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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Rude Marshall

Was harassed by the Marshal nearly the entire round to speed up. I was paired with a random group and we finished in 3 hours and 40 minutes. I’m a 6 handicap and prefer to play fast. No one was playing slow and the guy kept telling us to pick it up every few holes. I spoke to a manager and said he’d call me back after inquiring with his staff. He did not. I called again and left a message for him and he still never called me back. I took a hint and decided I wouldn’t go back. After unsubscribing to emails that I never signed up for, I continue to get emails so they forced this negative review on themselves. The course is nice but what an awful experience.

Fantastic day out!

We were in town from Michigan and couldn't pass up the opportunity for a little desert golfing! We had a great time.. we were warned ahead of time about the condition of the greens being end of season and recent maintenence and all.. did.not.care. Still a fantastic day to be out hitting some balls! Everyone was helpful, nice and went above and beyond. 10/10 would visit again.

Great public course thats as nice as PGA West for half the cost!

What a gem! Found this course looking for something different to play in La Quinta and I'm glad I went! Absolutely beautiful course, very well maintained, and the staff are top notch! I really felt like I was at a resort course and not a public course. They are building up the surrounding areas around the course so you do see a lot of that BUT who cares the course was beautiful, greens were FAST, and the cost didn't break the bank! AND if you know a local (which I don't, but played with one) they get in at $40 bucks!!! Thats insane for this course!

Go try it, you won't regret it!

Nice course. Dynamic pricing not good.

Course was nice. A lot of building going on. It’s gonna be just another course with houses all around. Instead of a great view. They use “Dynamic pricing”. Which is a nice way of saying if we have enough people we are just going to charge as much as we can get. I’d play it now before all the buildings go up…
