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.

Worst Experience All Year

Over the past 9 months, I have played 44 different courses in Southern California. SilverRock far and away was the worst experience of any course I have played. Funny because it was also the most expensive green fee I have paid in the past year. Very disorganized at the start, when you drive up to a temporary shack of a clubhouse. I knew there was construction going in but it really did alter the experience. They sent my group off before my tee time so I had to meet them on the first fairway. As a single, they dont let you take your own cart so I was forced to ride with a random. Guy did not stop talking about his golf game the whole round, sending veiled remarks and acted like he was the god of the course because he was a "member" of this public course. Mind you he shot 88. All of this could have been avoided, if you pay $150 for a round at least let me take my own cart, ridiculous. Let's talk amentities or lack thereof. Very limited water selection, cart girl didn't even want to give me water and gave me one bottle to "fill up". Classy stuff. Course has a bankrupted feel and the service matches that. I cant believe they are trying to build some hotels here, sounds like a nightmare. Course conditions were solid, but the greens were very patchy - not great. Layout is a mess, and its not surprising the tour left this course at the AMEX. Yeah there are some scenic holes but don't be fooled. This is a muni charging exorbitant prices. La Quinta Mountain course was a far better experience. Lots of better options in the desert than this place.

Top tier course

This course was picturesque with fairways that were like carpets and excellent fast greens. There is still considerable development that is ongoing around the course. Thus, the resort remains a work in progress but the course is fantastic. The course was busy and as my wife and I were paired with another couple the total playing time was 4 hrs and 20 minutes from a 12:00 start.

Pleasant Surprise

We booked a tee-time at SilverRock without doing any research on the course because all the other local courses were full. When we showed up to a trailer that serves as the pro shop, we thought we may have made a mistake. But, we had a great day on the golf course at SilverRock. The course was in good condition and it's an interesting layout. The starter got us out in front of a large group and even though the course was full the pace of play was good for the first 6 holes, then slowed down. Overall, a great golf experience for the price and we will be back.

Second time playing here

This course is nothing short of amazing!

All the reviews that talk about construction and clubhouse being a trailer. Forget about it. You’re not playing on the construction or in the clubhouse.

The course is awesome! It’s very challenging. Bunkers are a fluffy sand which is great! If you don’t want to be around construction then don’t go. I golf once a week and I go everywhere. I enjoyed this course! I drove an hour to get here.
