Located at the heart of the immense Anza Borrego State Park, Rams Hill Golf Club sits perched on a hillside overlooking the desert floor. Tom Fazio designed the course, fully utilizing the existing features of the terrain from the natural slopes and undulations to the many lakes and streams. The layout features rolling fairways and elevated greens framed by carefully sculpted bunkers. Each hole has a different character, as well as a different set of challenges, thanks to the natural elevation changes. The final hole is considered a classic Fazio finishing hole and one of the most memorable on the golf course. This par 5 begins with a downhill tee shot to a wide fairway that slopes towards a large lake on the right, then you'll face an uphill third shot to a green protected by an array of threatening bunkers and a large waterfall.

Just Fantastic

This course is worth every penny you pay, every hour you drive. It is truly one of the best golf courses I have ever played.

The conditions are some of the best you can find anywhere. The fairways are so perfect it looks like field turf, the rough is green and cut to uniform length, the bunkers are good, and the greens are perfect, roll smooth without a bump, fast, true. There is literally only one area on the entire course that is not perfect and that's on the right hand side of 18th hole by the water where the birds have eaten the grass down to thin lies.

The layout is fun (great holes), challenging (hard fast greens, undulating, can play long depending upon your tees), fair (mostly wide, generous fairways), interesting (plenty of water, bunkers, waste areas, difficult sloping around greens) - a great track. Scenic on every hole, awesome mountain views in the backdrop.

The range is awesome - ProV1 practice balls, plenty of room to hit every club in the bag, off perfect grass.

The clubhouse is small but new, quaint, in great repair with a cool little restaurant and great outdoor lounge area overlooking the course.

It is truly a hidden gem, amazing experience, one of the best golf experiences I've ever had.

The only thing of any concern here is the wind. It can pick up and swoop down off the mountains with short notice, and suddenly be playing in 30+ mph winds. This has happened to us twice here - where around 3p the winds came up and it was impossible to play (and score) the rest of the way.

Not as good as it used to be to be

We’ve played at Rams Hill for several years and always love coming. This Fazio design is fun to play but in recent years playing conditions have declined in a big way. No more overseeding the fairways due to the decision to plant a new type of grass. The lies are too tight and the ball rolls from one side of the fairway to the other. The greens are hit and miss. Use to be fast but not any more. Very sorry to see what use to be a top 100 golf course in decline. We decided to go elsewhere next year.

The staff are excellent both inside and out and the service was great but once on the golf course, it gets disappointing.

Great course, poor greens currently

The greens were long, sand papery and inconsistent. Some pins were not fresh cut, day old. Wasn’t worth the trip in these conditions.

Gorgeous setting and layout BUT

The greens were very poor for the price. They had been punched and sanded and they didn’t tell us ahead of time. Disappointing to drive from Palm Springs for 90 minutes to experience greens that were below average.

Fabulous staff!

We arrived at Ram Hills Golf Club in Borrego Springs all the way from Toronto for a 3-day golf clinic — only to discover that our clubs didn’t make it with us. Not exactly the start we had imagined!

Bob, Anna, Ben, and the entire team at Ram Hills immediately stepped in and went above and beyond to help. They quickly arranged rental clubs, shoes, and everything we needed to get on the course without missing a beat. Their understanding, kindness, and genuine desire to help turned a stressful situation into a positive experience.

The staff at this club are an enormous asset. We are incredibly grateful for how well they took care of us. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

Spectacular

The grass has been changed since I first played this course (to make it better in the heat of the desert). The change has made an awesome course even better. Greens are very fast but also very true. Loved the change and the fact that this was my 2nd time back in the area and first choice to play should say it all. Not to be missed.

Rams HIll

The course was fun to play. Very challenging and in excellent condition. The starter was great, and gave us some very good tips for specific holes. Great course to play and I would love to play it again.

Rams Hill is BACK!

We used to play Rams Hill a bunch back in 2020 2021, the conditions got a little bit suspect in 2022, so we stopped going for a few years, but we had heard they had redone all of the grass and so we took another shot last weekend. It was immaculate!! Greens were perfect. No bumps running fast. Fairways and Rough were great, all in all it was as good as I’ve ever seen it there. the layout is amazing, the service is top-notch, the clubhouse is great, the food is great. It’s better value than anything. You can play in Palm Springs or Palm Desert, highly recommend to check it out if you’ve never been.

Rams Hill Just WOW

This is one of the most spectacular courses I have played, from arrival to completion it is a first-class experience. Being greeted and set up on a cart right when you show up, the pro shop is nicely stocked with just about anything you could need, and everyone is very helpful. The driving range is off the grass, stocked with Titleist Pro V’s, has club washing stations, and a few range finders to find the yardage of the many targets to aim at. Course conditions were superb, the ground is firm, so the greens don’t seem to get torn up by ball marks, making them flawless, but fast and very undulating. The scenery is beautiful and vast, I was fortunate to play 2 days with day 1 bringing 30-40 mph winds, but almost completely calm the next day, I guess you never know what you are going to get. This course is something special, even more so for me because I got a hole in one on hole #10! Shout out to the Head Pro Bob for sending me my hole in 1 flag, Ben in the pro shop, and Blanca in the Ram shack.

Great Course

Course I really good shape. Greens rolled thru around 10.5. no bare spots anywhere on course. Fairways plush. Rough was deep. Complimentary cookies at start and end of round along with shaved ice at the turn. Mid 90s weather but lots of water on the course. Very friendly staff.
