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.

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.

The experience of playing here raises the bar for all courses. If you never golf here, consider yourself missing out. Come try it for yourself.

Rams Hill is BACK!

We used to play Rams Hill a bunch back in 2020 2021, the conditions got a little bit suspect in 2022, so we stopped going for a few years, but we had heard they had redone all of the grass and so we took another shot last weekend. It was immaculate!! Greens were perfect. No bumps running fast. Fairways and Rough were great, all in all it was as good as I’ve ever seen it there. the layout is amazing, the service is top-notch, the clubhouse is great, the food is great. It’s better value than anything. You can play in Palm Springs or Palm Desert, highly recommend to check it out if you’ve never been.

Rams Hill Just WOW

This is one of the most spectacular courses I have played, from arrival to completion it is a first-class experience. Being greeted and set up on a cart right when you show up, the pro shop is nicely stocked with just about anything you could need, and everyone is very helpful. The driving range is off the grass, stocked with Titleist Pro V’s, has club washing stations, and a few range finders to find the yardage of the many targets to aim at. Course conditions were superb, the ground is firm, so the greens don’t seem to get torn up by ball marks, making them flawless, but fast and very undulating. The scenery is beautiful and vast, I was fortunate to play 2 days with day 1 bringing 30-40 mph winds, but almost completely calm the next day, I guess you never know what you are going to get. This course is something special, even more so for me because I got a hole in one on hole #10! Shout out to the Head Pro Bob for sending me my hole in 1 flag, Ben in the pro shop, and Blanca in the Ram shack.

Great Course

Course I really good shape. Greens rolled thru around 10.5. no bare spots anywhere on course. Fairways plush. Rough was deep. Complimentary cookies at start and end of round along with shaved ice at the turn. Mid 90s weather but lots of water on the course. Very friendly staff.

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.
