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.

Can't get enough of this course
We have been playing Rams Hill, since it opened. It is open of the best courses in Southern California. It is worth the drive.
Great condition
Rams is very well layed out and in excellent condition the elevation changes and use of natural desert is spectacular
Thank you Jim8799883 for the five star review and rating from your recent tee time with us! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience at Rams Hill. We hope to see you again soon!
WOW really good
Place is special and could become a nice little desert getaway with a few more courses and some nice options for stays
Course is beautifully designed and cared for with a staff that is attentive and food to die for. Greens rolled true and fast. Almost all fairways were looking good and pure for some good So Cal winter action
Thank you Nash3500578 for the wonderful five star review from your recent visit to Rams Hill! We hope to see you hit the greens with us again this season.
Must play
What you've read is true. This golf experience has the feel of a private club. Conditions are amazing. Green sizes varied in a good way... Long holes had greens 40 yards front to back with minimal break. Shorter holes had postage stamp sized greens with severe break. Thought the green complexes were challenging enough for scratch players but forgiving enough for a 20 handicapper like me.
Course routing and hole variety is great (except awkward back-to-back par 3s). Had a really nice post round lunch at the restaurant.
We got lucky with pace of play... Two of us finished in 3.5 hours... But tee times after ours seemed to be booked solid with foursomes.
Would recommend without hesitation. Worth the drive from San Diego, orange county, and Palm Springs. Give this course a chance... Guarantee you'll come back..
Thank you u000004004924 for traveling out to hit the greens at Rams Hill from Texas! We are pleased to hear you had a great time on the course and your expectations were met from the course layout to our staff. Hope to see you again soon at Rams Hill.
Bandan dunes of the south
Bandan dunes of the south, we are doing a RV road trip across United States and a friend recommended Rams Hill highly as a place to play. All expectations were met with a spectacularly out. It helps though that on 14 I had an ace. Dinner and cocktails on the wonderful veranda restaurant completed a perfect day.
Cabrini
Great course and very accommodating! The views were as pictureress as it gets. Wonderful layout, very playable and well maintained course. Great staff, who offered continuous help and very friendly.
Thanks Nwacavs for hitting the greens at Rams Hill on your trip! We are pleased to hear your course expectations were met on your visit! Hope to see you again soon on your next golf getaway.
Amazing course
This course was one of the most memorable places that I have played throughout my life with plenty of views and unique holes. I would recomend this course to any lover of the game as it is an amazing course.
Thank you Nstraub for the five star rating and review! We are happy to hear you had a great round at Rams Hill! Hope to see you again soon this season.
Cabrini
Played here today on spring break. This course is very pure and the layout is great but playable, highly recommend. Played Torrey pines south the day before and enjoyed this more. Great place to play and not a bad drive at all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Thank you Claybird91 for the five star rating and review from your recent visit at Rams Hill! We hope to see you hit the greens with us again soon!
We could come back again and again
I brought my golf team from the East Coast and after 7 rounds in 6 days, this was the best. Worth the drive! Honestly, the staff is amazing, the conditions perfect, and truly a hidden gem. Best greens! I would come again and again.
Thank you Tanathomas for the five star rating and course feedback! We are pleased to hear you could make it out to Rams Hill with your team. We hope to see you again soon!
Stunning Course!
What a fun day! Rams Hill is a true delight to play! Course was immaculately maintained. Tee boxes level and pristine. Fairways and rough cut perfectly. Greens very fast but true. Beautiful layout with great views of the mountains. A little pricy but worth the cost.
The best course overall!
As usual, Rams Hill delivers the best golf experience in southern Ca. golf. Doubt you will find a better layout, better condition course anywhere for the $. The only course that's worth an almost 2 hour drive, because your never disappointed, from the time you arrive to when you have to leave.
Thank you steves2099 for making the drive from San Diego to hit the greens at Rams Hill. We appreciate the five star rating and course review! See you again soon this season.
Tuff sledding
Played on Very windy day. Drove from Palm Springs. Cool drive scenery!
Very few golfers given strong winds and cool temps. Was surprised no GPS in carts.
Excellent suger sand traps, green fairways, good greens.
