Weekday Great

Very friendly staff and greetings. Practice facility and range is grass not turf. Always a plus to have a grass range when paying over $100 for a round of golf. Great course layout with plenty of water and bunkers. Definitely recommend and will come back. Grass was nice and fluffy and greens were kept really nicely

Sorry course is not in good condition

My friends and I have played Rams Hill several times in Borrego . We noticed the price had gone up considerably but decided to play anyway. It would have been a courtesy to tell us the conditions of the fairways were terrible. We played other courses days before Rams Hill and there courses were groomed to perfection. Think I may have to pass if they can’t maintain their course for the price they are asking. Sorry Jim O

Dear u8694606,

Rams Hill is a special course that we take great pride in. We have a water problem in that our wells are high in sodium and combined with poor native soils and the increased traffic the course has seen over the past two years have caused compaction problems in several of our fairways. The issue affects the ryegrass the most. We are actively taking steps to rectify the issue with our water and in the reconditioning of our soils. We are fortunate that our greens, bunkers and tees remain in excellent condition and we expect the fairways to return to meet our very high expectations soon.

I appreciate your past support of Rams Hill. Again, I apologize that we failed to meet you expectations on your last trip over. I hope to see you soon. If you have any questions please reach out to me.

Sincerely,

Harry Turner

GM/COO

Excellent course in the desert

The golf course was in excellent shape and the greens are the best I have played in the San Diego area. I wish we could have had better weather. The winds were 20-25 mph with even higher gusts. I will play this course again.

Love Playing Rams Hill!

Beautiful course and so much fun to play! !!

Was not as much fun as it usually is yesterday as the winds were blowing 15-20 mph with gusts maybe up to 30mph so be sure to check the weather/ wind conditions before booking your tee time! Will definitely be back to play Rams Hill again!!!

An awesome course with a few problems

We always enjoy Rams Hill. It has several original holes both interesting and challenging. The staff are terrific and the after golf cookie is excellent. Recently they have had trouble with their source of water which is more acidic than it used to be. This causes some brown spots on the fairways which were not there in the past. We had become used to perfection at Rams Hill so it was a bit disappointing. It is, however not enough of a problem to discourage people from playing there. You will still have a great game, and the drive down through the badlands is spectacular.

It was a windy day, pin placements difficult on a good. Played course prior to this year and condition has deteriorated significantly. Greens and fairways some bare spots and patches of grass in places not healed. Would not recommend this year unless improvements made.

Desert golf

Staff was outstanding in all regards. Pace of play was on the slower side. Lots of trouble in regards to bunkers. Needs to be played more than once to grasp the nuances of the slopes and bunkers. Overall was an enjoyable experience

Second time at Rams Hill and about half the fairways had quite a few brown spots. Not sure what’s going on there. Also, if you don’t tee off early enough, you’ll probably not get the free tacos at the snack shack. We were one of quite a few groups to miss out, despite teeing off before 1.

Great course has gone downhill

We have played Rams Hill several times before the pandemic. The course was always in great shape and good value for the money. Our first experience after the pandemic was not positive. The layout is still great but the condition of the fairways is fair at best. In addition, the price is up significantly so you are paying much more for much less quality.

My First Visit

The course turned out to be everything I had read about it. The course was a real challenge requiring placing shots on certain holes. I found that a lot of the holes were slightly up hill which minimized the roll out on drives which left me with a lot of long shots to the green. All thins aside I'm looking forward to coming back and trying to improve my results.

Great Fazio public course

Unbelievable course. I have heard a lot about it, and it sure did live up to the hype. The greens were bent grass and were smooth and fast. Fairways were thin in areas but generally very good. The staff was very friendly and the cookies at the end of the round were awesome. Now that I have played the course onces I will definitely be back.

Fairways in bad shape

I was very disappointed in the condition of fairways. Patches, bald spots,dirt, burn out, etc. The course layout is great.They need to figure out how to improve fairways.

Rough Fairways

The layout of the course is great, so there is a lot of potential for this to be a great course. Unfortunately the fairways were in pretty rough condition. A lot of large yellow areas where the grass was very thin and many large areas where the fairways have been patched. The greens were generally in good shape, a few small areas where they had been repaired. It is almost like they are just coming off of a bad winter, so it could be very good by April? We drove in from Palm Springs, so I’m not sure that it is worth the drive right now.

jtarbox,

Thank you for visiting Rams Hill and for recommending our course to others. I'm sorry the experience fell short of our goal of providing 5 star experiences. Portions of select fairways do have some thin spots due to some compaction issues we are in the process of correcting. The small patches you see in a handful of greens is our commitment to providing pure bent grass putting surfaces which at times requires cutting small portions of foreign grasses out. I hope you return to Rams Hill in the near future so that we have another opportunity to provide a memorable experience to you and your friends. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Regards,'

Harry Turner

Rams

Staff was friendly and helpful. Course layout was great. Fairways had some burn/ bare spots. Some of the greens had repair patches on them. A sign near the putting green said the greens were rolling at 11. They were actually rolling around a 9. Our round took 4 1/2 hrs. Tees were backed up on 10.

Surprised by the condition issues

The good

Layout is awesome

the price is fair

The pace was good

The bad

Fairways were cut really short resulting in quite a few burned out areas

Many of the greens showed obvious patching

Had super high hopes for this course given some prior rankings. It did not live up to those expectations

It’s a 90 drive from Palm Springs- unfortunately not worth it.
