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.

This course is a gem that sits amongst a larges scale residential development that went bankrupt in its early stages as the surrounding have a bit of a dystopian feel. There are partially completed homes and what appear to be clubhouse facilities. There aren’t any permanent facilities, but rather an odd collection of temporary trailers and other structures that serve the purpose however unattractive. All this having been said, the course is great and the range and practice greens are in good shape too.

Under construction

Not ready for prime time due to construction. Beautiful venue but the course has huge unforgiving bunkers, blind shots and questionable course layout on several holes. Did see Big Horn Sheep in the nearby mountains. I wouldn’t run to be the first in line for this course

Great course but no clubhouse?

Yup just an office trailer in the parking lot. But a few courses I played this week were like that this week. Course and facilities were top notch.

Never had an issue...

Great course for my family and friends, only 15 minutes from our house in PGA West. Played in early October, so understanding that the course was going to be in "OK" shape, due to getting ready for the transitional time of year and the forthcoming overseeding. The course was in great shape, with the greens running around 9-10 on the meter. Staff was always friendly, especially Jose, Clayton and the rest of the cart staff.

Nice Course

The course is in very nice shape, except for some of the greens. I am not sure if it part of the process of changing out grass but they were very dry. Not all were that way but several were. Course is not long but lots of trouble if you are not hitting the ball straight.

Beautiful but Challenging

The course was in great shape. A few greens are healing from what appears to be a recent punch but other than that, the course was in great shape. The pace was okay for a packed Sunday. We played in 3:50. Shot 45-39-84 from the blue tees. There is trouble everywhere but the course is more generous than it looks. The best thing is that the big horn sheep were back on course.

Fun Course. Worst Starter Ever.

My buddies and I played a round SilverRock during our annual destination golf trip. Overall, we really enjoyed the track and it’s unique layout. The construction around the course really didn’t bother us. Hopefully the project gets completed.

The only issue we had was with the starter. Guy was the epitome of an a-hole. We were slated to have ten guys but unfortunately four of them had to drop out of the trip last minute. So we arrived at SilverRock with six golfers. Keep in mind, those guys didn’t get a refund. So the courses and travel agency received their money for ten golfers. Upon arrival at the first tee, the starter really gave us a hard time for not arriving with 10 guys. Initially, he almost seemed hesitant to allow us to play. He didn’t even provide us with the “things to know” about the course, which is common for starters. His attitude was very off-putting and really started our round off on a bad note. We played Indian Wells Celebrity Course and PGA West Stadium course the prior two day (which are superior courses, respectfully) and they had no issue with us not having our full group. Again, we really enjoyed the course and rest of the staff, but the starter needs to be reviewed and understand the importance of customer service.

Challenging But Fair

The course was in good condition and the greens were rolling well. The course still has a lot of paused construction that detracts from the experience but the golf is good. The course has a lot of visually challenging tee shots, so picking the correct line of the tee can be difficult.

Unwelcome.. beware!!

Poor service by the marshal.. great cart girl, great starter, great bad service. Marshal very unpleasant and for this ill take my business elsewhere. Do not stock players if falling behind warn and take cart orders in consideration. If it happens again then speed up.. Felt like target which was uncomfortable. Ill take my business else where.
