Stunning! Worth the drive!

Recommended by several people, hour and half outside of Palm Springs. Stood up to all the recommendations! However, had an 11:10.....didn't tee off until 11:30, as they put 2 groups in front of us, not a big deal but being informed would be appreciated. (the pace of play slowed dramatically). I will be back though!

Hidden gem

A very beautiful Fazio designed course located in a hidden valley trapped between mountains on one side and a national park on the other. If your looking for a holiday to really get away from the masses this is it, in a sleepy town of 3000 and a couple resorts to stay at. Definitely worth the 80 mile drive south of Palm Springs.

Great track!!!

I have played a lot of course in my life but this one just became one of my favorites. One of the best tracks I have seen. The Tom Fazio design is forgiving for the higher handicapped player but still a great test for the pros. Beautiful views and a gorgeous clubhouse in the middle of nowhere. This must of been what the Palm Springs area looked like 70 years ago.

Fantastic

One of the best courses I have played! The course was in pristine condition. The staff were super friendly! One of the owners Bill Berklley chatted with us after our round. The only downside was that the restaurant was not open that day but the the very nice guy in the pro shop sold us some beer and we sat on the beautiful patio and relaxed after our game and watched others come into the 18th.

Gem in the Desert

Yes, it's a bit of a trek to get to this course for most folks. But it does have its benefits. The mixture of mountains, desert, and semi-isolation make for a more pure and serene golfing experience and a better chance to appreciate what a exceptional track this is. The course was in great condition from tee to green, and sometimes you felt like you were the first person playing here. Unfortunately looks like the warmer weather was beginning to brown a few areas. I found the course to be deceptively difficult at times and my having to think twice about club selection and shot placement. Bunkers sometimes were very strategically placed and balls broke where you sometimes didn't expect. Greens rolled true, but tended to be undulating and plateaued. You would need to play this track 2 or 3 times before you understand all the little nuances of it. For what I paid on Golfnow to play here, think it was a fair deal and well worth the drive to play.

Most incredible golf experience

This golf course is a MUST play! Impeccably manicured fairways and challenging undulating greens. Every tee box displayed the most incredibly picturesque backdrop of the beauty of the Anso-Borrego desert. Can't wait to go back and enjoy this lovely golf course and all the creature comforts offered here!

Rams Hill - definitely worth the drive!

Played the Blues (6369/70.9/131) as a 2some with Rat-Patrol in slightly over 4H on a very windy afternoon with temperatures around 70. I used the Rams Hill B-Day special, allowing me to play for the $20 cart fee. Thank you Rams Hill!

The wind really swirls here, it was changing direction from shot to shot and gusting. I was clubbing up 3 clubs into the wind late in the day.

Concerning course conditions, everything was in the 9-10 out of 10 range across the board.

The tees were very well maintained. Large, level with few divots, mowed down close, near immaculate.

The fairways were lush with few divots. A couple of discolored areas but still excellent overall.

The rough was also very lush. Thick and even though the ball usually sat up, long enough to make longer clubs a chancy play. Get outside the maintained rough and the native rough is lost ball thick.

The sand traps were immaculately maintained with good quality sand. I don't see how a public course in a windy area could maintain their traps any better, and there are close to 100 of them total on this course.

The greens were excellent! Firm, smooth, medium fast and rolled well.

The customer service was excellent. We were greeted in the parking lot on arrival and offered a ride to our car after the round. The pro shop staff was also excellent. The setup of the all grass driving range with the complementary Pro-V range balls is top notch even for a high end facility. Most of the range is sand, with numerous grass greens set up as targets in 25-30 yard increments so you could hit almost any club and feel like you were hitting into a green.

I like the course layout, I can see the high slope rating. Many holes are visually intimidating with 97 well placed traps and a decent amount of water. Four different sets of tees for men, all varied by 400-500 yards. The course was fair, not overly tight and an excellent test of golf. Definitely recommended!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have played all over the US and Mexico. Nothing compares to the this beautiful course. It's so green it looks blue. I have become a junky for this course. It is a short drive from San Diego, and we'll worth it. I can't say enough about how friendly and warm all the staff are. They make you feel like a member even if you book from golfnow. You will not find one hole that you dislike. Plenty of tee boxes to choose from for your game. Ever hole is picturesque and you must bring a camera. We played the other week with 25-30 mph winds and it still was a great day. I'm so glad that we took a journey to this wonderful course and can't wait for another day out there.

Although our tee time was pushed back, apparently to accommodate some members, the course is still one of my favorites. I hope the staff understand what they add to, or detract from, the golf experience.

best conditioned course in san diego county

The course is in fantastic condition. From t box to greens the course is like a carpet. The greens are excellent and fairly quick and challenging. Compared to anything else in San Diego, there is no contest. Rams Hill is the best.

Worth The Drive - Worth Every Penny

This course is amazing. I have played here several times and everyone that I have brought has called this the nicest golf course they have ever played... by far! And I agree. I have played many awesome courses in Southern California, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, La Quinta, and Arizona and this place tops them all! Play here and you will want to move here. It's that nice. The food at the clubhouse is excellent and they have an extensive wine list.

Excellent Course, Worth the Drive

I hadn't played this course in 20 years, so I made the trip to play this Fazio-redesigned course. It turned out to be one the best golf experiences I've had in years. My highlights:

* Course was in excellent shape, tee to green

* Good challenge for the low to mid-handicapper

* 3 hour round (played during the week)

* By far, the friendliest staff you'll ever meet

Next time, I'll spend the night in Borrego Springs. The course is worth playing twice.

Outstanding golf experience in all categories

One of the best golf experiences in the California!! I played Rams Hill in spring 2015 and had such a great time that I returned in March 2016. Once again I was extremely impressed with all aspects of the experience; the golf course was in pristine condition, perfect tee boxes, fairways, roughs and greens, pace of play was quick, great layout with plenty of challenge for players of all skill levels. Mike Setchell - Director of Golf, was very friendly and went out of his way to greet our group and answer questions about the course and facilities. Our group took advantage of the modern clubhouse after the round. The restaurant/bar serves a full menu and has a territorial view of the Borrego Springs valley, mountains and state park. I look forward to playing Rams Hill again!!

Well worth the drive!

If you have never been to Borrego Springs area you may think you are lost by the time you arrive at Rams Hill but I can assure you that it is well worth it! From the moment I reached the clubhouse I was blown away by the friendliness of the staff - they even greeted me at my car in the parking lot and left a cart right by my car for me.

The conditions of the course was one of the best I've seen in a very long time, and I live in Palm Springs area where I have played over 65 courses over the past two years.

The layout was challenging - no two holes are the same. The greens were in impeccable shape, rated an 11.5 the day I played. The views from this course are amazing too.

If you are visiting Palm Springs area and looking for a great course that you won't forget, I heavily suggest checking out Rams Hill Golf Club.

The Gem of the Southland

Rams Hill just never seems to disappoint. Great staff in the clubhouse and a golf course that will keep you coming back for more and more.

The course is 70 miles from the Palm Springs area but is well worth the drive. The course is picturesque and the holes show great creativity from the designer. The rough at this course is nicer then some courses greens in the Palm Springs area.

This course is better than ANYTHING in the Palm Springs area except for the private courses like Big Horn and the Reserve.

The course was immaculate.

This course was one of the best kept courses I have ever played. The views are spectacular. The fairways are wide and forgiving making it a little less challenging than some advanced players would prefer. I would play it much more frequently if it were not for the long drive to get there. We will play it again.
