Great course

This is a great little course. Unfortunately at the time we played they only had nine holes open so we had to play the front nine twice. Being on VACATION from Las Vegas we will have to wait until our next visit. If you play it forward, you will enjoy your self more. The roughs are fair; the water hazards are tricky but playable if you play to your strengths. the green are in great shape and pretty easy to read, just get the speed right. The greenside bunkers are deep the sand is compacted. We were visited on one T-box with a herd of big horn sheep....enjoy

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.

Nice Course a& Great Staff

This is a beautiful, well kept course and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The "clubhouse" is a double-wide and the course has an abandoned development around it, but the golf course is worth it!

Better second time

After playing here last week, today's round was so much better in terms of pace of play. We never had a group press us all round and caught up to the group in front on #15. Course conditions were pretty identical as last week. Staff still super friendly.
