Rams Hill Golf Club

picture perfect but had 3-4 groups piled up at holes. had to leave 3 holes early. really messed up our time there

Got a round in after the big summer fairway project. I gave the course 9 of 10 stars, up from 7 stars last year. The greens continue to not hold approach shots and never saw a ball mark to repair. The new fairways, while fully grown in and very attractive, are somewhat tight with no cushion. They seemed like matted down carpet and not real grass. Very different strain of grass. Last comment is about the merchandise in the pro shop, which seemed like it belonged in Monterrey instead of Borrego Springs. Very high end clothing and accessories. I suggest 30% of goods should be more affordable. How about a $65 shirt?

Absolutely fantastic should have played at start of stay in the area so could have golfed it more

First few holes aren’t as nice as the rest but they get progressively better and better conditioned and the back 9 is unreal.

The course was a reasonable challenge on the second shot. Great room to go a little wide off the tees. Greens were very undulating but fair. Course was in great condition.

Normally love the course, but it either needs more time to heal and or some rain - fairways inconsistent on firmness with some area like concrete, some super sandy base and others watered down - greens super firm which is ok for most while others might like a bit more receptive. I’ll be back for the Ramateur!

First time playing, and really enjoyed it. Lots of backstops on the greens and it's fun to fire long on flags and watch the ball come back.

Exercise caution on the first hole if you're coming from someplace cold and you're not used to the ball flying farther in desert heat. Not a lot of room long, as I found out when I ended up in the desert.

Only downside, a bunch of members (two groups) jumped on the tenth hole in front of us as we were making the turn, and slowed the hole course down. We ended up skipping two holes to get in front of them.

Pace of play lightning fast on the front, so this was a bit of a let down.

Other than that, highly recommend.

great condition; friendly staff, great experience overall.

Certain bunkers are deep and can be difficult to get out. Must avoid downhill putts if you can.

The pace could have been better if they didn’t let a single tee off before us when he was supposed to be paired with us. He got stuck behind the group ahead and we had to wait more than necessary.

Returning in 2weeks

This course goes out of its way to make the set up difficult. The slope rating from the whites is 124 it should be 134 at least. Fairway bunkers everywhere with sloped fairways mown as tight as can be. Most of the greens are elevated with the sides shaved. The grass on the greens is a Bermuda hybrid they’ve designed for the desert and firm & fast is an understatement. You can touch the ball and putt is off the green. It reminds me of Pete Dye courses I’ve played. It was an experience but I would never drive two hours to play there again. Free tacos at 13 tee didn’t make it better & no drink cart.

The new fairways and work they did on the greens came out great!

By far the best conditions I’ve seen at Rams Hill. The time they spent over the Summer was well worth the wait. The greens are in great shape and are more receptive than they were last year. The new fairways look and play amazing.

Can’t wait to play it again!

The course was in great shape!!

The staff was friendly and accommodating 👍

The greens are PGA level.

Will be back again!!

New fairways and tee boxes are perfect. Ball suits up on perfect lies in the fairway and greens rolled PURE. World-class meals and service at the clubhouse as well. Absolute must for anyone looking for a special golf trip!

I played Rams Hill today on opening day. I absolutely love Rams Hill and always have. The improvements that they made this summer to their fairways is just short of miraculous. The starter told me that they completely redid all of the fairways with a new hybrid Bermuda grass. It was beautiful as good as condition as I’ve ever seen it, I’ve always said Rams Hill is out of the way, but I come from San Diego and it’s worth every minute of the drive. I cannot recommend it highly enough the free tacos at the Ram Shack and the free cookie are wonderful touches. Incredible golf course and friendly service.

Sure this course might be in the middle of nowhere but it is extremely worth it. For a public course, it feels unfair that you’re able to play on a course with these types of conditions and facilities. Worth the drive for the free tacos on the turn.

The course is great but the fairways are pretty beat up. They are going to be replaced this summer. The new greens are very hard and I’m hoping that punching them this summer along with time will make them more receptive. Can’t wait to see how the upgrades turn out in October.

Great course layout. Fast greens but a fun challenge. A crown jewel in the middle of the desert that you would never expect. Nice friendly staff
