La Casa del Zorro Resort and Spa

The course is tough from tee to green and requires the mastering of all your clubs in the bag. The bunkers are perfectly positioned and there are plenty. The green are difficult to read and play. Course condition was excellent and you can only have an excellent time at Ram‘s Hill.

Enchanting day.

Weather great wind perfect.

Layout outstanding.

Only negative range balls not clean.

Amazing golf course. Best course I have played in a long time. Tees, fairways, fast firm greens after all the rain. Absolutely perfect playing conditions

Bob and Carla are absolute top notch staff that deserve recognition. There was another gentleman behind the pro shop counter who was fantastic as well but I did not catch his name. All are very respectful, accommodating, and people any club would want to represent the course whether they’ve played there a million times, or their first.

I almost didn't play this because some reviews said not for beginners. I play from the forward tees and this course was very doable for me. In fact, I had one of my better scores. The layout is interesting and challenging. Choose your tees wisely. I played with two guys who hit from the tips. They swere good golfers who knew what they were doing, and hit mostly bogeys and some pars. So know your skill level and play from the right tees. The greens played VERY fast until the last hole, which was really slow. We were lucky with the weather which was perfect and not windy.

There were definitely patches of dirt in the fairways, which was disappointing for a course of this quality. I got a hot deal for $115 less the $10 golfpass credit brought my total to $105. I wouldn't want to pay much more than that because I've played better courses for much less than Ram's HIll full price (e.g., Black Jack's in Texas, Black Mesa in NM, Coeur d'Alene resort in Idaho).

Then there's the Ram Shack at the turn. Only thing better than a good taco is a free taco and these are loaded with enough meat to make 8 tacos. The cookie at the end is a nice touch.

I would play again if I am in the area and got a hot deal. Would not necessarily drive out of my way to play this course.

Course had a few rough spots, but the layout is as good as the PGA West courses. Played gold tees and had a lot of 180-210 yard shots into the greens. A good challenge, but nothing impossible. Greens are multi tiered, but so wide that you can’t really short side yourself. Tee shots required precision as there were lots of strategic fairway bunkers. Fun course, but out of the way for most people. Still think it’s worth the price (and travel)!

I have been wanting to come out to this course for some time. I booked a Stay-and-Play package. We stayed at the Nook and were very pleased with the comfort of the accommodations.

THE COURSE:

This is a jewel of a layout, just the right amount of difficulty. The condition of the course was perfect, from tee to green I was continually commenting on the near perfect aspects of the course. My congratulations to the crew that has made this a very special jewel in the desert. We played two days and definitely the second day I was picking different lines off the tee box.

THE STAFF:

I want to make sure to point out the stellar service received while on property. First and foremost I want to give a huge shoutout to Chantel the restaurant manager. She has a keen sense of detail and made sure that we were taken care of. She exemplifies services and she set the tone for an amazing weekend. Next is Bill (Mr. Canada), he was one of the best and most personable starters I have encountered. You could tell that he loved his role in our amazing experience. Carla in the Pro Shop continued the experience. Super nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. Last but not least, the resident mixologist Ron made sure to mix amazing cocktails and share knowledge of the area.

THE TAKEAWAY:

Plan a stay and play package out in the desert at this Jewel. You will not be disappointed. Thanks to everyone for making this an epic experience.

Let me set the stage. My wife and I decided to book a Play and Stay package. We stayed at the Nook and were very comfortable. The accommodations were top notch. We booked two rounds and also had plans for dinner at the club.

The Course:

This is an epic track, the course was in immaculate condition and every shot played was from a lush tee box or fairway. The greens rolled perfectly. The course is a fair test with options. After playing the first day I could think my way around the course a bit better. I look forward to coming back and matching my game against the course.

The Experience:

From the first tee to the 19th hole, the.people are what made this a one of a kind experience.

First off I would like to call out the exceptional food at the club but overshadowing the great food was Chantal the restaurant manager. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and this level of service is to be applauded. Next I would like to call out Ron, the amazing bartender who absolutely know how to mix a drink. Super personable and the views from the bar are exceptional. The pro shop is stocked full of great items and the Carla was fantastic. The starter on Saturday was a gentleman name Bill I believe (from Canada). One of the best starters in the business. Oh, can’t forget the Ram Shack and the amazing service and complimentary tacos. Perfect for a day on the course.

The overall theme of this adventure was that every person on that facility went out of there way to make sure you enjoyed the experience. We will be back soon and I can’t wait to get a guys weekend together as well at this jewel in the desert. Thank you all for such an amazing experience.

Played Rams Hill for first time: exceeded high expectations. Very relaxed but efficient service on arrival. Excellent practice facilities with ProV1 ballls.

Course has been set up beautifully by Tom Fazio with challenges for higher and lower handicap players.

Course was in excellent condition when we visited in December. Tees and fairways were great to play from. Bunkers were properly filled and properly raked by green staff. Greens were well contoured with plenty of challenging pin positions and the playing surface was true, consistent and fast.
