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.

Don’t overpay

Good track overall, played the South and North courses, and didn’t get to experience the West. Oddly enough, the first 3 holes on the South are in the basin that runs through the middle of the town, and that was very interesting. When I arrived, there were like 2 range balls left and had to wait several minutes for those to be refilled. Cart was missing cooler so had to replace that. Houses and the resort came into play nearly the whole time and felt very similar to our local country club course. Save the money and find a hot deal here or don’t pay full price!

Another great round.

This is one of our favorite courses to play when we come down to the desert, both because of the course (to include every staff member) and because of the fine folks who play there. We have always been paired with great people and today was no exception.

Challenging course. Conditions of grass was perfect

Course is a little "wonky" on a few holes. Seems like the holes were an afterthought but could have been due to some water damage on grass... hard to tell. Most of course had well maintained fairways and greens and beautiful water effects. Fun day, even though the wind was challenging for at least half the time. First time I ever saw a double-tiered water hazard on a par 3!

Beautiful course!

We had a fun round, playing with a couple from the same hometown as myself. The greens were fast and the fairways firm. The traps did not have rakes so we just move the balls out. Seemed fair to us!

Course was in great shape.

This is a nice course, with wide fairways and not to much difficulty. Staff was extremely friendly. I don't see this course as being a premium course in the area. I had a really good buy with a discount applied to the fee. I think the daily rate is high for the value of the course.

Don't Bother

I've played this course many times, only because it's convenient for our foursome.

It's three Nines. If you get on the West nine, be prepared for one of the worst designs... every. It's goat ranch and makes no sense to run four holes through a "gully."

We played North/South. The greens on North were awful. Slow. The Greens on South might as well have been on another golf course.

The staff is excellent. The cocktail after the round was far and away the highlight.

Otherwise... Don't Bother.

Disappointed

I prepaid for my round. Showed up and pro shop was ok friendly . Cart staff seemed annoyed to be working. The tee boxes were not marked out with black, blue or white for the first three holes. I called in to pro shop and was literally told, “ just play from the markers that the course was rated with”.

Luckily I’ve place this place before. I was sent out on my front nine with now pace issues. Back nine was slow play. Over all the course was ok...they had not done maintenance yet for the week and you would think Sunday golf the course would be in great shape. Typical resort golf...this is my last time playing this facility
