Rams Hill Golf Club
About
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.

One of a kind!
This course has the Wow factor. Excellent design. Challenging but fair. Highly recommend playing here. Beautiful scenery.
poorly managed
the back 9 took 3 hours. waiting long for every hole.
the course should not have sold tee time immediately after the USGA tournament group where the players walked and took their time.
it was getting quite dark when we played the last couple of holes though we teed off @ 11.30 am.
when we talked to the manager, he has no sympathy .
deniseching,
We are very sorry your experience was less than desirable. As you know the day of your play we hosted the USGA Four-Ball qualifying at Rams Hill where 40 Two-Man teams were required to walk during their competition. We hope that you will come back to Rams Hill soon and enjoy another round when our average finish times are 4hrs 15 minutes.
Staff the best around.
Start with a great kept challenging course , add in super nice staff in every area. Makes for a very nice fun day if golf. I’ll be back. Nice views. Mix of easy and hard hikes .
Rams Hill
The best golf course in the San Diego county area! I have traveled around the world this is a top five in the entire state.
Fantastic
Very windy day, played the whites, course was in great shape.
Well worth the trip
Well worth the trip, Rams Hill is one of the most beautiful hidden treasures
Rams Hills golf course
A little out of the way from where we’re staying in Palm Springs but more than worth the drive.
Great course!!
Immaculate Course Conditions
First time paying Rams Hill. Course opened for the season a few days earlier. Conditions were perfect, yes perfect. Beautiful layout, wide fairways, some challenges but extremely entertaining.Staff very friendly and helpful. Why don't more people play here?
More people would play the course if it weren't in the middle of nowhere. But then it probably wouldn't be as immaculate as it is...
Fantastic course
Fantastic course in the dessert. The course just opened for the season, but the condition on greens and fairways was perfect.
0318Max,
Thank you for your comment. We look forward to your return to Rams Hill.
One of nicest golf courses.
Great layout, in wonderful shape. A lot of fun to play.
Can wait to play it again!
Best in Valley
No better course in Palm Springs region. Worth the drive and more!!
doozy, the staff at Rams Hill thanks you for your review and looks forward to your return
Great day at Rams Hill...
Recently played Rams Hill and what a great day. Staff greeted us as we pulled to the bag drop and took our bags to our golf carts. Met Mike the Director of Golf, when paying our green fees and he gave us some awesome insight into the course. Practice range had all the practice balls you could hit at no cost. We finished our round in under 4-hours, as we never had to wait or ever felt pushed from behind. Overall a great day of golf!
Thank you SDSGOLF for the five star rating and review from your recent visit to Rams Hill. We are happy to hear you had a great time on the greens! Hope to see you again soon this year at Rams Hill.
BEST COURSE AND PEOPLE AROUND
My wife and I have been going to Borrego Springs and Rams Hill for over 30 years. I can't say enough about Mike Setchell and the entire crew. They always go beyond our expectations. Thank You to the entire Rams Hill crew, from the golf course, to the restaurant, and all the people behind the scenes. GREAT JOB !
Thank you u651872202 for the five star rating and review. We are happy to have you and your wife at the course for the last 3 decades. See you again very soon!
Hidden Gem
Came out to Borrego Springs for a family event. Got a chance to play Rams Hill. We played on the last day before they shut down for the summer. Special thanks to Mike Setchell and his staff for having us out. The course was in good condition. Eventhough it was super hot out, we were provided cold towels and plenty of ice water. Each hole has multiple tee boxes to pick from and each is pretty challenging in its own way, but it makes the round fun. #18 is a good finishing Par 5, as we also made our way into the restaurant after our round. With misters on the patio, you can enjoy a view of the 18th green and watch other golfers finishing their round, while you enjoy a delicious cocktail or some shareables. The staff was very kind and courteous. I would recommend to anyone to come out and experience Rams Hill. You might leave a few birdies out on the course, but you'll take home a memorable experience.
Thank you ChuyCobian for the five star rating and review from your recent visit with us this season! We are glad you could tee off at the course on our last day and hope to see you again soon when we re-open!
1st timer
This course is a jewel. It was in pristine condition.
Now that I have played it I understand why Golf Digest rates this course so highly.
The pro shop and restaurant are also first class.
This is a must play for any golfer.
Played as a guest of my financial advisor. I had a great time. This course is in excellent condition and the holes are intriguing. Looking to fill a foursome soon....87 miles away from Vista, CA
Thank you 69DAVIDFOSTER for the five star rating and review from your recent visit at Rams Hill! We hope to see you again soon this season.
Truly a Desert GEM just over the hill.
What an absolute Treat just 90 Gorgeous minutes close!
Having golfed Pebble, Spyglass, CVR, Monterey Peninsula and other famous posh courses globally we found Rams Hill to be Gorgeous, Very Challenging, Picturesque, Meticulously Manicured and Fun as All Get Out.
The staff here is OUTSTANDING! Prices were Great and Folks you Really should play a round on their Golf Boards! What a Fun way to get a"round" (pun intended) in great pace with the Thrill of the Ride!
We'll DEFINITELY be back again and again!
THANK YOU to all the staff, and I truly mean Everyone!
Bucket list Rams Hill for SURE!
-Steve
Thank you SL6064 for sharing your experience and feedback with us from your recent Rams Hill Visit! We are happy to hear you had a great time hitting the greens and experiencing what the course has to offer! We hope to see you again soon for another Bucket list trip!
Fun Track
Really enjoy playing here. First off, got a Hot Deal which made it a really good value. The setting and scenery are great, staff is extremely friendly, and layout fun. Course conditions were good although some brown areas dot the fairways. More so than I remember in past spring trips here. Not sure if this is due to the course winding down their season, warming weather, irrigation, or other issues. Shouldn't be a deterrent as overall the track is in good shape from tee to green. Greens I thought were a little on the slow side. Would recommend this course to someone wanting to make the trip over the hills to play.
Thank you hacksalot03 for the four star rating and course feedback from your recent visit! Hope to see you again soon at Rams Hill.
Fantastic golf course
The golf course played fast and the greens were as good as it gets rolling a 10.7. (Listed in the chalk board) The fairways are firm so that a well played shot comes off as it should with no thin lies. The bunkers are soft and fair playing extremely fair for bunkers. If you haven’t played here it’s a definite treat for the true golfer and average mid handicap player. I m a low single digit handicap that could play here every day. The staff is customer service driven and extremely helpful. Thank you rams hill staff we had a great experience!!!!
Thank you Emattrange12 for the five star rating and review. We are pleased to hear you had a great time at the course and the staff was helpful! We hope to see you again soon at Rams Hill this season.
