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.

poor condition

North course was in terrible shape. South had been seeded but was cart path - contributed to already slow pace of play. No marshalls, no water, no beverage cart. Played many courses in Palm springs and this is the worst value for the $ by far.

Played the North and South course. North suffered lots of damage due to flood water last week and thus was muddy and moist in the lower portions of holes running along the water runway. Fairways on the North course, holes 1-9, are about to be reseeded, so they are what they are. The greens were flat and slow. For the South course it has recently opened after reseeding so you cannot drive on the fairways, cart path only, so be prepared for that. Greens were shaggy and very slow. Overall the course is woven between the homes and thus fairways are not that wide. Some congestion thru out round at holes, no marshall, we played in just over 4 hours which was ok.

Very bad experiences, the course fairway is power racking. The green of Front 9 and back 9 are total different speed, a lot of mud along the creek and very bad layout. not worth the price.

Brutal

Played the South and the North. Driving range was closed. South was in poor shape. Admittedly they have just over seeded but there were so many clippings in the fairway, you could lose your ball. The South should not be open yet. The North was much worse….flooded out during a recent rain, was for the most part unplayable with large swaths of mud crossing several holes. How they let people out there in carts is beyond comprehension. It would be nice to use the ball washers to clean off the mud, but they have removed them all. And don’t worry about hitting out the sand, because there isn’t any in these bunkers. The fact they charged us $100 each to play this goat track is the most astonishing thing. It should be HEAVILY discounted. The only way I would consider returning is if they provided a us a free round to make up for this unbelievably bad experience.

Course affected by the rain...and...

Valley holes were a real mess after the rain, and the course did admit that. Fairways were adequate, but little grass on them. No sand in the bunkers. Overall, I'd say take a pass on this one.

Overall we enjoyed it even with the slow pace of play.

We played this course when 70% of courses closed due to seeding.
