About

Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6391 yards
Slope 121
Rating 69.7

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.

North course should be closed!

South course was in good shape if you kept it in the fairway. Just off and your lucky to find your ball because the rough was deep & thick! The North course should be closed! It was a joke! They weren't even mowing the fairways! I legit lost a ball and it was dead center. They had a storm a couple months ago and it ruined 4 holes that should in no way be open. The course has a nice layout but what are they doing staying open on the north course??

Under construction

I enjoyed the first 9 holes. But the North course is totally under construction (assume from the flooding) and very difficult to navigate, tee boxes hard to find, no restrooms. The price is a bit steep considering how much the course is torn up. If you're lucky enough to not play the North course during your 18, then would think a totally different story.

Don’t play

The course had a lot of water damage from the hurricane Hillary. The course was basically unplayable. We had to pick up our balls and move them out of the mud.

Nice but course damaged

I enjoyed most of my round but the 5th 6th and 7th holes in the North nine were in terrible shape due to winter (?) flooding. Basically unplayable and unfair. We could have been warned about that in advance. Otherwise I’m nice condition and a fair layout.

Wash out

3 or 4 holes were washed out due to flooding would have been better to play the first 9 twice

Sunday morning 18

Overall the course (fairways) were in pretty good condition. (We played the North/South course.) west course is still going through reseeding and will be closed for at least another week or so I was told. The holes that cut through the wash area are slowly being brought back after the tropical storm a month ago. Most of the greens had some edge damage and hopefully they can be fixed soon for high season. I don’t feel that the prices should go up until the greens are fixed properly.

Got a good 7am price on a GolfNow Hot Deal.

Only disappointment was that both the North & West courses were down for underseeding. Had to play the South course twice. .

Nice track

I played the South course 9 holes twice while the re-seeding is going. Enjoyed the round and great value for this level of golf course. Would certainly play this again!

It sucked

This was one of the worst golf experiences I’ve ever had, not only was the grass not maintained and super ridiculously long but the gnats were out of control, plus I wasn’t aware of only

Nine holes being available and you had to play it twice to get 19 holes in until I arrived, not to mention a resident in a blue sedan that was driving by yelled “suck my dick” in the middle of me teeing off, I will never recommend this course nor go back

mow the rough

It appeared the tee boxes and rough not been mowed for weeks. The fairways were mowed, but mounds of cut grass lying everywhere due to length of grass. Impossible to find most balls off the fairways.

Tore up

For the money,, it was ok. For a first time at the course, hole 1 was a joke. Tough to figure out where the green was. Much of the course was up and down a wash that tore up a lot of the grass. On the West course, hole 2 is a par 3 and then you weren’t sure where the next tee box was because there was no cart path to guide you. Some tee boxes had no markers and the you hit off mats at the range. Course looked unkempt and was disappointing for the area.
