Worth the drive

Bit of a trek, worth it to check out, especially if you get a deal time. Very forgiving course, 2 free tacos, amd great scenery.

Definitely some patchy areas, but in that environment in the middle of nowhere hard to keep it pristine all season.

Beautiful course, very forgiving, greens can be difficult

Amazing course, had a deal time and promo code for $93 and well worth it, but bit of a trek to make it out there. For anyone on the fence, suggest going out before they shut down for the summer

Thanks so much for the 5Star review. While the trek is a little long, it's a beautiful drive and we try hard to make the reward worth the effort.

Peter1523190,
Thank you so much for your very kind 5Star review. The staff works very hard to make sure each guest has a memorable experience from the worderful golf course, to the unexpected treat of the free tacos at the Rams Shack, topped off by our signature apple caramel cookies. I hope to see you again soon and thanks again for the review.

What a wonderful review. Rams Hill and Borrego Springs are truly mystical. Glad you enjoyed your day. I'll speak to staff about the dirty range balls and that's not the image we want to portray.

Hidden Gem in Middle of Nowhere!

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)!

Great course

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.
Complete your visit with a couple of glasses of the Rams Hill Golden Ale.

u748930068,

I appreciate you taking the time to post a review. We never like to hear about 5 hour rounds and they are rare at Rams Hill but do happen on occasion. The tacos at the RamsShack are very popular but the stop or in some cases two stops for them do add a few minutes to the round. Hopefully when the round seems long you can enjoy the views and serenity of Rams Hill. I hope to see you back soon and we will always do our best to provide a great experience and do it under 5 hrs.

Best staff, great layout that never gets old

The entire staff from the pro-shop, greeters, grounds keepers, starters, ram shack folks and everyone else all make for the best experience imaginable. When it comes to the track and its surroundings, every hole has its own personality, challenge and pristine view. Course conditions are good have improved since last season. Its a must play course!

Lovely Course, Perfect time of Year

Folks who stopped for tacos pushed in front of us and were very rude and aggressive. We were already waiting 5 minutes for the group in front of us to tee off.

Really put a negative spin on our experience. There need to be some guidelines on proper etiquette if one pulls out of sequence for tacos.

Jim thanks for the nice review and the recommendation for the course. Sorry for the incident at the Rams Shack with the tacos. We recognize that it can add a couple minutes to the round, but they are so darn good we can't give them up. Hope to see you again soon.

Pace Of Play Was Simply Horrific

Have been playing here for over 10 years and has always been good in terms of pace of play - this time, it was horrific and they simply could not marshall the course. +5 hour round, groups thinking they were PGA players ligning up 6 inch puts, people teeing off brom tee boxes they had no business playing, etc. The really disapointing part was that the staff simply didn't seem to take it seriously. Really going to have to think about going back here if this is the new management style.

Fantastic Experience

My buddies and I had an amazing couple days of golf at Rams Hill last weekend. We did the Stay and Play and rented a 4br house through Rams Hill. It was easy and they booked all the tee times for us. Course was unique for SoCal and in great shape. Can’t wait to make this trip an annual tradition.
