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.

When you should adjust pricing.

When you dont have a legit clubhouse and you have to drive for 5 minutes to get to the driving range, the price to play should not be over $100.any time of the day.

Fun time

Course is in great shape! Really enjoyed coming back here. Fairways, greens, sand traps and tee boxes are all in great shape. People knock this place because of the construction but that doesn’t impact the course or the overall look of the course. If you hit from the yellow tees, be aware of 14 and the bees in the tree. My only gripe is that the marshalls place themselves in the eyesights of shots and really distract the golfer. May wanna get out of golfers views. If golfers are doing something wrong i would respect a courtesy check , instead of just dogging my group. Advise and move on… dont just keep appearing on holes and watching. This happened about 5 times throughout the day- kinda annoying. Other than that the course is awesome! Definitely will be back. .

Fun Day

Overall, course was in very good condition. Only exception were some greens that looked like winter overseeding didn't quite take good hold and were a little bare in spots. Pace of play was good. As for the construction going on around the course, it didn't directly affect play, but looking at chain link fencing is a little distracting. But overall a fun play and worth the trip out.

This was an awesome course

I'm a season card holder which allows a discount rate. I played this course for years. 3 problems, one very old and two new. Several years ago there was no fence, now it really detracts from the beauty. The fence was to keep the big horn sheep out and it was majestic to see them. Now the second problem, is it is impossible to get a tee time in season (unless you book after 3pm). I loved this course. The 3rd problem started 3 years ago with construction. The builder and city have created a massive mess, delayed construction and course change.

Changing times.

I’m 32, from Canada and silver rock has many memories from childhood for me. The epic scenery, attention to detail and the overall give a s&@t attitude when I was growing up was unreal. What took away from that feeling after not playing for years and coming back when I was older is the greed. I had the opportunity to play as a junior in the afternoon with my old man while vacationing down there because there was a program which allowed juniors to play for cheap. It was so cool. Nicest course I had ever played. My dad and I made that our favourite course.

Coming back these past years you guys have proved the people who truly appreciate what you have out of the picture.

Love the course, love the establishment, love the people. Just sucks when money takes memories out of play.

Tough but worth playing

A consistently well kept challenging course with Tees for every level. Staff helpful. Layout is well done though the finishing 18th is a big disappointment from the old 18tg.

Good conditions

I didn't really care for the layout. It didn't really flow, and a few holes were downright awkward. Course was in pretty good shape. There are no amenities to speak of as it looks like the resort development has stalled and clubhouse and dwellings are just sitting idle. It may be a great place in a year or two. If you are looking for more than a golf course and a range look elsewhere until 2024.

Beautiful resort course

Pro shop was full of merchandise. We played the first day of the horse reopened from an over seed. Greens were a little shaggy, but the course itself was an excellent shape. Give it another 2 weeks & it will be perfect. We have lunch out on the deck. The food was excellent. Service was excellent..

On-site facilities at Silverock

The course is great, but the onsite facilities are very poor. Based on the very slow new clubhouse being built it will be 12-18 months if at all it will be finished. The surrounding road to the practice facility is very poor and no toilet facilities. There were people urinating against wall near the 1st tee. When I asked the starter why - he said they had removed the toilet and there were some on the course.
