Rams Hill Golf Club

Played the Blues (6369/70.9/131) as a 2some with Rat-Patrol in slightly over 4H on a very windy afternoon with temperatures around 70. I used the Rams Hill B-Day special, allowing me to play for the $20 cart fee. Thank you Rams Hill!

The wind really swirls here, it was changing direction from shot to shot and gusting. I was clubbing up 3 clubs into the wind late in the day.

Concerning course conditions, everything was in the 9-10 out of 10 range across the board.

The tees were very well maintained. Large, level with few divots, mowed down close, near immaculate.

The fairways were lush with few divots. A couple of discolored areas but still excellent overall.

The rough was also very lush. Thick and even though the ball usually sat up, long enough to make longer clubs a chancy play. Get outside the maintained rough and the native rough is lost ball thick.

The sand traps were immaculately maintained with good quality sand. I don't see how a public course in a windy area could maintain their traps any better, and there are close to 100 of them total on this course.

The greens were excellent! Firm, smooth, medium fast and rolled well.

The customer service was excellent. We were greeted in the parking lot on arrival and offered a ride to our car after the round. The pro shop staff was also excellent. The setup of the all grass driving range with the complementary Pro-V range balls is top notch even for a high end facility. Most of the range is sand, with numerous grass greens set up as targets in 25-30 yard increments so you could hit almost any club and feel like you were hitting into a green.

I like the course layout, I can see the high slope rating. Many holes are visually intimidating with 97 well placed traps and a decent amount of water. Four different sets of tees for men, all varied by 400-500 yards. The course was fair, not overly tight and an excellent test of golf. Definitely recommended!

I have played all over the US and Mexico. Nothing compares to the this beautiful course. It's so green it looks blue. I have become a junky for this course. It is a short drive from San Diego, and we'll worth it. I can't say enough about how friendly and warm all the staff are. They make you feel like a member even if you book from golfnow. You will not find one hole that you dislike. Plenty of tee boxes to choose from for your game. Ever hole is picturesque and you must bring a camera. We played the other week with 25-30 mph winds and it still was a great day. I'm so glad that we took a journey to this wonderful course and can't wait for another day out there.

Although our tee time was pushed back, apparently to accommodate some members, the course is still one of my favorites. I hope the staff understand what they add to, or detract from, the golf experience.

The course is in fantastic condition. From t box to greens the course is like a carpet. The greens are excellent and fairly quick and challenging. Compared to anything else in San Diego, there is no contest. Rams Hill is the best.

This course is amazing. I have played here several times and everyone that I have brought has called this the nicest golf course they have ever played... by far! And I agree. I have played many awesome courses in Southern California, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, La Quinta, and Arizona and this place tops them all! Play here and you will want to move here. It's that nice. The food at the clubhouse is excellent and they have an extensive wine list.

I hadn't played this course in 20 years, so I made the trip to play this Fazio-redesigned course. It turned out to be one the best golf experiences I've had in years. My highlights:

* Course was in excellent shape, tee to green

* Good challenge for the low to mid-handicapper

* 3 hour round (played during the week)

* By far, the friendliest staff you'll ever meet

Next time, I'll spend the night in Borrego Springs. The course is worth playing twice.

One of the best golf experiences in the California!! I played Rams Hill in spring 2015 and had such a great time that I returned in March 2016. Once again I was extremely impressed with all aspects of the experience; the golf course was in pristine condition, perfect tee boxes, fairways, roughs and greens, pace of play was quick, great layout with plenty of challenge for players of all skill levels. Mike Setchell - Director of Golf, was very friendly and went out of his way to greet our group and answer questions about the course and facilities. Our group took advantage of the modern clubhouse after the round. The restaurant/bar serves a full menu and has a territorial view of the Borrego Springs valley, mountains and state park. I look forward to playing Rams Hill again!!

Please don't come I want it all to myself !!!

If you have never been to Borrego Springs area you may think you are lost by the time you arrive at Rams Hill but I can assure you that it is well worth it! From the moment I reached the clubhouse I was blown away by the friendliness of the staff - they even greeted me at my car in the parking lot and left a cart right by my car for me.

The conditions of the course was one of the best I've seen in a very long time, and I live in Palm Springs area where I have played over 65 courses over the past two years.

The layout was challenging - no two holes are the same. The greens were in impeccable shape, rated an 11.5 the day I played. The views from this course are amazing too.

If you are visiting Palm Springs area and looking for a great course that you won't forget, I heavily suggest checking out Rams Hill Golf Club.

Rams Hill just never seems to disappoint. Great staff in the clubhouse and a golf course that will keep you coming back for more and more.

The course is 70 miles from the Palm Springs area but is well worth the drive. The course is picturesque and the holes show great creativity from the designer. The rough at this course is nicer then some courses greens in the Palm Springs area.

This course is better than ANYTHING in the Palm Springs area except for the private courses like Big Horn and the Reserve.

The course was in beautiful shape. It was absolute eye candy with all the blooming plants everywhere. While challenging, it was a great course.

This course was one of the best kept courses I have ever played. The views are spectacular. The fairways are wide and forgiving making it a little less challenging than some advanced players would prefer. I would play it much more frequently if it were not for the long drive to get there. We will play it again.

Absolutely beautiful hidden gem only 1 1/2 drive away from Rancho Mirage. The course is in empeccable condition from t to green. The greens are hard, fast with many unseen undulations. The greens are surrounded with sand traps, water etc which makes for challenging approach shots. The fairways allow ample landing, but be careful of all the fairway bunkers that are strategically placed. The course is very challenging but yet very friendly if you play off the proper tees. The best part of the course was the beauty, peacefulness, and the scenery that allowed for an enjoyable game. Will definitely be back to challenge Rams Hill or visa versa.

Must play!

Played 72 holes of golf in 2 days. Great drive from San Diego with amazing scenery which only got better when we arrived. I play a lot of golf in San Diego and not one course comes close to how beautiful and well maintained Rams Hill is from start to finish. Everyone was super helpful and took care of everything from getting us hotel reservations to great tee times. Ate at the restaurant at least 3 times and the food is incredible, never had a better french dip. Fun fun fun course! Already planning another 2 day adventure and can't wait.

Beautiful setting in Desert environs. Excellent

variety of holes. Top condition fairways and greens.

Lots of elevation changes and some hidden slopes

that require advance reconnaisssance for avoidance.

A must play course and rewarding experience calling

for a replay.

Do to the lack of deserts golf on the east coast; I would describe Rams Hill as a golf course that must be experience by all travelers to the San Diego region. Its lightening fast greens mixed with its beautiful layout, make up my favorite golf experience on the west coast. In my personal option, I would rank Rams Hill a better overall experience than the famous Torrey Pines.

This course is one of the coolest courses I have ever experienced. You drive in through the mountains, hit desert, and then see nothing but green. I have nothing but great things to say about Ram's Hill. I plan on returning here ASAP. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to an incredible round!

It was a fantastic day. Every hole is a picture. Every shot an opportunity to be one with the landscape. I can't say enough about this oasis in the desert. Do yourself a favor and come play here. It is worth the drive from everywhere.

This course is one of the best in the San Diego area.

Our division 3 golf team came to San Diego for a week of golf. We played 6 different courses all top tier courses but Rams Hill was the number one track we had came across. It is located in the desert with a beautiful layout with the perfect decor. It was perfectly designed and set up for any type of player. We went out there with high expectations and with out a doubt received it. Employees were all so great and welcoming as well. I would highly recommend this course to any golfer because it is no where near a let down.
