Rams Hill Golf Club

Yes, it does live up to the hype. This course is literally in the middle of nowhere, 90 minutes from even one of the remotest airports and it still cracks the top 20 in the country. Fantastic track perfectly maintained with an excellent clubhouse serving top notch food. Staff is the friendliest you can find. We went off as a 2-ball at 9 AM following 3 groups from the ladies club and never had to wait for more that 2 minutes and only 2 or 3 times at that. This course is magical and if you haven't played it you had best put it in your bucket list and hit it up SOON! They have a pretty good special rate on golfnow for $125. The time is right. Make your plans and come on out. Allow me to recommend La Casa de Zorro for your stay. With such great accommodations and great golf you think you died and went to golf heaven.

I'm a first timer to Rams Hill, and it was a treat. The course is wonderfully manicured, pristine greens, plenty of fairway and green side bunkers, and water hazards along some of the fairways. The course is challenging and it will test your abilities to place the ball whether driving or chipping. Get off the fairway or misplace your drive even within the fairway, the course will challenge your next shots, especially from fairway traps. The weather was hot, 85-95 degrees, and it was nice to have ice machines with water at several places along the 18 holes course. The course was green all around, no dead spots, and with the exceptionally hot weather it was surprising to see the course so lush and well maintained. The club house is exceptional as well, with a restaurant, outside patio with deck tables and chairs and evening fire pits and mist sprayers and the whole experience was entirely pleasant. I recommend the course to anyone looking to get away for a fine golfing weekend.

One other note as to the fine golf host and pro. Mike Setchell went beyond providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. He was accommodating at every turn. He took extra time and effort to make sure we were pleased with our experience. Thanks Mike for a great time, and I'll definitely be back for another round or two!!

I can't say enough about how good this course is and how well run to provide a great golf experience. We flew in from Colorado for an easter weekend golf trip as we had heard this is a must visit course. What a treat to play a public Fazio golf course with super clubhouse facilities and well organized golf staff to make sure you enjoy your day. We appreciated the friendly head golf professional Mike Setchell and told him we will be back next year as this course is a blast to play.

Second time playing here. The weather is getting hot but better than the extremely windy conditions in January.

Only improvement would be better cart path markings to the next tees.

Nothing wrong to say, expect for tough greens with a lot of slope.

a great example of desert golf, and the designer put the sand traps in great spots which made drives and green approaches challenging. well done.

I'd have to say one of the only (minor) complaints would be the absence of signage throughout the course. would be nice to see some tee markers and some directional signs.

Not sure what all the hype is here. Reviewers keep using the word spectacular, and while it is a good, even possibly great, desert course, the question you have to ask yourself, is “ is it worth the 90 minute drive from Palm Springs”? There was no real “ wow “ factor here for us, just a good track with excellent conditions. The starter was very friendly and even let us go out as a five. From there the service became non- existent. No cart girl, limited signage, no turn shack that was obvious after 9. A marshall directed us down a hill after 9 to a different snack shack. Lo and behold, no sandwiches, not even a hot dog! Just drinks and chips, and even that was shutting down at 4 pm. I think they have trouble staffing the place because it is so remote. Word of advice...bring in your. own food or order something to go before your round. The rates were reasonable since we had twilight. If you lived nearby, it would be a great course to play, but if you’re in Palm Springs, why drive to the middle of nowhere?

This is a great course if you are anywhere near Borrego Springs. The greens were as pure of a surface I have ever putted on. The fairways and rough were perfect. My only complaint were the bunkers. They were generally good but it appeared it had been some time that they had been raked up.

The only other thing you need to be careful if is wind conditions. It got so windy on back 9 it was almost unplayable. Check the weather and wind before you book. Otherwise this is a Jen of a course!

Beautiful course, challenging but fair. Ate dinner afterwards and it was excellent.

We have been playing Rams Hill, since it opened. It is open of the best courses in Southern California. It is worth the drive.

Rams is very well layed out and in excellent condition the elevation changes and use of natural desert is spectacular

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

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..

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
