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.

Don't go

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.

Possibly the worst course in the Coachella Valley.

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.

Better than the Reviews Say

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.

The course was in terrible condition. The holes were not well marked and difficult to find them

Waste of money no matter how responsible the price was!

Waste of money and time

It has been a while since playing here and have things drastically changed for the worse. West is still closed for overseeding and 3 holes no longer exist. The two open nines are showing extreme wear and tear with numerous brown areas where overseeding did not take. They are now adding white sand to traps without cleaning up the traps first.

Really question if maintenance know what they are actually doing. There was cut grass everywhere including in the lakes. The grass is starting to smell before they blow it away.

Any resemblance of a driving range does not exist. They are short range balls and you are hitting off mats into the wash area.

If you are considering playing here, reconsider. There are numerous other course in the area in far better playing conditions.

This course is no longer on my list to play. It should not be on yours either.

Fun round with challenging approaches

great layout - hilly nine especially challenging in planning.

Greens are rye-seeded now and slowish but still true. Reminds me of Ireland/Scotland inland courses.

We played on a Wednesday afternoon - it was like our own private club - and beautiful weather.

Course was ok. Greens are a little bumpy. Playing across the wash is a bit tricky. But was a beautiful day.
