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.

Ace

Beautiful course. As nice as any PGA course except the club house. Friendly staff. The unfinished builds did not bother. I got an ace on hole #13.

Shame about the new clubhouse

Really nice layout but in my opinion spoilt by the crazy massive size of some of the bunkers.

Really good greens and fairways superb.

Enjoyed it.

So Sad

Over the years we would look forward playing SilverRock as one of our premium courses. They were owned by the city or county and did a great job. They sold it to a developer. They changed several holes to get buildings and a hotel on the grounds. The developers have gone bankrupt, maybe even the second one. Building are not even half built and continue to deteriorate. The course conditions are pitiful. It is such a shame, they really had something great of few years back. Now we won't ever bother going back. Sorry to see.

Tough track

Excellent layout and very challenging, with deep bunkers and difficult greens. Beautiful scenery that is marred somewhat by lots of construction activity that has seemingly been stalled for quite some time. Overall this is one of the best deals in the area, but it's definitely a difficult track for mid- and high-handicappers.

It is sad to see the home construction still half way done and abandoned around the course. The course is fun and in pretty nice shape. Greens were difficult to read and thus a challenge. Will play here again.

Silver rock, will play again

First time playing SilverRock and found it to be really challenging but fair. Great value for money. As they are in the process of changing the grass in the rough and some fairways the condition of the course off the greens was not perfect. Looking forward to returning and playing the course.

visual challenge

course was in great shape, I'm just not use to playing in a lot of fairway bunker scenarios so it was visually challenging "where to hit drives" and how far on some of the holes.

Plays extremely long for the yardage

We played from the white tees and there were still some very long carries and 180+ yard shots to the green on Par 4's... A very testing course but well worth the experience.

Greens have undulations and slope so playing for the first time created a few 3 putts.

This is an excellent course, water hazards, narrow fairways, bunkers... you name it... well worth a day out.
