About

Holes 18
Type Resort/Public
Par 72
Length 7239 yards
Slope 139
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.

Front 9 under repair

First time on this course, I really liked the layout and it was in great shape. All of the on course amenities are shut down during construction. We were disappointed that we didn't know this but, the staff on site were really great and friendly.

18 Holes NOT Open You play back nine twice

I did not see that the whole course was not open when I made the reservation

I chose to only play 9 once expecting a voucher for a future 9 holes. Nope they said golf now owns the reservation. HUH I paid for the reservation. So I overpaid for 9 holes big time.. Lots of construction and long cart rides in desert heat. Course was in good shape. No amenities. Starter in mobile home.

Be aware that 9 holes are closed

We thought we got a great deal on Silverock which is normally close to $200. But when we arrived we discovered we had to play the back twice because the front 9 is under major remodel. Would have been nice to know that in advance - no such indication from the course or GolfNow.

Don’t play here for a while

Heard it’s a great course was super excited to go play it. But with no prior warning on golf now, only the back 9 was open as they were working on the front 9. Make sure and call this place before you book a res on golf now, super unprofessional to not communicate the fact that only half of the course was open.

The front nine was in horrible condition. Grass around traps had been scalped. Little to no sand in the traps. I would have chosen to not play the course if they had communicated the conditions.

Grumpy starter

Found a good deal on golf now. I don’t remember reading the front 9 would be shut down No matter the course is still great. We needed refreshments after the first 9 and had to drive all the way back to the clubhouse for drinks. When we arrived back for the second 9. The starter started yelling at us asking we why we got out of rotation. We’ll provide drinks closer or send a drink cart out….. a simple. “Catch up to your group” as we did would have been fine.

Front 9 dead grass around ALL greens

There was notification on the website that the front nine will be going under the repair starting next week. However, there is no notification that the front nine surrounding all the bunkers was dead, dead dead dead.

We had played this course before and understood that the clubhouse was nonexistent. The housing around the course is in some sort of state of bankruptcy. However, the value for the course was definitely not there.

Enjoyable!

Had a fun day on this well designed track, the pace was great 4.5 hours. Beautiful views of the mountains are throughout play.The course is in fine condition with the exception of some of the greens. Some has a fungus that has started but it didn’t effect the putting to much. The pace of greens we were told was 10.5

Overall I would definitely recommend it for all levels of play.