However, at least a dozen courses in Palm Springs as good. Next time I would not pre pay and only do again under good weather conditions.
Thank you r73899 for the four star rating and course review from your recent visit! We are glad you made the drive to hit the greens at Rams Hill! We hope the weather is better next time on your visit.
This course was in great condition
I always enjoy playing this golf course when I come to the Desert. Great views and conditions! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Check the weather though, as winds come up in afternoon and course could be tough for inexperienced golfer.
Thank you u147952401 for the awesome five star rating and course feedback. We are pleased to hear you had a great round at Rams Hill. We hope to see you again soon!
Wow, what a gem!
I found this course online and have read many positive reviews about it. My wife and I were in the Palm Springs area and decided to make the 1 1/2 trek out to the course. The trip out there was a bit concerning, As the highway is in good condition but the road we turned onto from the highway about 30 minutes prior to arriving the was pretty bumpy and broken up. It wasn’t long until we were back on fresh pavement, but now we’re we going through a state park that had many dune buggies and dirt bikes enjoying the rugged terrain. Once we made it to the course we were happy to see the high quality finishing of the clubhouse and practice area as well as the quality of the first hole. We played the golf course and kept marveling that such a wonderful golf course was in this interesting location. There are amazing views of the mountains and the way the course is desinged you feel that you are in a different place from where you have come from. The holes have lots of variety, elevation change and visual excitement. It is by far my favourite course I have ever played in the Palm Springs area. I can’t wait to make it back!
Thank you Mpate for the five star rating and review from your recent visit with us! We are glad you made the trip out to the course from Calgary. Rams Hill hopes to see you again in the near future!
Rams Hill awesome
The course was in great shape and the views spectacular. Excellent customer service / friendly, professional staff.
Thank you jewett2 for the five star and review from your recent visit at Rams Hill! We hope to see you again on the greens this season.
First Visit
Very interesting layout with strong terrain influences.
Big panorama views of the Valley. Interesting and challenging greens. Elegant Clubhouse facilities
Thank you nygs07 for making the trip to Rams Hill from Boston! We appreciate the five star review and rating. We are happy to hear you had a great time on the course. See you again soon at Rams Hill!
A Super Fun Track....out in the middle of nowhere !
I kept hearing a bunch of hoopla about some course called Rams Hill. Seeing some great reviews on GK I told myself I need to play it and see what it's all about. One slight problem. The course is waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere. It's about halfway between San Diego and Palm Springs. Not a bad drive if you live in either of those places but a heck of a haul from Northern Califirnia. With so many great options at both locations, Rams Hill just never made the list on any of the So Cal golf trips.
Johnny GK gave me an invite and when the MAN himself invites you, you make the trip.
And let me tell you it Was worth every minute of the drive!!
The course had everything that I like in a track: elevation changes, multiple water hazards, great playing conditions, and excellent customer service.
Per my intel this used to be two private courses that is now one "resort" style course. Greens were spacious that offered some fun challenges but gentle enough to give up a handful of birdies to the group (sadly none to me).
Fairways are wide enough that errant shots can usually be found in the first cut of rough which was thick but manageable.
The water hazards are off to the side with hole 11 having a river/stream flowing down the entire left side. It's probably my favorite hole on the course. There are no forced carries over any of the water hazards which takes a couple points off the design For me but not that big of a deal breaker.
The views are amazing and all in all the layout is awesome with a number of fun holes. Most holes are fairly straight with only a couple of severe dog leg holes.
There have been some recent articles about Rams Hill being the third best resort course behind Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill. Whereas I can't say that I agree with that statement (there are just so many great courses in California) I can say that Rams Hill is Definitely, definitely worth the drive and a fun track.
I did have several issues with the website, but that may have been a compatibility issue with my iPad.
Thank you Alex326 for taking the time to write a great four star rating and course feedback. We strive to make each golfer's experience a memorable one. We hope to see you hit the greens at Rams Hill this season.
A long ride to get there. Once there it was well worth it. Course is beautiful, in excellent condition and very playable even though it was very windy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A magnificent golf course in the middle of nowhere. A course you would like to play every day.
Thank you dalawyr for the five star review and rating! We hope to see you again soon in 2018!
