Staff

Bob and Carla are absolute top notch staff that deserve recognition. There was another gentleman behind the pro shop counter who was fantastic as well but I did not catch his name. All are very respectful, accommodating, and people any club would want to represent the course whether they’ve played there a million times, or their first.

Great layout and fun course.

I almost didn't play this because some reviews said not for beginners. I play from the forward tees and this course was very doable for me. In fact, I had one of my better scores. The layout is interesting and challenging. Choose your tees wisely. I played with two guys who hit from the tips. They swere good golfers who knew what they were doing, and hit mostly bogeys and some pars. So know your skill level and play from the right tees. The greens played VERY fast until the last hole, which was really slow. We were lucky with the weather which was perfect and not windy.

There were definitely patches of dirt in the fairways, which was disappointing for a course of this quality. I got a hot deal for $115 less the $10 golfpass credit brought my total to $105. I wouldn't want to pay much more than that because I've played better courses for much less than Ram's HIll full price (e.g., Black Jack's in Texas, Black Mesa in NM, Coeur d'Alene resort in Idaho).

Then there's the Ram Shack at the turn. Only thing better than a good taco is a free taco and these are loaded with enough meat to make 8 tacos. The cookie at the end is a nice touch.

I would play again if I am in the area and got a hot deal. Would not necessarily drive out of my way to play this course.

Hidden Gem in Middle of Nowhere!

Course had a few rough spots, but the layout is as good as the PGA West courses. Played gold tees and had a lot of 180-210 yard shots into the greens. A good challenge, but nothing impossible. Greens are multi tiered, but so wide that you can’t really short side yourself. Tee shots required precision as there were lots of strategic fairway bunkers. Fun course, but out of the way for most people. Still think it’s worth the price (and travel)!

Great course

Played Rams Hill for first time: exceeded high expectations. Very relaxed but efficient service on arrival. Excellent practice facilities with ProV1 ballls.
Course has been set up beautifully by Tom Fazio with challenges for higher and lower handicap players.
Course was in excellent condition when we visited in December. Tees and fairways were great to play from. Bunkers were properly filled and properly raked by green staff. Greens were well contoured with plenty of challenging pin positions and the playing surface was true, consistent and fast.
Complete your visit with a couple of glasses of the Rams Hill Golden Ale.

u748930068,

I appreciate you taking the time to post a review. We never like to hear about 5 hour rounds and they are rare at Rams Hill but do happen on occasion. The tacos at the RamsShack are very popular but the stop or in some cases two stops for them do add a few minutes to the round. Hopefully when the round seems long you can enjoy the views and serenity of Rams Hill. I hope to see you back soon and we will always do our best to provide a great experience and do it under 5 hrs.

Best staff, great layout that never gets old

The entire staff from the pro-shop, greeters, grounds keepers, starters, ram shack folks and everyone else all make for the best experience imaginable. When it comes to the track and its surroundings, every hole has its own personality, challenge and pristine view. Course conditions are good have improved since last season. Its a must play course!
