First Class in every way!!

The moment you drive in & glimpse the emarald green bueatifully conditioned fairways that await you & see the majestic mountain backdrop you know you have arrived for someThing magical for which is known as PALMSPRINGS if your from out of town. My 14 yr old son & I played 5 rounds visiting Nana for Christmas in PHOENIX & played TROONNRTH, BOULDERS,QUINTARO: 3 of the top 5 in AZ. The SILVERROCK staff offered a junior rate even though the i had asked in AZ & was denied eachtime. This course is topnotch in everyway; tees level, fairways like carpet& greens true&fast,Bunker sand of pro quality, Routing a challenge&FUN w/ some WATER.Saw a family of BIGHORN SHEEP on ROCK faced MOUNTAINSIDE. A GREAT day with my SON- by the way he beat me again!!

Too much construction

They should be more transparent about the amount of construction going on. I called and they told me it was only on two holes. In truth, they don’t have a clubhouse. Golf shop is in a temporary trailer. Every hole has some construction project visible.

They should be discounting prices. Disappointed.

Great conditions wasted on a bad layout

I want to like Silverrock. Honestly. I’ve played it a number of times over the last 16 years. It looks great, has a couple of really good holes (7 & 16, in particular) and is kept in pretty good shape. But I was reminded yesterday why it has fallen off my list of preferred courses. On too many holes, well hit shots get unfairly punished by the course layout. Between the numerous blind shots (with a lack of guidance from the GPS), fairways that are pinched into very narrow landing areas for most golfers off the blue or white tees, and the lack of good par 4s (there are only 8 in total, and only 2 where hitting driver makes sense for many (9 & 15), it’s not (IMO) a course that allows you to play to a rhythm or with confidence that a well struck shot won’t be punished.

Awesome course

Spectacular design, and views. Just forget that the villas around the course have not been finished and focus on the course. Really worth every penny! Yes, there is no club house at the moment but if you come just for golf you won't be disappointed!

Under Construction

I'm sure the course will be restored to it's once enjoyable state of play but until the hotel and housing construction is complete it literally has all the ambiance of a construction site from the clubhouse in a trailer to the dusty cart paths and lack of practice green. The greens are trampled and pock marked and some fairways have brown patches. This course gets tons of play and apparently people are prepared to pay a premium for the experience because it is very overpriced for the current state of play

Overbearing marshals

Beautiful day in La Quinta at SilverRock…ruined by an overbearing and pushy marshal on the second nine of the course. He followed us for 4-5 holes, observing our play, pushing us on (despite having space between us and the group behind), and once even entering our cart while we were putting to look at our gps display (I am assuming to check on our pace of play). On every hole we waited as appropriate to tee off behind the group ahead. We all felt rushed by the marshal, which affected our level of play. All were frustrated and upset by the intrusion into our anticipated fun day of golf with family on our annual trip to the desert. I feel that the on course staff needs some lessons in customer service, especially given the rate of green fees assessed. Highly disappointed.

Good with an *asterisk

Would I play here again? Yes. Did I like the layout and course conditions? Yes. Were there some issues?? Unfortunately, yes. It's a great course and a fun layout. The course conditions were above average. However, the on-going construction (several years now) is cumbersome. From the drive up (clubhouse is a trailer) to the cyclone fencing (it's EVERYWHERE) to the multiple unfinished houses & buildings just sitting and collecting weeds/trash...it takes away from the overall atmosphere. There was one pass of the cart girl. There was one place to get food/drinks (obscure location after the 8th green). There wasn't a marshall in site and our round took nearly 5 hours. It's too bad there are all these issues b/c SilverRock has so much potential.

Great course

This is certainly a top Palm Springs area course. Great shape and location. I was a little disappointed in the ongoing construction. it’s been like this since at least 2019 and it just keeps expanding with no end in sight. Pace of play was not as good as usual. We had a slow group in front of us that held us back all day. They were late to the tee and slow all day. Usually they do better with this. All in all, it was a great day of golf on a beautiful course!

Fun course in excellent condition

Things to know:
Unlimited range balls with round. Lots of driving to get to range, starter will call you from range with time to spare. There is a putting green at #1 tee to get some putts in before teeing off. I (solo) consolidated carts with a third of a threesome at #1. Have to drive to restaurant/bar as well. La Quinta has some good food options/bars/brewery and I liked it better than other valley "towns".

Really enjoyable round on a very fun course in amazing condition. Great way to finish my Palm Springs golf trip. Once construction is finished this will be an awesome spot and probably a lot more expensive than it is now. Lots of unique holes and all feel very different. Good mix of risk/reward.

My trip rankings as mid-handicapper (everything was great and I would play them all again)
SilverRock > Rams Hill > Desert Willow Firecrest > Indian Canyon South > Shadow Hills North > Indian Canyon North

Rams Hill would be #1 if conditions were a little better.
Best value: Indian Canyon especially with Replay

Disappointing

The presence of many incomplete buildings and structures really distracts from the appeal. There is no clubhouse and amenities are nonexistent. Our cart didn’t have a pencil for the scorecard. There is no scorecard box on the course. The GPS monitors were not on or working when we started and we had to ask for assistance during the round. The course Marshalls consistently harassed us about pace of play even though the group behind us was more than one hole behind the whole round. At a green fee of $200 per head this was a ridiculously bad experience. For the resident rate of $60 it would feel appropriately like the muni course it actually is.
