Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort - South/West
About
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.

AVOID
Played the North South combo on Nov 23, 2022. South was an interesting enough layout but had recently been reseeded and was very patchy on fairways. It was cart path only which made sense given its transitory condition. Ok experience on the South.
North 9 was AWFUL in every way imaginable. Layout seemed odd in that you played up and down the same inclines a few times. That might have been ok but the condition was a joke. The fact that it was open and calling itself a golf course should be an embarrassment to everyone associated with the course. Be better to take your clubs into a random patch of desert (be sure to add some muddy patches) and hit the ball then putt on whatever bumpy and pockmarked surface happens to be around.
We had played this course a few years ago and recall a decent experience. This was by FAR the worst value for golf dollar I have ever had. The weather was pleasant, the pace of play was good (probably because we saw people dropping out) and we both shot ok. It was the course condition and price that made this feel like the biggest ripoff I have ever experienced. Avoid at least the North 9 at all costs
Course teview
Would not go there again, left the pro shop and could find any staff to assist me. Not good customer service. I was told the day I played that I could not drive on the course . I am 88 years old. Just finished nine and now i had to walk to and from my cart to ball carrying several clubs. If i had known earlier, i would’ve not played,
Poor overall course conditions
Wasted day playing South/North courses. Apparently their over seeding didn’t take so course was under repair trying to improve it. Horrible greens as well. Cart path only on North which we didn’t know until arrival. Won’t play here again for a while.
Unplayable
Played front nine and course was unplayable from several fairways. Mud and silt in the wash areas that the fairways play through several times. I stopped at nine and can’t believe I was charged 80 dollars to play here. Never again.
Course in really bad shape
Was looking forward to play this course.
But very disappointing! Paid $ 100 for course that looked more like a agricultural construction site.
Played North and South course.
Do not play the North course right now!!!!
However looks like the west Course is OK.
They should not charge more than $30!!!!!
poor condition
North course was in terrible shape. South had been seeded but was cart path - contributed to already slow pace of play. No marshalls, no water, no beverage cart. Played many courses in Palm springs and this is the worst value for the $ by far.
First time
Played North and south , north was in great condition and south was just at it end of reseeding so greens were a little bit slower
Overbooked
Got to tenth tee and there were 6 groups on box after 2 hour 50 minutes front
course in bad shape
the north course was ok but the south course was terrible and not worth paying for
Course is not ready for the season and should not be open yet.
Average
Played the North and South course. North suffered lots of damage due to flood water last week and thus was muddy and moist in the lower portions of holes running along the water runway. Fairways on the North course, holes 1-9, are about to be reseeded, so they are what they are. The greens were flat and slow. For the South course it has recently opened after reseeding so you cannot drive on the fairways, cart path only, so be prepared for that. Greens were shaggy and very slow. Overall the course is woven between the homes and thus fairways are not that wide. Some congestion thru out round at holes, no marshall, we played in just over 4 hours which was ok.
Poor conditions
We got stuck behind a 6 some of golfers. That shouldn’t be allowed.
Very bad experiences, the course fairway is power racking. The green of Front 9 and back 9 are total different speed, a lot of mud along the creek and very bad layout. not worth the price.
Brutal
Played the South and the North. Driving range was closed. South was in poor shape. Admittedly they have just over seeded but there were so many clippings in the fairway, you could lose your ball. The South should not be open yet. The North was much worse….flooded out during a recent rain, was for the most part unplayable with large swaths of mud crossing several holes. How they let people out there in carts is beyond comprehension. It would be nice to use the ball washers to clean off the mud, but they have removed them all. And don’t worry about hitting out the sand, because there isn’t any in these bunkers. The fact they charged us $100 each to play this goat track is the most astonishing thing. It should be HEAVILY discounted. The only way I would consider returning is if they provided a us a free round to make up for this unbelievably bad experience.
