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.

Great location, but construction work distracts

Silver Rock is a great layout, but hotel work takes away from the present experience. The check-in person and the cart woman were having a bad day, and it showed. There are many deep traps, and, unfortunately, most didn't have enough sand in the bottom of them. I would play it again, but only after the construction is completed.

Golf course within a construction site

SilverRock is a fantastic layout and beautiful golf course, but there is tons of construction around the course, much of it in view, with lots of noise. It is like playing around an ugly construction site. We played on an extremely windy day and dust was blowing everywhere. There is no clubhouse. The pro shop and cart garages are canvas quonset huts. Staff didn't seem to care much. I'm sure this will be a beautiful resort someday, but until then they should not be charging high prices. I would not recommend this course until the construction is done.

Course was in very good condition, but construction in the area takes away from the experience. Routing through the construction makes it feel quite disjointed at times.

Mixed feelings

Green conditions were adequate, but poorer than expected for the price. The other negative is the dust blowing in from adjacent construction sites. Once completed , this could be a $175 course. As of now, not worth over $100-125.

Construction adversly affects play

There is so much construction going on that the play, routing and resulting dirt and noise is a downer!

its not worth the full rack rate and I won't play there again until the construction is done.

Greens with spotty grass

Overall layout is good, staff was great! Traps need sand, wedge just about bounced over the ball. Greens are true, sparse on the grass for the $$, fringes is tough shape.

Because of all the construction course is not fun to play. Also signage terrible got lost getting back to clubhouse. My feeling Arnie is turning over in his grave due what they have done. Would not recommend anyone to play this course very disappointed

Excellant Golf

Course was absolutely beautiful! The mountain scape seems unrealistic and the fairways run right along the base of the mountain. Some Challanging holes which make the golf interesting! It's a bit under construction and no clubhouse. I would have to say that was the only downside to this course.

Under construction but great golf

All of the golf holes are beautiful and in excellent condition. . The construction around the course is an unfortunate eyesore. Very strange distance between the driving range and the course.

Cart was SLOW, GPS was Poor quality.

Very good course to play (as long as you have played it before). The golf cart was amazingly SLOW. The GPS graphics where Poor (at best). Which normally I would not care about, but it was my first time playing the course. So we were forced to drive ahead and scout out the layout of the fairway, as there are many Hazards (Lakes/Bunkers/Canals and ravines) to avoid, and plan your shots for.

Our group was slow to begin with (High Handicappers) who were too polite to play Ready Golf. Adding to the fun.

Greens are fast and true. many with False fronts.

The course must have been rerouted, as there is a new clubhouse being built, and 18 ends in the middle of nowhere.

I did break 80 and would play the course again,
