Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort - South/West
About
Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa offers 27 holes of championship golf. Divided into three nines: North, South, and West, the courses are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/West Course enjoys the snow-capped Mount Jacinto as a backdrop. Thousands of palm trees cover the rolling terrain and there are six lakes that come into play throughout all three courses. There are also strategically placed bunkers along the greens. The West nine's third hole is possibly the golf course's toughest. It's lengthy at 645 yards and it presents a challenging third-shot approach to an elevated, double-tiered green. The layout offers a few challenging holes but it is still quite player-friendly. In addition to the scenery and playability, another attractive quality is that a round can be played in less than four hours.

Front 9 was wonderful - then the turn.
Played this course as we were staying at the hotel. The checkin and front 9 were wonderful. Good pace of play, nice layout and very nice conditions.
Then we made the turn.
Arrived for the next 9 at 1:30pm. The starters were gone, the golf shop was closed, there was no one in golf cart return. A group of 4 suddenly appeared at the start of our back 9(north course). Not just any new foursome, but the slowest foursome I have seen in a very long time. It was an oar 5, but after 7 stokes, 2 of the players were still over 120 yards uphill from the green.
We went to find someone to talk to, but as stated, no one was there.
We just quit. However, we needed someone to call the hotel to pick us up, as this is how er got to the course. Good luck with that. I ended up shouting through a lock golf shop door to the woman closing up. We got our ride back.
So value for the money? No. $90 for 9 holes? Not good. Very unsatisfied.
Decent
Fun short track. Could use a marshal for pace of play but still not that bad. Greens little slow but consistent. Bunkers are crap need a lot of work. Would play again if the price is right.
Disaster on the course
Recent rain shut down 9 holes of this 24 hole golf course. We were told by the pro shop we’d be playing 15 holes only, no biggie. Range is closed. The starter sent us off on the 1st and we tee’d off. Then a different starter angrily approaches us and tells us we’re supposed to tee off on the west course. Doesn’t give us any instructions and expects us to find it ourselves over a mile away. He also didn’t explain that hole 1-3 literally don’t exist although the signage is still there. So we eventually make it to hole 4 of the west course. I can see past the mud due to recent rain, but the greens were spotty and there were human sized goose turds lining the greens. Yikes. Pace of play was a disaster based on the fact that people were clamoring all over trying to play 18 holes of golf on a 15 hole course. Groups jumping in front and behind. No Marshalls in sight. My twosome joined the twosome in front of us to make a 4 some and make the best of our time on the course. We won’t be coming back when there are dozens of other local courses in the area for a similar or better price.
course partially closed
due to heavy rain the days before,only the south course was fully available..the other 9 hole course had 4 holes closed..range was closed due to flooding...staff was good, but no reduction in price...so played the South Course twice..
seemed a little pricey for what we played
Not playable
The North Course runs through the watershed valley that cuts through the course. It was extremely muddy. If you hit your all anywhere near the mud, you likely had to leave it. This nine should not have ben open. Not only was it inconvenient, it was dangerous in spots.
Dirty and poor layout
The course has potential but ...
There are deep canyons with drainage ditches in many places. I'll guess the ditches are partly to blame for the garbage (cups, lids, wrappers) strewn over much of the course. Hit a ball into the mess and it is lost!
The fairways were not mown when we played. Actually lost two balls hit down the middle (garbage to blame her).
Maybe they will clean it up but play somewhere else until January.
New Experience
First time we played the course. The heavy grass and hills were challenging. Some of the course needed attention but overall, it was fun!
Fun course
A little expensive for this time of year, but the staff was great Danny the starter Jeffrey and Juan outside services are awesome and Alice the first assistant is very friendly! and always willing to assist.
Only 9 open
Was excited to play this course for such a great price. Unfortunately only 9 hole were open today. They did say I could play them twice which is nice but I wish I would have known sooner.
Played this course many times, never been in worse shape. Pace of play was terrible and in the off-season when you should fly thru the course. I left after 9. I wasn't informed that only the North course was open either.
Typically enjoy Rancho, very disappointed this time.
Interesting Layout Let Down by Poor Condition and Service
The golf course itself was interesting due to its challenging layout that tested our game. However, the overall experience was disappointing. The lack of greenery on the course was noticeable, and the condition of the greens was really poor, clearly not well-maintained.
Furthermore, the significant distance between the parking lot and the first tee, with no shuttle or staff available to assist with the golf cart, was a major inconvenience. The absence of ice in the golf cart on such a hot day didn't help matters. As for amenities, the club cleaning box was unusable due to the lack of water.
The service was the most negative aspect. No warm welcome or farewell, just a car number shouted without any courtesy.
With the multitude of quality golf options in the area, I don't think I will be returning to this establishment
