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.

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.

Quick round

I played with another single early in the morning and finished 18 in a little over 2 hours. The course was in decent shape. Playing back and forth through the.wash is the course's biggest weakness. Not a bad course for the money.
