Rams Hill Golf Club

I am a well traveled PGA Professional and have played golf all over the world. This is definitely in my top 5 I have ever played. The amenities were great, staff extremely helpful, and the course design and consitions were unbeatable. If you are lookind to play one of the best courses in the states find this one and play it!

Really great layout in the middle of nowhere. The course conditions here are fantastic, pace of play was great, and there are lots of interesting and challenging holes. Would like to come back and play it again when there aren't 30+ mph winds like there were on the day we played which made it a slog, but my group loved the layout and conditions so much that this was a minor annoyance.

Need more golf boards - they only have 2. Also service in the restaurant could improve, as it was quite slow. All in all though, this is worth the drive to Borrego.

Golf weekend with my buddies. Course is challanging and still very enjoyable. Fairways are not soft which leads to significant runout.

No dearth of sand traps, bring your A game!

Beautiful water features as well.

Rams Hill is a Mecca in the Desert! I was immediately greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable Head Golf Pro Mike Setchell. Mike was very helpful in providing helpful tips to playing the course.

The course itself is in excellent condition and each hole has its own personality. The views are spectacular. The fairways are open for a good shot, but their are several bunkers to grab an errant shot. The greens are as pure as I've putted on, but I did struggle with my ability to read the speed and breaks. Truly one of the best courses I have ever played on. Rams Hill should be on ever golfers bucket list.

My group ate lunch and dinner at the golf house restaurant. The food and service was plentiful and excellent.

My thanks and appreciation go out to Mike and his staff. Do yourself a favor and make time to play Rams Hill.

I had very high expectations for Rams Hill as I've read the reviews and heard about it through word of mouth. It exceeded my expectations! I've been playing golf in Southern CA for 30 years and Rams Hill is the the best maniured course I've played anywhere. It was immaculate from the driving range to the greens. I did not have a bad lie all day. Unfortunately we played on a very windy day with 25mph consistent wind which made for a tough day of golf. The layout was fantastic with plenty of risk/reward decisions to really get you thinking about your next shot.

The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My only minor "complaint" was the lunch options. There was only one. We were attempting to play 36 so we wanted a quick lunch but the only option at the clubhouse was the full service restaurant where everyone in Borrego seemed to come for lunch. They appeared to be a little under-staffed in the restaurant. However, our waiter was very helpful and packed our lunches when we told him we were in a hurry. A quick service option would be nice for golfers.

If you get a chance to play this course i would highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity. this is one of the finest courses i have played. Well worth the drive from anywhere if you are close enough. A beautiful clubhouse/restaurant greets you upon arrival and it only gets better from there! all of the 18 holes were challenging and just kept getting better as we went along! I would have to say the course conditions were the best i have experienced in my 40 yrs plus golfing all over the U.S. i will definitely be back soon to play this great course. thanks to Ram's Hill and all of the staff for a great time!

It's sad when the overall experience at such a great golf layout can be tarnished by the quality of food and beverage. It started with the refreshment cart being shut down for the day a half hour after our tee time, with no notice provided. It was 90 degrees out!!! Then we finished our round and were looking forward to the much publicized burger night. We made an advance reservation, got seated promptly and our order was taken promptly. That was the good news. bad news was that the wine and soft drink took 20 minutes to be served, and an hour after that we were still sitting there waiting for our burgers...for 2 people...at which point the waitress came along with her third lame excuse of the day and asked if we would like to have a "10 to 15% discount" off our check. We promptly advised her that she could pay for the wine instead, and we left. A HORRIBLE experience at a premium golf facility! SAD!

Three friends and I spent a week there, staying in one of the homes in the rental pool. The course and practice facility, which include a range with many target greens, chipping green, & putting green, are among the best I've experienced. There are five sets of tees, so distance is quite negotiable. The green complexes are what "defends" par. This was our first experience with "desert" golf, but it certainly won't be our last. The club house/pro shops is modest in size but top quality. The food and wait staff are first rate. We are already planning a return visit!

