Course Highlights
Tom Fazio's desert layout impresses with immaculate fairways, fast greens, and mountain views that consistently earn top marks from recent visitors. Exceptionally friendly staff, complimentary tacos at the turn, and outstanding value make this Borrego Springs gem worth the drive.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Par 72
Length 7232 yards
Slope 141
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.

Worth the drive

Staying in Palm Springs for a golf week, in the middle of the summer, found Rams Hill on the nearby courses, debated the hour and 30 minute drive, turned out to be the best course I played out of the 16 courses. Very friendly staff, free replay, excellent condition, and a unique layout for the desert, made this a truly enjoyable day..

Rams Hill…a gem

I gave it a four on course condition only because it’s virtually impossible to be a five in the middle of the summer here (115°). But they do a great job in spite of the heat and everything else is great. I can’t wait to play it when it is in season. Great, fun Fazio track.

Rams Hill Was a Thrill

Pleasant round on a sunny windy day. Very friendly staff. Course was in very good shape. Enjoyed the layout including the back to back Par 3's at the 9th & 10th holes. The free snow cones at the turn were a nice touch. Carts have GPS and lots of water available on course. Lots of summer specials worth checking out too. Played 18 twice back to back. Enjoyed it.

The greens are the smoothest I've played.

Considering it's the beginning of summer the course is in fantastic condition and with the summer rate a good value.

Enjoyed playing Rams Hill

We teed off at 6:40 am as midday and afternoon temps are 115 degrees in mid-June. The temp was 85 when started and 100 when finished. There was a bit of a breeze which helped. The heat was not overwhelming because of the time we played, had a cart and plenty of water. Course was in excellent condition. Very enjoyable round.

Reverse Uno Fathers Day

Golfed on Fathers Day with my Dad and it was amazing, unfortunately 5 mins from getting home the day was ruined with family drama. Woke up Monday morning and saw a great Hot Tee time and booked. Asked my almost 6 year old son if he wanted to take a road trip. We live in San Diego so it’s about 1 1/2 hour drive. Temps were around 110 degrees but we stayed hydrated and had a beautiful day out on the course with my personal caddie and new golf cart driver.
