About

Holes 18
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.

Not the best for after rain storms

Pretty good overall, as the course contains 3 holes that are part of wash system (drainage for heavy rain) these 3 holes may be closed after heavy rain. This was the case for our round, golfnow gave us $15 credit per player plus the staff gave us 20% proshop discount.

Partially closed

Showed up after booking online to find out 3 holes were closed due to the recent wet weather. The other 15 were fine. GolfNow credited us with the value of the missing holes.

Way overpriced.

Well maintained simple, short course. If you’re a high handicapper you’ll enjoy the lack of penalties. Every putt is straight at the hole. Hardly worth the discounted price of $80 for what the valley has to offer.

3 holes unplayable due to flooding

Booked on GolfNow as a hot deal and paid through Golf Now. The day before, I received an email stating that three holes are underwater and the round would only include 15 holes. The email stated that the round would be discounted. No discount was provided. I was informed that I would have to take the matter up with GolfNow, which is impossible. Pin placement today was also just plain weird. Several pins were placed on steep slopes. I had several puts roll back towards me. Common guys, you can do better.

First time on Rancho Las Palmas. Good day and enjoyed the round. Rating is good. Would be excellent, except for Wash areas. Was not aware course had "Wash" areas to play thru. Staff was very friendly.

15 holes only at the time

Golf Now failed to up date the course conditions (only 15 holes) and charge me full price (before the $24 discount). Had I known it was only 15 holes I would’ve not booked.

Very disappointed based in the above mentioned. Pro shop called me as I was walking Into the shop to inform me of the course conditions 🤦🏾‍♂️

Course needs some work

Greens were in great shape but the fairways were rough & lots of maintenance work for drainage was being done on the course. Maintenance workers were also in the line of play. Several fairways are side by side & we had balls dropping near us.

Driving range was closed due to work being done. The restaurant was also closed but we were able to grab a drink after our round.

Many Obstacles Made For A Bad Round

The check in was pleasant but that it all fell off after that. The starter was gruff and non explanatory. The course plays over a drainage wash over and over again. Our golf cart ran out of power on the 14th hole and the pro shop was closed so we had to abandon the round. We barely got it back to the start and thought we were going to have to walk in. No one was present to complain to after the round. Employees around the cart return area were talking to regulars and ignored us and offered no post round services. You could not buy food or drink.

Disappointing

We played north and west course. West was an embarrassment-3-4 holes were awful-felt like they were under construction had trucks moving dirt around-what a mess. The holes without the mud were in awful condition. What a waste of money. The north course was in bad condition too. Horrible day of golf!
