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.

Course layout

There are 3 x 9 hole course. The West course only had 5 holes open. Fairways have a lot of blind shots only to discover most of them have water trenches running parallel across them, so easy to loose balls, creating terrible lies. Greens were generally in good condition, however approach shot were mostly up hill and blind. I did not enjoy the experience.

Suprised

Course was in pretty good shape. Nice pace.

BUT, no water on the course! No bathrooms on the course! No food/drink cart. Unbelievable in

this area with lots of seniors & hot weather.

Potential

So much unrealized potential. Keep your prices low and you’ll have a full tee sheet.

Very Challenging

This cousre is definitely more challenging than led ro believe. Blind shots to the fairways and uphill greens, this course is not very easy to negotiate. You have to hit over some ditches at the bottom of the valleys in the fairways. Some holes have water in front of greens and you either lay up or try to carry over. We played the South and North courses. Pace of play was good. The course is very well manicured and the grass is nice and lush on the fairways. Advanced players would like it. Somewhat difficut for less seasoned golfers and shorter hitters.

Terrific golf course

My husband and I really enjoyed Rancho Las Palmas golf course. This was our first time golfing there, and it was a treat.

The trees are in excellent condition, the layout was challenging. The only negative was the sand traps. Some had been redone with white sand, But there were quite a few with hard packed sand. No fun.

We will definitely return.
