Rating 75.4

Located at the heart of the immense Anza Borrego State Park, Rams Hill Golf Club sits perched on a hillside overlooking the desert floor. Tom Fazio designed the course, fully utilizing the existing features of the terrain from the natural slopes and undulations to the many lakes and streams. The layout features rolling fairways and elevated greens framed by carefully sculpted bunkers. Each hole has a different character, as well as a different set of challenges, thanks to the natural elevation changes. The final hole is considered a classic Fazio finishing hole and one of the most memorable on the golf course. This par 5 begins with a downhill tee shot to a wide fairway that slopes towards a large lake on the right, then you'll face an uphill third shot to a green protected by an array of threatening bunkers and a large waterfall.

Conditions could be better

Course layout, amenities, and staff were amazing as always, but conditions were struggling this year compared to the immaculate conditions we’ve come to expect from Rams Hill. I’m sure they’ll continue to improve as it cools off out in Borrego Springs. Recommend holding off another 2-3 weeks before making the drive out.

Greens and Fairways

Greens were in rough condition and fairways wet enough that many holes you had to walk to ball. Most likely to improve with time. Still beautiful settings.

Excellent course

I had a very good time playing this course. The course was well designed/maintained and enjoyable for me. All holes were picture perfect. Generally, many holes are wide open and you can see from the start to the end. The Green is very large with lots of undulations. So, it requires a good imagination and putting skills.

Mostly great...

Very fun course, but conditions were a notch below the spectacular conditions we’ve come to expect from Rams Hill. Greens were on the slower side, fairways had some patchy areas, and some of the grass is still coming in. But we’ve already booked a return trip! Really great course that is no longer the hidden gem it was a few years ago. As a result, you’ll need to book weekend times weeks in advance and same-day replay rounds are increasingly becoming a pipe dream.

FUN COURSE

Not as green as it has been in past years. I believe managment has cut back on water. In years past it was super green and this year many areas were a little brown, greens were a little slow and fringes should be faster for maximum playability.

u651872202, Thank you for visiting RamsHill and being a repeat Fan. Thank you for taking the time to comment. With the hotter than usual weather in October it has been hard for the bermudagrass to give way to the emerald green ryegrass as normally happens by this time. Cooler temps are expected this weekend and the ryegrass at Rams Hill will be back to the deep green lush colors and conditions that Rams Hill is known for. We look forward to your return.

Best regards, Harry Turner GM/COO Rams Hill

You have to go!

You have to play this course at least one’s, Tom Fazio makes difficult courses but this one is very playable, greens are fast but roll true, the starter gives great input that will help you, nice burger after the round in the restaurant overlooking the 18 hole

Bucket List Course

This was a top 5 course for me for sure. Perfect conditions, fun layout, and amazing views. Doesn’t get much better. Too bad they’ll be closed for the summer.

In this time of Covid 19 I don't really expect a lot

With the Covid 19 virus hype going around I really don't expect much out business. Although at Rams Hill the entire staff was fantastic. The corse is in good shape, the greens a little slow, but with everything going on it is a great place to go play.
