Length 6333 yards
Slope 124
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.

A par 5 was a par 3. The north course was in terrible condition. I know there has been a great deal of rain but when the conditions are that bad we should receive a discount or at least be told before hand.

storm damage

due to prior flooding, hole 1 on north course is now a par 3 teeing off from the river bed. Similarlly, 14-16, which cross the river, are in poor shape in that area. West course is down to 6 holes, members only.

Bad Conditions

This course is in need of a drastic makeover. Rough is long, cut grass laying all around greens and rough making short game shots difficult. No direction being given to North 1 tee box which is down in the wash rather than up top. Now playing as par 3 rather than par 5. Wash areas on north almost unplayable as there is little to no grass.

Golf staff not very attentive to patrons. Some are busy at times practicing on the practice green. Starting area is very caotic with carts park everywhere blocking movement to tee boxes. No need for bag drop off as no one picks up your clubs.

Course is in dire need for attention. Areas of rough at various heights. No trimming around trees or sand traps.

Golfers also should be told that there are no longer 27 holes available and that the open 18 are not truly 18 holes.

Too many wash holes

About 60% of the course was good to very good, but the wash holes made it average. Too much up and down in the wash - which went on for about 5 straight holes. Good value at $63 at 2PM and we may have finished if there wasn't a solid back-up at #15. Pace of play was an issue on the back nine.

WOW What a mess

As a person who like to frequent this course weekly at what point is the Omni going to start cleaning up this mess. There is debris throughout the wash area from the rain of last spring, the tropical storm and the recent rains. The range has been nonexistent for over a year and you are expected to hit into nets to warm up. You also need to shag your own practice balls from the nets to use. There appears to be no leadership between pro shop and starter. Confusion seems to be the norm. The north course is a mess. First hole is a par 5 now playing as a par 3. Other holes crossing the wash are muddy and have limited grass. West course still has the first three holes shut down and do not appear to ever going to reopen. The two holes by the hotel are not consistent with the other four holes. South is the only nine that is regular play.

When is the Omni going to change their moniker stating 27 holes.

Save you money and go elsewhere.

Course needs some TLC

After playing this course for years and slowly seeing it go downhill it appears as if the slope is getting slippery. The wash remains covered in debris and mud from the tropical storm. Does not appear that much effort is being done to correct situation. Playing back and forth over the mess. First hole is now set up as a very poor par 3. The west nine, or now west six is hit and miss in regards to consistency, some long rough, some regular, green speeds vary, etc.

For the price now being charged the course is being beat up by groups all using individual carts, not showing any golf etiquette by fixing divots or raking traps.

Course is extremely wet as it looks like they love to water the fairways. Ball constantly covered by mud.

Pro shop does not tell you of the issues with the conditions, cart barn employees busy practicing rather than showing attention to golfer’s needs.

Several North course holes play through the mud

We played the front 9 on the South course. It was in fairly good shape. The back nine were played on the North course that was in very rough shape. Those holes are designed over and through a large water arroyo that had a lot of mud and water at the bottom.

This is a fair layout.

This is a very fair course that was fun and challenging. Besides the first hole on the North course, the course was in amazing shape. I will hopefully return to play.

Nice course but playing back and forth across the muddy wash lowered my overall rating. Would play again, hopefully once the wash dries out.

Nice course.

Hole 3 was previously a par 5. Changed to a pat 3 because of drain/rain wash damage. A little hilly but the golf cart made it easy to move about. Friendly staff. No complaints. Would play it again for sure.
