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.

Rancho Las Palmas

I was told at check in that the tee times were running 15 minutes behind. We actually teed off 45 minutes after the original tee time. The pace of play on the front was slow and when we made the turn, there were two groups on the tee waiting. We went back to number 1 and played it again, finishing just before dark. The course recently had some damage from the rain in January and the West nine wasn't open which might have contributed to the slow play; The staff was super friendly, even in the chaos of getting people in carts and off of the first tee.

Slow!

They were 30 minutes behind when we showed up. Was told by the cart guy, not the club house. Cart died on us at 9. Told 5 hours to play 18. There was some water damage from a couple months ago. Pace of play was so slow.

Front nine and hitting up and down washes on a number of consecutive holes wasn’t so great. Otherwise, nice course.

Poor greens

Inconsistent green speeds, a couple greens hadn’t seen a mower in weeks if not longer. Unhealthy grass, could use an agronomist. Bunkers weren’t even sand, just powdery dirt taken from the wash full of rocks

Washed out from flood but playable

Was not told certain holes were closed and front nine had construction on most holes.was so slow we skipped back nine(has three nine hole courses)) and played the 4-9 on as 1-3 was closed.We enjoyed it much better even though we missed three holes.Staff is awesome but they have work to do.Green are slow but good shape.They did give us discount so felt doing best they could with what they have.

Fun course but nothing special. California rains have caused a few problems but price was lowered and would play it again

Needs work

The track is ok, but needs some TLC. We were stuck behind a very slow group who made no effort to keep up with the group in front of them, no marshall.

A little fertilizer would go a long way to help in the fairways too.
