELLENT condition, and cheaper.

Silver Rock
Great course but greens need a little work. Greens were hard and rough but other than that, the course is absolutely beautiful
Hello, thanks so much for your review. We appreciate your feedback, and we hope to see you again soon at SilverRock Resort.
Great course but not right now….
The condition of the greens was beyond bad. Burned out, bare, muddy, inconsistent, pick an adjective describing an embarrassing overall condition. Additionally, sections of fairway that were totally muddy, soggy or otherwise unplayable interspersed with dried out and dead sections was just a head-scratcher. I get the fact that there’s a lot of construction going on around the course but it’s no excuse for letting the course go like this. I really miss the old SilverRock and the mountain goats. Hopefully both will return.

Must Play in La Quinta!
This is an absolutely stunning course in great condition! The thing that put it over the top was the staff. Over and above with every interaction! I can’t wait to see it after the construction is done. Tough course! I was happy to be paired with some regulars who gave me much needed tips. 16th hole is just beautiful and then the 17th comes in and humbles you. Have wanted to play this course for a while and it did not disappoint! Fantastic round…
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at SilverRock Resort.
I love this course. It was in the worst condition I have ever seen. Very disappointing since this is one of my favorite courses. Once you get it back up to exceptable standards it's a must play.
Hi, thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at SilverRock Resort!
Staff not very friendly
Booked two tee times for 6 people. One person wasnt able to make and the staff lost it, got attitude from the starting marshall because we only had five players and we were 3 mins late to the tee box, even tho i had paid for the first two tee times. Our fifth player had to skip the first hole because they said we were going to slow the hole day down. Not once did we anyone up, but we still had the Marshall approach us for playing with 5 people. Not because we had players waiting on us to finish but because another guest tried to play 5 players the week before and they were told no so they didnt think it was fair we had 5. You would think after paying over $600 to play they could be a little more accommodating, i would understand them being this way if we were hold players up or acting like idiots but we werent.
We apologize for the negative experience you had during your visit to our golf course. We understand that the miscommunication regarding the number of players and the delayed tee time caused inconvenience. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our customer service. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Not What I Expected
I’ve always heard of SilverRock as a beautiful golf course with amazing views. That might have been the case before. When I booked, I received a warning about construction and the noise that may occur. But I wasn’t made aware that the greens had just been aerated until I checked in at the pro shop. I’ve played courses that have just aerated with no problems but this course had burnt patches on the fairways and most of the greens were badly burnt leaving them patchy and bumpy. Disappointed by the course maintenance, hopefully it improves because it doesn’t look like that construction is ending anytime soon.

Terrible greens, Don’t Bother Putting
The greens were totally unacceptable. The problem was not due to slow recovery from areation . It is months of no maintenance and no
Watering. Skip this course at all costs.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our business. We apologize for the poor quality of the greens and for any negative experience you may have had as a result. We will work to address the issues you raised and improve our maintenance and watering practices.
I miss the Big Horns Sheep
Fun run of golf. The course is adding houses and a new clubhouse. I understand the value from the owner but I think it hurts the character of the course. The desert rams and the lack of building was a big draw for this course. Now that they have fenced off the course, the rams cannot get to the course and the addition of building is a negative for me.
Now to the golf. The course was in decent conditions and the pace of play was good. It got very windy on the back 9 but the course was still playable. Stay out of the native areas and you will enjoy the course.
