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.

Dirty and poor layout

The course has potential but ...

There are deep canyons with drainage ditches in many places. I'll guess the ditches are partly to blame for the garbage (cups, lids, wrappers) strewn over much of the course. Hit a ball into the mess and it is lost!

The fairways were not mown when we played. Actually lost two balls hit down the middle (garbage to blame her).

Maybe they will clean it up but play somewhere else until January.

First time we played the course. The heavy grass and hills were challenging. Some of the course needed attention but overall, it was fun!

Only 9 open

Was excited to play this course for such a great price. Unfortunately only 9 hole were open today. They did say I could play them twice which is nice but I wish I would have known sooner.

Played this course many times, never been in worse shape. Pace of play was terrible and in the off-season when you should fly thru the course. I left after 9. I wasn't informed that only the North course was open either.

Typically enjoy Rancho, very disappointed this time.

Interesting Layout Let Down by Poor Condition and Service

The golf course itself was interesting due to its challenging layout that tested our game. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The lack of greenery on the course was noticeable, and the condition of the greens was really poor, clearly not well-maintained.

Furthermore, the significant distance between the parking lot and the first tee, with no shuttle or staff available to assist with the golf cart, was a major inconvenience. The absence of ice in the golf cart on such a hot day didn't help matters. As for amenities, the club cleaning box was unusable due to the lack of water.

The service was the most negative aspect. No warm welcome or farewell, just a car number shouted without any courtesy.

With the multitude of quality golf options in the area, I don't think I will be returning to this establishment

Floods, Families, Sewage Oh My!

This review covers South and North only. One hole was flooded out with water fountain and sprinklers flowing with water. At one point we caught up to a family with 3 carts and 4 children and two adults all playing and not minding a twosome behind. We are very patient golfers and love seeing families on the course, but 6 players and 30 minutes later, we had to skip the hole and play on. Several holes play through what seems like a “wash” and at the bottom is a river of what smells like raw sewage. Don’t hit your ball in it! Overall just a poor excuse for a golf course. Is it really associated with the Omni? If so, come on guys. You can do better.

The South course is very nice but the North course is not, going over the wash several times. This golf course also has the same problem as many golf courses around here: no sand in the sand traps, somewhat strange in a desert environment. I would like to try the West course.

Nice Course Layout

First time playing the course. I was nice to have GPS on the carts as it helped knowing what you were playing on each shot. Overall it was a good day of golf and the course was in good condition.
