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.

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.

Rancho las Palmas

Rode the Blacks on the North/West combo (6288/69.8/122) in 3.5H on a GN Hot Deal. Matched up with Andrew, Dave and Jack, excellent group to play with. 95, fairly calm and sunny.

Course still playable right before over seeding but is getting dry.

Tees mediocre, some had not been recently mowed. Decently maintained for divots.

Fairways mostly lush and nice to play from.

Rough mostly lush and penal. Deep, thick Bermuda in most places.

Sand traps had decent sand and were okay.

Bermuda greens putted medium slow speed and held irons with some run out. Firm and early Fall Bermuda bumpy.

Customer Service excellent all around. Cart staff is excellent. Well stocked pro shop. No drink cart, but there was an open snack stand at the turn. Single rider carts @ no extra charge. Carts have Shark Experience GPS that measures to the center of the green. Grass range was okay with complimentary range balls. Recommended.

Another great round

Course was in better shape than I expected for this time of year when courses are preparing to overseed. Brown patches still very playable as if they were still green. Pace of play was excellent... three and a half hour round.

Wondering why there weren't many people out there. Definitely coming back in the next couple days before heading back to the rain.

Unruly west rough

Play this little track all the time, Usually in pretty good shape staff is always helpful, The rough on the first three holes on the west nine is outta control ! Even 2 yards off the fairway it's a challenge to find your ball and they left all the cuttings just clumped all over the place. C'mon man clean it up, Thank you. And good night now!

Decent Course

First three holes were a swamp with thick rough. Better hit the fairways otherwise don’t even look for your ball. Once you make it to hole 4 you’re in better shape with some fun holes through the resort. Not the worst conditions but also not the best. For $39 a round you get exactly that.

Great versatile course

With 27 holes to choose from you can mix and match and feel like you are playing a different course each time. Course is well maintained and I always had a playable lie. Bunkers are a little bit rough but otherwise course was in great shape.

Good greens. Rough needs to be cut around the greens. No rakes in the bunkers.

The staff in the pro shop very nice and also the cart attendant. Pace off play was very good in the morning. 3 hour round as a single.
