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.

Overall experience was barely worthwhile

Expensive for the course condition, Proshop staff badly needs a review of how to treat customers.

Starter very dismissive poor directions and no staff in the course. Definitely worse experience this time 😒

Thoroughly enjoyed day

Rancho Las Palmas staff were friendly and helpful. The course was fun with many challenges most dealing with elevation changes. Greens were near perfect.

Vacation golf

Played South and North courses. South was in better shape than North. Greens were faster here than other courses we played. Fairways good on South course, thinner on North course where greens were also not as good. Prefer South course layout. North course had a LOT of up and down elevations so kind of tiring and plays longer. Beautiful day on the course, so we enjoyed our play. GolfNow rate of $89, wouldn't pay more than that to play again.

Fun day

We have played this course before, but not the North 9. A bit confusing at first, because you hit into a canal and then wonder where to hit the next shot. Played with two Canadians, who were a ton of fun, but also hadn't played the course. Once we figured it out, we had a great day.

Course in average shape. Greens need some work. We will play again on Friday.

Meh

Hard to get a time out here because so many courses are closed for over seeding - got this place - arrive for 715 tee time at 630 to get loose - “no range no practice putting green” a surly starter snapped …now to the course - very very muddy and 3-4 holes are in the wash - flat boring back and forth with tall sprinkler heads the since of wilt chamberlain…weird - greens slow but at least flat and rolled ok - sand is basically dirt…very few water fountains on the course - played the North and West nines (has 36 holes) - guy in pro shop for check in - “ok you’re golf now so you owe me no money - but do you want to get some souvenirs? What, I’m at the ballpark? Overall there are so many better courses out here

Too many gnats and bees

In all fairness a storm did quite a bit of damage to the course. There were many trees down and lots of muddy fairways that made it more difficult to play
