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.

South course was very nice. Good condition, well designed (except for #9), and much enjoyed. The North course? A complete joke. Poorly designed, terrible condition, no fun….and then came the gale-like winds. Ugh!

Avoid the North 9!

This course has had its better days, and the West 9 was acceptable, but the North 9 is terrible. It goes back and forth across a muddy, smelly drainage ditch. On one fairway (if you can call it that), I looked around and saw four separate dirt piles. Visually, a mess. We quit after 5 holes. I was embarrassed that I had taken my visiting daughter to such a low-end course.

We were in one of the last foursomes of the day. When we finished, no staff around. Pro shop was closed.

Sunday Golf

First time playing Rancho Las Palmas. Very friendly staff. We were paired with another couple which made for an enjoyable afternoon. Course in rather scrubby condition, but the pace of play was very good.

Enjoyable

Greens were consistent and rolled nicely. Surrounded by houses, but we didn’t hit any. Landing areas are generous. Course is shorter, but driver is often taken out of your hands because of strategic water hazards.

A nice round

One of the three nine hole courses was still closed from the flooding this winter. The maintenance staff have done a good job rebuilding the holes that were affected on the other courses. Pace of play was slow for such a basic course however it was overall quite enjoyable. The course plays through a lovely subdivision with very nice tidy homes. The greens were in great shape.
