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.

Scenic course with challenging holes, wide fairways and forgiving rough areas

My wife and I enjoyed our first round of golf in a desert area. We played the S/N nines. The course was very scenic with rolling hills, nearby mountains, many elevated tee boxes and beautiful fairways and greens. A fair number of sharp dog-legs keep things interesting. Water figures in quite a few holes. Greens were fairly slow and very reliable. Some water hazards were concrete narrow runoff canals. If you hit one on the fly, the ball may bounce off of the concrete for a nice gain of yardage. There are dozens of golf courses in the Palm Desert area and this is a very nice one.

Challenging Layouts

Starting holes on West and North nines we’re very difficult to find green. Courses need at least one (if not) two more tee boxes. 5300 from Front tees is too long as are 495 and 471 yard par fives. Seniors and women have no advantage.
