Rating Snapshot
About
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 Golf Course!
This was my first time playing SilverRock and I absolutely loved it! The views were great, the golf course was tough but fair, and the layout itself was awesome. The only negative was that the greens were a little slow. This golf course is now my favorite and I am already booked to play it again.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing SilverRock Resort.
Fantastic Golf Course
This was my first time playing SilverRock and I absolutely loved it! The views were stunning, the course conditions were excellent, and the layout was awesome! This is now my favorite golf course in Palm Desert and am looking forward to playing it again next week.
Outstanding! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing SilverRock Resort.
Beautiful layout!
First off the staff was excellent. The course was laid out so well. Greens need work but still 5 star ⭐️ overall
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing SilverRock Resort.
Course has a great layout
Marshall needs to do his job and keep pace of play up especially when it’s 110 outside. The group in front of us was at least 3 holes behind. Rediculous
Thank you for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing SilverRock Resort.

Poor shape
Chewed up “fairways” with, at most 50% green grass
Stones in most bunkers
Greens too long with several dead/bare areas
Need to lower green fee in summer due to poor conditions
Thank you for your review! We apologize that our conditions didn't meet your expectations. This time of the year, the golf course is transitioning (cool season grass fades away) and the Bermuda Grass remerges from its winter dormancy. This “transition” occurs every year and at every golf course in the Coachella Valley. During the transition, there may be areas on the course that appear brown or dead. This is normal as this transition will take several weeks to complete; by the end of summer the entire golf course will be fully transitioned. Then in the fall, the golf course will be reseeded again with cool season grass. This is the annual cycle of golf turf grass in the Coachella Valley. Thank you again for your review and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at SilverRock Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
One the best in Palm Springs
This course is one the best golf properties I’ve ever played on. Sure the greens were a wreck from the heat but it’s July in the desert and the course was pretty nice considering. You need to play here. Tough but fair.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing SilverRock Resort.
Greens
beautiful course, very scenic but for being a PGA level course, the greens were in horrible shape. Everything else was great
Thank you for you review! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing SilverRock Resort.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at SilverRock Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Lots of water, desert and sand
The course is beautiful and it helps if you can hit the ball reasonably straight. Do yourself a favor and move up a tee box as the course plays longer than yardage and you will really enjoy your round.
Excellent! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at SilverRock Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Very Nice Experience
Silver Rock resort is under construction and they have a temporary check in / bag drop location. a considerable distance away from the 1st tee. Love the design of this course; but in all honesty, it wasn't in the best of shape. lot's of bare spots on the fairways and greens. The golf carts were also problematic. You had to turn the key off and on several times and toggle the forward / reverse button repeatedly to get the cart to move. Also, the GPS was not working properly. Other than that, we enjoyed the round and also had a nice breakfast at The Grill restaurant afterwards.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing SilverRock Resort.

Beautiful course
Played early in morning to avoid heat wave. Staff was friendly and helpful. Maintenance crew was out in force mowing fairways and aprons but never got in the way. Fun layout that is challenging
