Rams Hill Golf Club

Course is amazing. Little windy but super fun. Food is great and free tacos at the turn. Can’t wait to go back

I have been wanting to come out to this course for some time. I booked a Stay-and-Play package. We stayed at the Nook and were very pleased with the comfort of the accommodations.
THE COURSE:
This is a jewel of a layout, just the right amount of difficulty. The condition of the course was perfect, from tee to green I was continually commenting on the near perfect aspects of the course. My congratulations to the crew that has made this a very special jewel in the desert. We played two days and definitely the second day I was picking different lines off the tee box.
THE STAFF:
I want to make sure to point out the stellar service received while on property. First and foremost I want to give a huge shoutout to Chantel the restaurant manager. She has a keen sense of detail and made sure that we were taken care of. She exemplifies services and she set the tone for an amazing weekend. Next is Bill (Mr. Canada), he was one of the best and most personable starters I have encountered. You could tell that he loved his role in our amazing experience. Carla in the Pro Shop continued the experience. Super nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. Last but not least, the resident mixologist Ron made sure to mix amazing cocktails and share knowledge of the area.
THE TAKEAWAY:
Plan a stay and play package out in the desert at this Jewel. You will not be disappointed. Thanks to everyone for making this an epic experience.

Let me set the stage. My wife and I decided to book a Play and Stay package. We stayed at the Nook and were very comfortable. The accommodations were top notch. We booked two rounds and also had plans for dinner at the club.
The Course:
This is an epic track, the course was in immaculate condition and every shot played was from a lush tee box or fairway. The greens rolled perfectly. The course is a fair test with options. After playing the first day I could think my way around the course a bit better. I look forward to coming back and matching my game against the course.
The Experience:
From the first tee to the 19th hole, the.people are what made this a one of a kind experience.
First off I would like to call out the exceptional food at the club but overshadowing the great food was Chantal the restaurant manager. She went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and this level of service is to be applauded. Next I would like to call out Ron, the amazing bartender who absolutely know how to mix a drink. Super personable and the views from the bar are exceptional. The pro shop is stocked full of great items and the Carla was fantastic. The starter on Saturday was a gentleman name Bill I believe (from Canada). One of the best starters in the business. Oh, can’t forget the Ram Shack and the amazing service and complimentary tacos. Perfect for a day on the course.

The overall theme of this adventure was that every person on that facility went out of there way to make sure you enjoyed the experience. We will be back soon and I can’t wait to get a guys weekend together as well at this jewel in the desert. Thank you all for such an amazing experience.

This is one of my favorite courses in SoCal, the course is in great condition and they continue to make improvements around the course each year (without interrupting play).
It’s a great layout that gives it a fun challenge for all levels of golfers (in my humble 6hcp opinion). We stayed at the House on the Hill and I can’t recommend it enough. The house sits right above the 15th tee box with amazing views and it’s got everything you need for a fun golf trip with your favorite people. Can’t wait to come back!

This is my third year returning to Rams Hill. It never lets me down. Every detail is very fine. The clubhouse, the practice areas, the golf course, the food drink and staff are all 1st Class. I highly recommend a trip out to this gem.

This course was amazing! It is certainly not for beginners, the course layout was amazing but tough! Really fun to play the slopes in your advantage and the greens were incredibly fast and ungulating. I’ve played many many courses in the Coachella valley area and this course is by far a top 3 course in the area! It is a little pricey but worth the expense. Staff were very friendly and helpful as it was my first time at Rams Hill.

First time playing that course on a friend’s recommandation. The layout, the quality of the course, perfectly manicured, the viewpoints, the well organized driving range and the friendly staff, everything in place to make for a Fantastic day at the Rams Hill golf course.

Do I recommend it. Without a doubt. If you have as much fun as we had, you will have a blast…….Oh !!! And don‘t forget to taste the excellent burritos that are provided complimentary at the 14th hole if I recall correctly.

Loved the course, great layout. Was in decent condition after just re-opening for the year. Cart path only was a bit of a drag, and really effected pace of play. Got a good rate on Golf Now, otherwise I think it would be overpriced!!

Nice to see the conditions much better at my favorite course in SoCal. Played a couple of times last season and saw the struggles with the fairways but the strength of the design and layout has always made it enjoyable. The course now is getting back to the conditions of 2-3 years ago and things are good. Friendliest staff in SoCal. Golf Pro Bob, is a keeper.

I’ve been playing Rams Hill a couple times a year since 2018. What was once a hidden gem has now been found. Once they began marketing the course many have found it. It’s my favorite course in SoCal and it never disappoints. The course is in much better shape since the work on the fairways over the summer. Cart paths only for the first 2 weeks made the pace a little slow but it will help the new ryegrass mature. Can’t wait to come back. Trips scheduled for January and will try in the spring. Really want to play in the Clash this year.

I've played Rams Hill for a few seasons now. Course was in pretty good shape. Was not 100% perfect but you can tell it will get better as the season goes on and the overseed grows in a bit. A couple putting greens need to wake up a bit from summer in a few spots but overall good. Very fun layout with great views. Hard to find decent golf anywhere for less than $200 now, so I think the cost to play was reasonable.

Played the first 2 opening days. The golf course used to be in such pristine condition, but it was average, or pretty good at best. After reading the marketing emails about the fairways being redone, we had such high expectations, but it looks like a repeat of last year with bad spots in the fairways, and a few greens with issues.

This course is NO LONGER a top 100 or top 5 in California. They can't seem to get back to where they were 3+ years ago. The staff basically says the superintendent just isn't that good. The GM should look to lower the rates or hire someone who can return this course to it's glory. It's still fine to play because the weather is nice, scenery is wonderful, and holes are challenging, but still could be better.

Rams Hill is my favorite course. I have played it for several years now, and these are the worst conditions I’ve ever seen there. For the price of the greens fees, the course conditions are very disappointing. It’s a fantastic layout, I really hope they can find a way to get the course back in shape. It’s been declining for the past 3 years, such a shame to see it in this condition. Everything else is great!

Fairways r drying out due to temps going up! Love the course & staff. Definitely will b back!!

Loved Ram's Hill. You feel like you are completely off the grid once you get out to the location. It's a haul to get there but definitely worth it, especially for a multi day golf trip. If you have a big group I highly recommend getting the "House on The Hill". The course had a few fairway brown spots but to be expected this time of year and with the current water situation in that part of California. It had no impact whatsoever on the quality of play, and the greens & tee boxes were in tip top shape. What stands out the most is the friendliness of the staff. They really took good care of our group. Will definitely be back.

Greens were O.K. but the tees and fairways were burnt out, little to no grass in many areas. Hardpan ground in many areas. Paid $155.00 for a round and felt that the price was an insulting rip-off to be charging that much money in the middle of May for a desert course in this poor of a condition. Just played Eagle Falls in Indio for $65.00 and Sun City Palm Desert for $43.00 in the prior week and both were in nice condition for a much lower cost. Rams Hill advertises that it is the 3rd ranked course in California after Pebble Beach and Spyglass. For a course to makes this claim and charge top dollar for such poor course conditions is insulting.

In 20 years of golf around palm desert these were the worst fairways I had ever seen.
Four years ago the course was fantastic, not now.
I get that conditions sometimes deteriorate and it takes effort to bring the course back.
OK then stop asking the public to pay $200.00 for a course that now would not rank in the top 100 California golf courses.
Very professional staff.
