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.

Rancho Los Palmas

Course is in great condition and the pace of play was great. Most holes are pretty straight and the challenge is mostly distance. Nice balance of water and bunkers

Great Time

Had a great time, James the Starter was helpful and let me go early since I was a single and when I got stuck behind a foursome he let me play the other 9 holes so I could finish faster. Great service, will come back again.

Fire all employees

No friendly greeting.

My ice chest was empty.

I had to guess what course to play 1st. No sand or seed in either bottle on the cart. Worthless staff from check in to cart guy cleaning my clubs. 5 holes they turned on sprinklers on the course. FYI, we use recycled water to water courses in the area.

A wonderful course in Palm Desert!

A spectacular day in the low 70's, with no wind or heat. Course was in fine shape. Played the West/

South courses. Some great water holes to enjoy and the fairways were in excellent shape. Greens were fast and real. 1st cut wasn't too thick, and gave the ball a nice loft. Greens held balls hit to them if you lofted them in, but weren't overly soft, as they were fast. Highly recommend playing here. There are three nine hole courses, and you get to play two of them. All are a fun challenge with plenty of elevated tee's.

Great value..

Played the south-north course. Weather in the mid to high eighties. The course appears to be very well kept. Both the fairways and green conditions were near perfect. A great all around day. and a great value - will definitely be back
