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.

Pace of play

The pace of play was pretty slow. Called the pro shop twice and on one came out to deal with the slow foursome.

Decent course for the $

For the price - it was well worth it. The course has a unique design and some challenging holes. The first 3 holes were very soggy at 7am, but outside of that the course was in real good condition.

Over watering and over Rated !

It’s difficult because I remember this resort 10 years ago looking much nicer the conditions unfortunately are degrading. And for some reason there is so much overwatering and broken sprinkler pipes on the golf course lots of paddling and then there’s the wash. I’ve never been a big fan of golfing in the washes here in the desert so I’m a little biased on my opinion. This golf course is on a resort property unfortunately I could not find an ATM machine to even get cash so I could at least tip the staff after our visit the food at the turn was delicious we had a burrito that was prepared for us and I’ve always thought the food was decent here. Unfortunately the course conditions including bunkers and fairwaysI just not up to par for the price. But this is over seed time in the desert in this course is always an option this time of year. The staff is friendly and very courteous and I will return there with different expectations.

Great course

Great course with a lot of challenging holes. Only complaint is that they shut down everything by noontime. I can understand it because of the summer heat and number of golfers. It was still a little irritating.

Course Conditions

The course conditions on the West Course and the North Course were terrible. The grass was muddy, with large tracks from equipment in many places. The pace of play was good because I was the only person playing at 6:52 am.

Resort golf

Course is in pretty good condition for fall golf. Greens are a bit slow, but with my pace on putting I found it just right.

First time at course

Course was dry. Fairway was bumpy. No one helped with the layout of the course. Price for an off season course was a little high.
