Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort - North/South

Haven't played here in a couple years. They finally got her back in shape after the floods thanks.

The RLP course has been in need of better maintenance for several years. The fairways are okay but the greens are only average to below average. Most of the sand traps are hard with little sand. Even the few traps that have had new sand added have not been cleaned up around the edges. This could be a great course but the Omni Resort which owns the course has not maintained or improved it for years.

The golf carts have gps, club and ball washers which is nice. The 9 hole south course has smaller greens and in ok shape. The 9 hole north course we liked better and seemed to be in better shape. For the price we played, it is ok value.

The course is in terrible condition, even for January. The fairways were spotty. On some of the greens, you were putting over dirt. The sand traps had so little sand in most that you brought up dirt with your shot.

The course maintenance, even for January, is terrible. The fairways are spotty and full of moles f other animals bulding mounds. The greens' grrass doesn't even cover the dirt in places. The scorecard has no relation to the actual holes played. The sand traps barely had enough sand to cover the mud. One trap had water--obviously no drainage.There was no one at the bag drop. The starter only pointed to the fist tee. No instructions. This course should be embarrassed to charged more than $100.

coarse was ok, staff excellent, pace was good for 16 holes. All in all enjoyable day

Our vacation home is on the property. Have owned it for 25 years. Been gone all summer and just returned. Course conditions continue to deteriorate every year. Just ask some of the other residents. You're better off at a $29 municipal.

Just played all “nines” while staying at the hotel over 4 nights. I was about to skip playing here based on the negative reviews, but quickly changed my mind once I drove into the property and saw how lush the course looked. I then played the south 9 my 3 year old in tow. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly about letting her join. Got her some M&Ms at the snack bar and off we went. The tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens were all in pristine shape. The bunkers were a bit hit or miss. The greens were very slow, and the course layout was quite straightforward, but that’s kinda what people want for resort golf, right? Nothing too penalizing. Have some fun and score. The north 9 is definitely less appealing of a layout, as it zig zags across the water runoff system, but was still fun and in great shape. The west “nine” is actually only 6 holes, it starts in hole 4, but is the most picturesque as it winds through the hotel and as a gorgeous short par 4 and par 3 in succession that both feature water short of the green. Pricing was what you’d expect from a resort course. Overall, I’d give the experience 4.5 starts. Don’t understand the hate.
