Rams Hill Golf Club

Course was in fair shape. Lots of dry spots in the fairway. The traps had loose lips (overgrown). The weather was super windy and pace of play was slow. I drove almost 4 hours and there more courses that are a better value. I would give this 3 stars. The design is really cool but not sure it's worth the price.

I have played this course five times now (including last year around the same time) and this was by far the worst shape I have ever seen it in. The fairways look like they haven’t been watered much in weeks and the greens look like a patchwork quilt in some areas where giant squares have been cut out and placed back in. 18 months ago this course cost about $130 and was in much better shape. To ask patrons to play $175-200 here is a joke given the condition of it. Don’t look at any social media photos of the course- the content is from years ago.

I drove out from San Diego to play Rams Hill. The drive out was as beautiful as the course. The staff at Rams Hill are very friendly and provide fantastic service. Some of the fairways needed work as mentioned in other reviews. Maybe a fungus, I don’t know. I was too busy enjoying the golf and the scenery to take much notice. I will say this was one of the more difficult courses I’ve played in my short, two-year history with golf. There are so many sand bunkers that it felt like I was hopping from one to the next. If you have the opportunity, don’t pass this one up.

A delightful course, but several of the fairways are in rough shape. The grass either has some sort of blight or maybe a watering issue.
Overall, it is always a pleasure to play Rams Hill. The layout, the greens and the staff are all top notch.
I look forward to playing the course again.

Have played this course over the last 7 yrs. Unfortunately the condition of the course has declined steadily over the last 4 yrs.

It used to be pristine but now it's in no better condition than a poorly maintained muni course. On course managment changed about 4 yrs ago and I suspect that is the reason. New GM and new GK.

Ironically, prices have gone up and quality gone down. This will catch up with the course very soon.Have spoken to a number of golfers that have played the course over the years and they have said they will not be back.
Hope they can make the changes needed to get it back in the shape it used to be.

Very friendly staff and greetings. Practice facility and range is grass not turf. Always a plus to have a grass range when paying over $100 for a round of golf. Great course layout with plenty of water and bunkers. Definitely recommend and will come back. Grass was nice and fluffy and greens were kept really nicely

My friends and I have played Rams Hill several times in Borrego . We noticed the price had gone up considerably but decided to play anyway. It would have been a courtesy to tell us the conditions of the fairways were terrible. We played other courses days before Rams Hill and there courses were groomed to perfection. Think I may have to pass if they can’t maintain their course for the price they are asking. Sorry Jim O

The golf course was in excellent shape and the greens are the best I have played in the San Diego area. I wish we could have had better weather. The winds were 20-25 mph with even higher gusts. I will play this course again.

It was a windy day, pin placements difficult on a good. Played course prior to this year and condition has deteriorated significantly. Greens and fairways some bare spots and patches of grass in places not healed. Would not recommend this year unless improvements made.

We always enjoy Rams Hill. It has several original holes both interesting and challenging. The staff are terrific and the after golf cookie is excellent. Recently they have had trouble with their source of water which is more acidic than it used to be. This causes some brown spots on the fairways which were not there in the past. We had become used to perfection at Rams Hill so it was a bit disappointing. It is, however not enough of a problem to discourage people from playing there. You will still have a great game, and the drive down through the badlands is spectacular.

Staff was outstanding in all regards. Pace of play was on the slower side. Lots of trouble in regards to bunkers. Needs to be played more than once to grasp the nuances of the slopes and bunkers. Overall was an enjoyable experience

We have played Rams Hill several times before the pandemic. The course was always in great shape and good value for the money. Our first experience after the pandemic was not positive. The layout is still great but the condition of the fairways is fair at best. In addition, the price is up significantly so you are paying much more for much less quality.

The course turned out to be everything I had read about it. The course was a real challenge requiring placing shots on certain holes. I found that a lot of the holes were slightly up hill which minimized the roll out on drives which left me with a lot of long shots to the green. All thins aside I'm looking forward to coming back and trying to improve my results.

Second time at Rams Hill and about half the fairways had quite a few brown spots. Not sure what’s going on there. Also, if you don’t tee off early enough, you’ll probably not get the free tacos at the snack shack. We were one of quite a few groups to miss out, despite teeing off before 1.

The layout of the course is great, so there is a lot of potential for this to be a great course. Unfortunately the fairways were in pretty rough condition. A lot of large yellow areas where the grass was very thin and many large areas where the fairways have been patched. The greens were generally in good shape, a few small areas where they had been repaired. It is almost like they are just coming off of a bad winter, so it could be very good by April? We drove in from Palm Springs, so I’m not sure that it is worth the drive right now.

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.
