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.

Course on the back nine was not playable there was so much water damage that all that remained on four holes was dirt no grass.a discount should have been offered up front will not play there again
Worst conditions ever
Course should have been closed. Would have had better conditions dropping a ball in the middle of the desert & hitting from one tall cactus to another.
Online warning said they were closing 3 holes in the next few days & would only play 15 holes. How I, the days before when I booked we would have all 18. Wrong. 7 holes were effectively desert & the conditions on the rest terrible. Would not recommend even checking out for a year or two to see if they rebuild well.
Do nor play if using North Course
We had to play the South and then North Course today because some wine event on part of the West course. The South course is in decent shape. The Northn course is horrible as most of the holes traverse the huge ravines that were flooded early this year with all the storms. The holes are unplayable, but you pay to play them. While I got a "Hot Deal" from GolfNow, I feel I got taken due to the incredibly poor conditions for half the round.
Wash out
I have played this course before. It is beautiful. BUT the south is the really only playable 9. So had to play south twice. We should have been notified before booking the north was washed out.
Course being repaired
Course should have advised that major repairs were being made to the back nine.
First
We were put out on south/north and really enjoyed south but north was a mess and not much fun. Many holes chopped up with renovations. F
Storm damage and repair on 3-4 holes
3-4 holes under construction or temporary status due to recent storm damage. Also, black tees were not in play. Thus, longest course setup was 6,000 yards.
Senior couple player
The course was terrible conditions, many holes were under construction, just wasting money. We wouldn’t come back again.
North course should not be open
We were booked on the south/north courses. The south course was fine and we were enjoying the round until the turn. The north course is a construction site and should not be offered to guests unless there is a heavily discounted price and they are made aware of the atrocious conditions. Many fairways were mud, greens were poor and several holes were shortened due to unplayable conditions. I suspect the north course is provided to out of town guests because locals would know not to book it.
No snack and beverage carts on the course
The course is hard to find. The entry off Monterey is only available to residents and, again, out of towers would be unnecessarily delayed by having to be rerouted.
Bad value - poor condition
Played South/North Oct 20. The South 9 was in decent condition with greens not fast by any means. The North 9 sucked. First hole par 5 was turned into a par 3 teeing from the middle of a construction zone. 2 more holes that crossed through the valley were also temp tees. The problem was a storm a month or so ago took the course out. That said, don't be charging $99 to play then. Also, no driving range or putting green. Big disappointment. I have played the course a few times over the years. Will not be going back.
Shameless
First off, starter didn’t give us any details on course conditions and no direction at all. We were our own from the first tee. South course was in good shape other than very slow and somewhat bumpy greens. Second, the north course, half of the holes are in terrible condition due to the storms they had. I would have played south course twice rather than trying to play north course. Hole 1 was down to par 3 from par 5 and temporary tee box was so bad that didn’t know where to tee off. Half of the fair way was sand and dirt, blind shots to dirt and can find a ball. It wasn’t playable at all. Third, shame on teeoff and Rancho Las palmas to charging golfers to pay here.
Good Course
Has alot of challenges, great pace of play, repairs going on in North Course but still fun to play.
2 canadiens and a Norwegian
Front nine was great. Back nine had storm damage so a couple of holes were difficult to play. Very nice staff and lunch was perfect.
Good challenges with ups and downs
Awesome course greens were good. Fairways looked nice, alot better than some courses in the San Joaquin Valley.
Great course and super friendly staff
Course is a bit dinged up from the hurricane winds and the holes that go over the storm control are washed out. They are repairing the damage but it's in bad shape. I'd definitly play it again.
Kinda pricy for the condition of the course
Thought it was overpriced for the condition of the north course. Some damage due to the hurricane, but the south side was in great shape.
IT’s aweful don’t play the course
