About

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.

Course layout

There are 3 x 9 hole course. The West course only had 5 holes open. Fairways have a lot of blind shots only to discover most of them have water trenches running parallel across them, so easy to loose balls, creating terrible lies. Greens were generally in good condition, however approach shot were mostly up hill and blind. I did not enjoy the experience.

Suprised

Course was in pretty good shape. Nice pace.

BUT, no water on the course! No bathrooms on the course! No food/drink cart. Unbelievable in

this area with lots of seniors & hot weather.

Potential

So much unrealized potential. Keep your prices low and you’ll have a full tee sheet.

Very Challenging

This cousre is definitely more challenging than led ro believe. Blind shots to the fairways and uphill greens, this course is not very easy to negotiate. You have to hit over some ditches at the bottom of the valleys in the fairways. Some holes have water in front of greens and you either lay up or try to carry over. We played the South and North courses. Pace of play was good. The course is very well manicured and the grass is nice and lush on the fairways. Advanced players would like it. Somewhat difficut for less seasoned golfers and shorter hitters.

Terrific golf course

My husband and I really enjoyed Rancho Las Palmas golf course. This was our first time golfing there, and it was a treat.

The trees are in excellent condition, the layout was challenging. The only negative was the sand traps. Some had been redone with white sand, But there were quite a few with hard packed sand. No fun.

We will definitely return.

Should just close hole 1 north so it does not detract from the rest of the course. It is a mess and when we tried to lay it there was mud all over golf shoes, socks, cart wheels and inside carts. But the rest of the course is amazing! Loved it.