Heard about Ram's Hill for a while not but was never able to make the trip out (coming from San Diego). Finally pulled the trigger yesterday and I couldn't have been more happy. The course was absolutely pristine with a terrific layout causing you to hit different shots with the majority of clubs in your bag. Greens roll 100% true with no bumps or ball marks. Rough is perfect as well as the fairways. A variety of tee boxes so can cater to all types of golfers. From the tips was about 7,200. I will be coming back ASAP and recommending it to my family and friends.

I Played Rams Hill twice in the last week and it's worth the hour and a half drive from La Quinta. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are immaculate. The staff is superb and the views from the course and on the restaurant deck are postcard perfect. The 194 yard 3-hybrid Eagle shot on #13 capped off an amazing day. You'll wish you played Rams Hill if you don't.

As usual "they" said it was real busy that day and a function went out earlier in the day. More a complaint about people that feel they paid their money and no one is going to rush them. Course was awesome and I would definitely return. Overall it's real nice

Thoroughly enjoyed our round at Rams Hill. Course was in perfect condition. Weather was perfect. It's a drive to get there but is well worth it. I'll be returning soon.

Couldn't ask for a more helpful golf staff! Lots of info in the course. It's beautifully manicured, repaired every night. This course was so fun! Can't wait to return. The excellent reviews are well deserved.

The restaurant was also terrific! Food was fresh, well presented and delicious. The chef went the extra mile for a gluten free request. Wait staff and bartender all exceeded expectations! Thank you!

It was an excellent course. Best condition of any course I have played. It was windy but otherwise a Great course, huge greens , lots of sand but lots of room to avoid most of them.

Outstanding course. Lots of elevated tee boxes with great views. Fairways and greens in great shape. 5 hour round but worth the wait to play this course. Also gave you time to get to know the people I was matched up with. Starter was outstanding. Meets you at the first tee box to go over stuff. Head golf pro was also excellent. Would definitely play this course again when in the area. The restaurant and club house is also first class. When playing this course show up early so you can enjoy all the amenities this place offers.

Since Rams Hill is really the only show in town in Borrego Springs, one is a captive audience. But it's like being captured by a tribe of beautiful amazons. You don't mind a bit.

Tom Fazio did the redesign from the original Ted Robinson track. It's memorable, playable, and all in all worth travelling to the remote location.

Rams Hill is a perfect example of how a golf course should be managed. And it all starts with the staff. This was our first time to Rams Hill in Borrego Springs and we could not have been more delighted with how our day at the golf course went. Every staff person we met seemed to be at the top of their game. From the greeting we received when we first stepped out of our vehicle at the bag drop through to the final farewell as we departed from the restaurant after our round, the staff at the golf course went above and beyond to make us feel appreciated and valued as a customer. There is no question that playing conditions at Rams Hill are absolutely outstanding but on top of it all it was the staff that really stood out on this day.

Not much to add to the glowing accolades for Rams Hill.

My first time out there - it was all you can hope for in a golf course. Perfect conditions. Great layout, tough but not too punishing. Staff was great, and the facilities are top-notch.

I did read one comment about how this could be #1 in a land with Bandon Dunes. Having played Bandon last year, I'll say these are two very different sites. Bandon is an amazing piece of land with great courses - the WOW factor is off the charts. Rams Hill's wow factor is lower, but still wow. Rams Hill gets the A+ for a great course design and immaculate conditions everywhere that grass exists.

If you ever get the chance, do it.

This is a very nice course. Great shape. Sun, No wind and 75f. Could not have been better. The course oveebooked as a large group of players came out from San Diego and the course squeezed them in. Good for the course but slowed play down.They were also short of carts so my daughter offered to walk (3 of us) so we could get out on course. Seemed to be a novelty that she wanted to walk!

Staff very friendly.
