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.

Maybe Another Time

Unfortunately, my experience at Rancho Las Palmas left much to be desired. The greens were extremely slow, which made putting a real challenge, and the bunkers were in rough shape, lacking proper sand and even showing weeds around the edges. Additionally, the pace of play dragged, impacting the overall enjoyment of the round. On a positive note, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, trying to get me out on the course early and ensuring I felt welcome. I hope they can address these course maintenance issues to enhance the golfing experience.

Beautiful Course

We booked online and found it a little difficult to find because the address on the reservation was incorrect.

Once we arrived check in was easy and quick. The outside services were busy due to an event taking place and as a result we did not get much attention to locate and load a cart or directions to the first tee. But we found our way. It was cart path only but we didn't really find that an issue. The course was in good condition and most holes were well groomed and pretty wide open. The greens were over seeded and quite grainy. We played the south 9 followed by the north 9. The south course was much nicer. The North 9 plays through a drainage area and as a result it is quite hilly with a lot of shots having blind areas to land and drainage ditches crossing fairways. Overall the course was quite nice and lush with great mountain views. We did not play the other 9 holes but what we could see of the holes we passed it looked pretty nice as well.

End of summer

Wasn’t expecting the course to be in great shape since we are near the end of summer. It’s very doable when you tee off early. Was done in 2:45 after teeing off at 6:30 am. Dried out fairways, thick uncut greens. Still had fun. Staff was super friendly. If you are a golf junkie like me you’ll have a good time.

So Sad.

I've been playing RLP for 40 years. Haven't been there for a couple of years. I was shocked how bad the course is now. So sad to see it go from a plush, well-maintained track to a rundown disappointment. I feel for the homeowners, and I'm glad I avoided investing in a home there.

Friendly Staff, decent course, needs maintenance

The staff is very friendly. It's a nice course.

The first hole on one of the nines is a par 5 and has been played as a par 3 due to destruction from weather. It's been like this for quite a while though. There doesn't seem to be much urgency to make it right.
