Rams Hill Golf Club

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.

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.

Beautiful golf course.
Good condition and lay out.
But, every single hole has a wind..wind..wind.
Hard to enjoy great course. Couse wind.

What a surprise. Long drive from Palm Springs but we'll worth it. Course rates an A to A-minus.

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.

Pro would not accept prepaid voucher, no expiration listed on voucher, required more $ for daily rate at time of play, no limit on time of play, on / line rip off very poor PR by Pro.

Had a great time. Course in great shape. Greens pretty fast on our day.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

We had very high expectations as many people have told us about Rams Hill GC. Quite a few dry patches on the course and patch work on some of the greens.
Glad we made the trip as it is quite remote but probably wouldn’t go back.

I am very disappointed in the condition of the course, especially for the cost. If you are going to charge $150-$200 for a round in Borrego, the course better be in fantastic shape.

I will give them the tee boxes, bunkers, and greens were in great shape. Also, the layout is still spectacular. It is just aggravating to lace a drive right in the middle of the fairway and find yourself in a dirt patch.

Also, why does the drink cart not have the ability to make a mixed drink? Not everyone likes "cut water" beverages. I expect that at a cheap muni course, not a premium course (with a premium price).

You can play courses over in Palm Desert that are in MUCH better condition.

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.

Really enjoyed playing Rams Hill. Challenging, but fair layout. Very quiet, serene setting. There were a few bare spots, but the course generally was in excellent condition. Sand traps were in good condition, greens rolled smooth & true.

SoCal’s hidden gem is a mission to get to but an oasis to arrive and play. Played here for a Malbon Golf Club tournament and blown away by course conditions and pure fun. Book your tee time now as this course has seasonal openings and don’t forget to enjoy yourself out here!

We booked on GolfNow and arrived on a day of 40 MPH winds. We played (as the booking cancel time had passed) and we were nearly the only golfers there. It was basically unplayable. After playing, went into the pro shop to look around and the desk attendant told us they would have refunded us if we’d played 9 or fewer holes. NEVER mentioned it ahead of time. We asked for something (even a discount for a return visit) and were told NO. Nice course, but customer service was bad.

Rams Hill is a course that requires you to hit every club in the bag. We played 5 rounds in three days and it is a course you will not tire of playing. We played the Gold tees in the morning then would move up to the blue which gave quite a few holes a very different feel. The fairways are very generous with a lot of undulation which gives you a lot of uneven lies which is a fun challenge. The fairway bunkering requires you to think before each tee show. It lends itself to a risk reward setup on many holes. While to my chagrin, I was in quite a few of the fairway bunkers, at least the sand was nice and firm and the ball would almost always find its way to a flat spot where one could at least advance the ball. The greens were firm and true rolling at 11.5. This course mixes in long difficult par 4's and then will give you a look at birdie. It is challenging but very fair. I wouldn't say that this course is a "walking" course due to the distance between greens and the next tee box.
Tips: Keep the ball on the high side of most holes. Especially holes like 18 with a slope left to right with water along the right. Even the layup shot. Don't be afraid to club down on a few holes. The ball rolls a long way on the fairways. When putting take a look from both sides of the hole because it can be very misleading when only taking a quick look.

This is one of those courses you will always remember playing. Beautiful course with very gracious people running the course. Wish we had time after our round to enjoy dining on the patio.
The road to Borego is rough at first, not lit and no cell service along the route. So-tee off by 11 (in January) so you can finish your round and get back to CA86 by dark.

I live in LA Quinta, but enjoy making the short trip to play this great course. I really enjoy the layout and the conditions of the course in general. The front nine played at a very good pace with hardly any wait. The back nine however played brutally slow. There were a couple groups in front of us that were playing the tips, by the looks of their swings the should moved up a couple tees.
