Palmilla Golf Club - The Arroyo/Mountain Course

All fairways are under construction. That’s why we got a good price discount. Beautiful area. Green are in good shape. gorgeous homes al long the course. Love the Layout, All around it was a good value for the price today. Service was excellent. Was not informed of the mandatory Food and beverage and the price of it.

Overall, I’ll be back to play this course again

Fairways were dirt and burnt grass. Bunkers had more rocks than sand. Forced to play same 9 twice when 2 other 9 hole courses were available due to our discounted price. Worst course I’ve played since I was in middle school - 65 years ago.

Fairways were brown and dry because the Oceans course was not being watered. I was told at check in that's why the rate was discounted. We only played 9 holes. Other than that the course was ok, greens appeared to have just been sanded but they were green at least. Would have been nice to know that when I booked, it may have changed my decision.

Fairways were all dirt and dead grass. Made to play the same 9 hole twice. The sand traps were full of rocks. Terrible experience 😩.

Everything but the Ocean Course condition is 5 stars! The fairways have been poisoned and they are not saving them. The word is out it will be closed down soon for renovations and used for other purposes, some golf, some not. The 9 hole layout is wonderful and it will be missed if this is true.

Other than course, which is why we play, the amenities and staff are great and friendly!

The public are only allowed to play the 9 hole ocean course so for 18 holes, you must play it twice. They are not watering the fairways so they are all dirt patches. The tee boxes are terrible, most not flat and covered in weeds. Save your money and play somewhere else.

Fantastic course, challenging and complicated but one of the most fun courses. Lots of dry gorges. Be prepared to abandon balls if you're off the fairways LOL, the foliage had thorns that will bite you hard.

Play early, cause it gets really hot really fast overall I loved this course!

Course design by Jack N very good but only play ocean nine twice

Condition is below parr more weeds than grass on fairways

Pace was good and staff very friendly

Just the right amount of challenge for a resort course. Staff are excellent. Comfort stations are an added perk. Booking again soon.

I surprised my friend with a tee time and it was the highlight of her bachelorette weekend. Jonny was amazing and the sweetest at keeping us on pace. We’re both 20+ handicappers and some holes really tested our will to play ever again but we would come back 100%. The greens are insanely fast — will say that. All in all - great staff, great vibes and nice driving range to warm up.

Waste of $ and time. They made 2 of the 3 9’s private so you can only play the same 9 twice. They let it go to poop and only care about the members courses. Different types of grass on putting green and in fairways. Horrible situation. Don’t Play here

I would not recommend this course for two reasons, you play the same 9 twice, as the other two 9’s are private. Most importantly the condition of the course was not good. Greens very slow, a some areas were the irrigation system flooding the course and a lot of crabgrass in fairways. It would have been nice to know prior to booking that you were playing the same 9 twice.

I played this course for the first time with my son and his friends. It was lots of fun and very challenging and in great shape. Be prepared to make sure that you hit the fare way are you a wished that you had. We played from the golds and in a lot of the cases you had to carry more than a 170 yards just to the hit the fairway or ball losted. After you finish hole number four, you can get all the food and drinks that you can enjoy included in price.

Grass is dead. You are only allowed to play 9 holes of the 27 on property. This is not clear when booking; GolfNow still shows an 18 hole rate. The cost for these 9 holes is $189. You can play the same dead 9 holes again for $90 if you want… they could make it zero and I wouldn’t play them again; Greens are barely puttable, grainy, slow. The people are great. They opened early and made a breky burrito for me. Free beer. The back tees were closed so the holes are short and easy, but this has become a dog track.

We played one 9 twice as two of the nines were under maintenance. The summer had browned a few areas of the course, but it still played very well. The clubhouse staff was great and the comfort stations were excellent. the right time of year and 2 nines I'd give it 5 stars.

Only the Ocean open so played twice. Staff great but disappointing.

Course was dry but not bad.
