About

Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6288 yards
Slope 122
Rating 69.7

Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa boasts a 27-hole championship course that serves as the centerpiece of the resort. The holes are divided into three nines and played in three different 18-hole combinations. North/West is a challenging but playable golf course. There is a good mix of tough holes and player-friendly elements. The fairways are lined with palm trees but they are wide and offer some room for error. The rolling terrain is dotted with six lakes, which provide water hazards on a few holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout. The final hole on the North nine is ranked as the hardest hole at the resort. Although it is a seemingly easy 390 yards, the challenge comes from teeing off over a ravine to a narrow fairway guarded by trees and thick rough.

Course is in Rough Shape in Spots

The North Course is in pretty rough shape from the storms. The first hole has been converted to a par 3. Lots of mud and muck. South course was better.

Only 9 holes open

Only 9 holes open, played same nine twice. The first hole was shortened to a par 3 from a par 5 . I wasn’t told the situation until I arrived at the golf course.

Issues

I did not see the notice when I signed up that only 9 holes were open and you played the same 9 twice. This should be a bold notice not some small button at the bottom of the payment section. This was a suprise. Also hole #1, usually a par 5 was reduced to a par 3, making the overall course very short.

Disappointed to say the least.

You must be kidding me

This course is now one step above Mesquite CC, and that closed a number of years ago. The wash area is relatively unplayable and appears to not be a concern of the Omni Hotel. GOLF NOW should not be booking this course as there are not 27 holes to play, only 9, with one being a shortened par 5 playing as a par 3.

Right from arrival to leaving there is no assistance. It use to be that they would pick up your clubs at the bag drop, have them on your cart while you are paying and then clean them when you finished. Not now.

It appears as if no work is being done on the entire course, gopher holes everywhere, excessively long rough and some patch work greens.

Please shut this place down and repair.

2/3 of course closed for repairs

Didn’t see any mention of course damage. Pretty steep price to play 9 holes, and even the 9 holes that are open are under repair

Think twice

There are 3, 9 hole courses. We could play only one and weren’t told that at the time of booking on teeoff.com. So if we wanted to play the 18 we paid for, the same course had to be played twice. The course we played was basically from one side of a spillway to the other. It certainly wasn’t worth the money. Teeoff.com should credit us some money but it’s a chore trying to get hold of them. Think twice, maybe booking from the course is worth the extra money.

Terrible

The course was in terrible shape. Paid for 18 but when I arrived I was told that only 9 holes were open and if I wanted to play 18 I’d have to play the front 9 twice. When I tee’d off, they neglected to tell me that hole #1 had been modified from a par 5 to a par 3. Basically they have 8 holes open and are charging you for 18. Don’t waste your money. I’m going to be asking golf now for a refund since I prepaid.

Flood damage

I didn’t notice in the fine print when I booked it that there are only 15 holes playable. 3 or more additional holes are either shortened or ground under repair. I played this course last year before the damage and loved it, so I was pretty disappointed. I think even with the reduced rate, it’s not real good value. Staff were fantastic as usual, and most amenities appeared to be available.

The holes that were open (only15) were ok ,3 of the 15 were bad . I’ll try it again when the 3rd nine opens in early January.
