About

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.

1st time playing

Tight course. Very narrow in some places. People’s property is in danger of getting hit on a lot of holes. We were partnered up with another couple and that helped where to hit to because its not all that clear from the tee. Had a really good day and would consider playing there again

it was okay

Pace of play was quite slow, no beverage cart. One of the nines on this site was being being over-seeded, so we had a busy day. I've played here before and it was fine, but right now, I can't recommend it except in a pinch

Rancho Las Palmas Addendum

This is an addendum to my previous review of Rancho Las Palmas. My previous statements apply, except for the professionalism of the staff. Courteous, yes. Professional, no. We played on Saturday, and returned home from vacation on Sunday. That’s when I discovered that I had left my Bushnell range finder in the cart. I called the pro shop explaining the situation and was told no range finders have been turned in. My range finder was magnetized and attached to the metal post of the cart. I guess it was just too tempting for someone to do the honest thing and turn it in. They have a record of who was assigned each cart for every round so they could have found out who it belonged to. Even if they didn’t want to go the extra mile, the honest thing would have been to turn it in.

Enjoyable

Very enjoyable experience. We have played here before, and for the price, it is well worth it. All staff that we encountered were friendly and professional. The courses was in very good condition. End of October, so the weather was perfect. Not a super long course, even from the back tees, wide fairways, and good bunkers. All in all, very good experience and would recommend.

Another fun round

We had another fun round here and were paired with a local couple. Course was in good shape given that it is about to be shut down for overseeding. Had a wonderful time chatting with the other couple as we played. Pace of play was excellent and we finished in three (3) hours!

Nice course

Course could use a marshal - one group had 2 empty holes in front of them. Other than slow play, enjoy the course.
