Length 6333 yards
Slope 124
Rating 69.0

The 27-hole golf course designed by Ted Robinson is the centerpiece of Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa. The holes are divided into the North, South, and West nines, which each offer a unique set of challenges. They are played in three different 18-hole combinations that showcase the best of California desert golf. The North/South is the shortest of the three courses. The fairways are wide but lined with swaying palms. The layout can be tight in some sport and a few holes have water hazards but overall it is a very player-friendly course. Mount Jacinto serves as a backdrop to the golf course, providing stunning scenery throughout the round. The course is popular for its playability but it also provides a conveniently quick round that can be played in less than four hours.

bad advertise

We are sorry but they should tell customer that they have only 15 holes to play.

On the second course missing 3 holes the grass was so long that you lose you ball.

Also they cut it but did not pick up the old grass.

I would recommend to advise clients of there poor situation now.

Maintenance was poor to spotty. Rough was left un-managed and greens were poor on the West 9 holes. The South 9 holes, rough was mixed some maintenance was ok, other areas it was poor. Overall I would not play again until I heard that the course was in better shape from golfers.

Worst conditions ever

Course should have been closed. Would have had better conditions dropping a ball in the middle of the desert & hitting from one tall cactus to another.

Online warning said they were closing 3 holes in the next few days & would only play 15 holes. How I, the days before when I booked we would have all 18. Wrong. 7 holes were effectively desert & the conditions on the rest terrible. Would not recommend even checking out for a year or two to see if they rebuild well.

Do nor play if using North Course

We had to play the South and then North Course today because some wine event on part of the West course. The South course is in decent shape. The Northn course is horrible as most of the holes traverse the huge ravines that were flooded early this year with all the storms. The holes are unplayable, but you pay to play them. While I got a "Hot Deal" from GolfNow, I feel I got taken due to the incredibly poor conditions for half the round.

Wash out

I have played this course before. It is beautiful. BUT the south is the really only playable 9. So had to play south twice. We should have been notified before booking the north was washed out.

Storm damage and repair on 3-4 holes

3-4 holes under construction or temporary status due to recent storm damage. Also, black tees were not in play. Thus, longest course setup was 6,000 yards.

North course should not be open

We were booked on the south/north courses. The south course was fine and we were enjoying the round until the turn. The north course is a construction site and should not be offered to guests unless there is a heavily discounted price and they are made aware of the atrocious conditions. Many fairways were mud, greens were poor and several holes were shortened due to unplayable conditions. I suspect the north course is provided to out of town guests because locals would know not to book it.

No snack and beverage carts on the course

The course is hard to find. The entry off Monterey is only available to residents and, again, out of towers would be unnecessarily delayed by having to be rerouted.

Bad value - poor condition

Played South/North Oct 20. The South 9 was in decent condition with greens not fast by any means. The North 9 sucked. First hole par 5 was turned into a par 3 teeing from the middle of a construction zone. 2 more holes that crossed through the valley were also temp tees. The problem was a storm a month or so ago took the course out. That said, don't be charging $99 to play then. Also, no driving range or putting green. Big disappointment. I have played the course a few times over the years. Will not be going back.

Shameless

First off, starter didn’t give us any details on course conditions and no direction at all. We were our own from the first tee. South course was in good shape other than very slow and somewhat bumpy greens. Second, the north course, half of the holes are in terrible condition due to the storms they had. I would have played south course twice rather than trying to play north course. Hole 1 was down to par 3 from par 5 and temporary tee box was so bad that didn’t know where to tee off. Half of the fair way was sand and dirt, blind shots to dirt and can find a ball. It wasn’t playable at all. Third, shame on teeoff and Rancho Las palmas to charging golfers to pay here.
