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.

SilverRock rules

What a wonderful day. The round started great beginning with the staff. From the bag drop to the check-in to the starter. Everyone was very helpful with providing directions as the starting hole and driving range is a bit of a way from the temporary clubhouse. The course was very nice but a few of the greens had some bald spots. Most were very nice and pretty quick. We will definitely come back to this course in the future.

Love this course, but it has declined since last year

Love this challenging course, but there were more bare strips on the fairways, some damaged greens, and the bunkers were officially terrible. Has definitely declined since I played it a year ago.

I enjoyed the course. For the hardness of the greens, I believe the green speeds were a little too high. Overall it was very enjoyable.

Silverrock horrible place

Complete scam. Charged me $398 because couple paired with us had an a emergency and had to cancel. Guess Silverrock needed the cash more. Never will return and will tell all 500 good members back home to avoid. Unacceptable service in a town with so many options. Be better Silverrock. How about a bit of empathy.

Over Priced

The ranger asked us twice to speed up with no one behind us. On number nine green he told us the group ahead was on 11. We got to 11 and waited for them on 3 holes so the ranger was full of crap. Front and back 9 s are very different with very tightly cut fairways on front but longer and more plush on back. Greens were just so so. I’m probably letting the ranger affect my opinion of the course but we won’t be back. No real facilities to speak of as pro shop is in a trailer with the range a half mile away. Unsightly unfinished homes around parts of the course make it all look like a demolition zone versus a resort.

Not bad

Course was in great shape. Staff are very friendly. Excellent practice facility. Overall the actual golf holes are pretty bland and some are just head scratchers. From what I’ve heard the course used to be much better before the construction. Some nice mountain views. Pace of play was pretty bad at 4:40.

Not for high handicappers.

Playing this course for the first time is a wild ride, but a fun ride. You have to be able to control your ball as there are many things to consider on each and every hole. You need to make a effort to not get frustrated and just enjoy the beauty. fast and firm greens add to the challenge.

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.
