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.

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!

Definitely way overpriced considering the poor condition of the course. Fairways and greens ok but major storm washout, dirt/gravel bunkers and other rough areas put it currently in the dog track category.

Nice Course Nice Day

Very welcoming staff. Started on time. Obviously course is recovering from some recent storm damage. Greens were in very good condition. Storm runoff areas have issues. Generally things were good.

Great course!

We quite enjoyed the course! The only thing I could recommend is to have all washers at each hole. We didn’t see a single one.

Rough shape

We played Rancho for the first time. I had read previous reviews and knew that the course had some issues. I was still disappointed with the conditions of the course and the layout. Slow play certainly didn’t help.

Half the Course is played in a drainage ditch. They should pay the public to play this course.
