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.

Frost delay

Had a 6:45 tee time arrived and was told 2.5 hour frost delay. Pro shop gent suggested I go and eat something and kill some time. Came back a couple hours later and starter said if I wanted to play alone I could be first one out. I finished in under 2 hours I enjoyed course which is in great shape. Thank you.

Poor golfing experience at Rancho Las Palmas

From start to finish, this was the worst golf experience in the area that we have had. The limited “practice’ range had astroturf mats and no access to grass. The first few holes on the West course had bad turf in a number of places. While that got somewhat better over the course, they still were inferior to other courses that we played. The pace-of-play was very slow, probably due to overbooking. Several staff said that they ‘were very busy’ and ‘sorry’ when we tried to find a better and faster nine at the turn. Their pricing for these attributes is high and we would say the course was a poor value as well. We would recommend you try some of the other fine courses in the area instead of this.

Don't waste your time or money

The course was saturated despite no recent rain and the bunkers had no sand and standing water in them.

The course layout made poor use of the terrain. Steeply sloping, V shaped fairways had a ravine running through the bottom to collect your balls. This was not an enjoyable test of golf.

Save your time and money!
