Rams Hill Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The course was in great shape and the views spectacular. Excellent customer service / friendly, professional staff.

Very interesting layout with strong terrain influences.

Big panorama views of the Valley. Interesting and challenging greens. Elegant Clubhouse facilities

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.

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.

My wife and I played it for the first time. Very windy conditions, which sounds like a little unusual. We both found a lot of sand traps - but that was on us. Course conditions were excellent, beautiful setting, and we will go back

Everything you read about this course is true. It is one of most beautiful golf courses I have ever played. The vistas surrounding you as you play are breathtaking and it only adds to the golfing experience of this perfectly maintained Course. The greens were perfect and ran true. Sand bunkers had sand in them and not packed dirt. The fairways are awesome and plenty wide in most cases. This doesn't mean Rams Hill is not challenging because it is, but it is a fair golf course that every golfer will enjoy! I am looking forward to my next round here.

Loved everything.... such a beautiful facility and Course.

This course was a standout. The fairways and rough are vibrant green and lush. There weren't any bare lies on the course, and in January that is quite the achievement. The fairways are wide, but there are lots of strategic bunkers placed in the landing areas that make you think on each tee shot. The greens had good speed and rolled very nicely. There is some slope on the greens, but every putt I had was fair. The course will challenge your game, but I would describe it as a fair challenge. I didn't play well but managed to score decently. There is lots of elevation change on both tee shots and approach shots. Like other Fazio courses I have played in the past, there are some holes where you can use the slopes and contours around the green to feed the ball back towards the hole. It is quite the journey out here from San Diego, but it is definitely worth it. If this course was located in a more densely populated area it would be in all of the Top 100 course publications.

The most beautiful course we has found in years. lots of challenge not a fairway or green that was flat or boring . Had a great time plus as a bonus the staff treated us like old friends. WILL PLAY AGAIN !!!

Life happens and we arrived at 8:47 for our 9:00 time.

We were prepaid so got our cart and were at the tee by 8:51. I said “good morning!” To the starter who, on learning our name/time said “Well, you’re FINALLY here.” Bla bla..

So.. First tee of a NEW course I’ve looked forward to since last winter and I get a snobbish “you’re late” attitude.

We stood around on the number one tee for quite awhile after introductions, instructions, and tips before teeing up. There was no hurry.

How long does it take YOU to get over that?

Oh, the course is very nice. The attitude.. I can get that at the Muni from the former pro.

It is hard to believe that a course this beautiful is in Borrego Springs. As with many Tom Fazio designs, it is fairly generous off the tee but a lot more challenging as you approach the greens. Excellent conditions, a great mix of short and long holes, it flows very well. The greens, in particular, are wonderful. I had played here once before and the pace was not good at all - much better this time - about 4:10. You want to be able to enjoy the views and calculate the best way to play each hole.

The condition of the course was immaculate and the staff was top-notch. I don't understand why they put this course in the middle of nowhere but I recommend playing it at least once!

Other than we picked the only day SoCal had rain and wind since last Feb the experience was fantastic.

Will return to play again when I know there won't be wind
