Good course: Needs Renovation

I’ve played this course a few times and I don’t remember the outdated mess of it: the fairways and greens were very hard…lots of roll and you couldn’t stop a ball on the greens. The sand traps were never raked. Hang on tight while on cart paths: it’s like going off-roading. Paths are very rough by cracked concrete, upgrowing roots, bare spots, etc. I’m not sure even a resident’s rate (which I got with a coupon) will bring me back.

What’s a Marshall to do?

I’ve played this course many times before and always enjoyable. Today, not so. The pace of play was horrendous @ 4:45 [not because they sent me out as a single behind 4 foursomes] but the Marshall was totally worthless. The reason for the 4:45 round was the inability or lack of any effort by the Marshall to correct the slow play. At one point we had 5 groups on a par 5 (2 Teebox, 2 FW, & 1 on the green.

Dated Course

Although this course has historical significance and is located in a very old part of Las Vegas, that doesn’t offset the dated & bland layout, along with being over priced. A stream runs through the middle of the course littered with very unattractive trash (“very smelly” mattresses, sofas, tents, etc.) overwhelming any beauty of what it could be. Also, playing on a Sat., there were times we had 3 groups on a tee waiting to tee off……saw the “host” cart one time with no apparent marshaling effort. I will not return

Quality Course

Even though windy and cold, this course is always a quality play. The 3 nines make it always full of variety. I always play this course when in Las Vegas.p

Always fun to play

Typical winter conditions: hard fairways, dry rough, but the greens were very receptive. The challenge of any of the 3 nines brings me back every time I visit. This time a very good GolfNow Hotdeal was a bonus.

Short BUT Very Challenging

With the tips (Blues) at 5700 yds but a 131 Slope, this a very fun course to play. You’d better be able to hit it straight….many elevation changes, narrow fairways, and a few short holes with mush accuracy required. Very good day…..my only suggestion would be Thats need to mow the tee boxes on more of a normal schedule: very shaggy today. I will return and play again.

The course was in good shape for winter play except for greens; they were very rough and bumpy. The pace of play was excellent.

Major Maintenance Issues

Many fairways had bare patches that were very wet. Some greens had dead spots around edges, with one green having 2 large “patches” in it. Pace of play was horrible given they took me out of my foursome and had me play as a single FOLLOWING A MEMBER TOURNAMENT with all (multiple) 4somes.

Dear golferdude26,

I'm very sorry you were disappointed in your round. Please understand that when you booked as a single, the threesome that you booked with requested to our starter that they be allowed to play alone du to Covid concerns. We always honor those request. As a single I'm sure it did seem like the pace of play was slow but our carts GPS tracked the average round on 4/15 as 4:09.
Rams Hill takes great pride in the awards we have won over the years for our course conditioning. Unfortunately, this fall right after we mowed our newly planted ryegrass, unseasonably hot and humid weather brought with it a fungus called Grey Leaf Spot that attacks the crown of the ryegrass plant and is very destructive. Fortunately, we caught and treated the disease immediately and contained the damage to just some of our fairways. This particular disease attacked us as well as some courses in the Coachella Valley that overseeded in the same window as we did. Fortunately, our greens, tees and roughs are all very good and have not been affectedWith all of that said, we are disappointed in the conditions of those fairways and have tried to do all we can to help them heal, but you only really get one shot at planting ryegrass. The fairways will heal later this month when warmer weather allows our bermuda grass base to awaken from winter dormancy and we should return to the conditioning we and our guests have come to expect and appreciate.
I hope that you will come back when we are again in pristine condition.

Lots of sand!

Nice course worth the price. Fairway bunkers are ridiculous......some require SW to get out of. Excellent pace of play. Greens are very true and fairways are a little thin (normal this time of year).
