As always a well kept nice course.

Great course layout. Fast greens but a fun challenge. A crown jewel in the middle of the desert that you would never expect. Nice friendly staff

A gem in the desert

Excellent tee boxes and greens, only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was that some of the fairways needed grass to be grown in

Bad Fairways

Looks like they lost their irrigation on the fairways. We were told that they were replanting the grass next year. They were in very bad shape. Love the layout though

Not in typical shaoe

The course layout is fantastic as always, however the condition leaves a lot to be desired. Looks like fungus got both the greens and the fairways. In addition, the greens were so hard as were the fairways that you could not stop a ball at all. Does it matter if you were coming in with a spinning wedge, sand wedge or gap? The ball was going to bounce. You had to literally land the ball off of the green in front for it to roll on

ec1957,

I appreciate your comments and am very sorry we didn't meet your expectations. The greens are brand new and like all new greens are very firm but will soften over time as we airify and they begin to build a little thatch. There is no fungus anywhere. What you are likely seeing on the fairways is areas where ryegrass has transitioned out and bermudagrass is slow in filling. Last summer we embarked on a multi-million dollar project to replace our greens which was done and this year to replace all fairway, rough and tee box turf. When we re-open in the fall we expect pristine conditions and hope you will come back and check out the results of the renovation.

Great layout, not in great condition

This was my second trip to play Rams Hill and it is a wonderful layout and the scenery from almost every hole is spectacular. The greens were recently redone and are hard as a rock, but should improve with time. The fairways are not in great condition, but I heard they are getting ready to redo those this year as well. In a couple of years, this will be one of the best courses in California.

dhorn85 thanks for the review and recommendation. You're correct about the greens as they will soften. This summer we are embarking on a multi-million dollar fairway and rough renovation. Can't wait for you to return and see the results once we reopen in October.

Played this course as part of a marathon 9-rounds in 5 days trip I took to the Coachella Valley.

As someone from the Midwest, this course feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. But start to finish, the Ram’s Hill experience is excellent!

CONDITIONS: Everything is fantastic. There are some comments below about the greens, and I tend to agree with them: it does appear that there is some sort of paint or substance helping the greens look “more green.” That being said. the greens are firm and fast, and a lot of fun to play.
There are some splotchy parts of fairways, but they seemed to be in areas where you shouldn’t be anyway. The bunkers were perfect.

VALUE: Very fair with a deal time. I’ve also heard the stay and play is a great value too.

LAYOUT: This course winds through the desert and some houses, and just the middle of nowhere in general. A great variety of 3s, 4s, and 5s. You’ll use every club in your bag. The course always felt challenging but never overwhelming. It was a lot of fun to play.

This is not a course to walk… take the cart.

FRIENDLINESS: Tacos on the back 9! You get 2 free tacos around hole #14. Get the pork… it’s excellent! And… AND… a cookie after your round. Not sure what kind it was, but it was awesome. Everyone one of the staff members was helpful and friendly. Also, they responded quickly when our cart died on the front 9.

PACE: A little slow, but just slow enough for us to get a good yardage and enjoy the views. Nothing offensive or distracting.

DIFFICULTY: Fun and challenging, not overwhelming. Fast greens, big bunkers, sloping fairways, false fronts… one or all of these will bite you, but in a fun “let do it again” kind of way.

klmgolf80, WOW!! thanks for the incredible and thorough review of the course. The green substance you saw on the greens is a pigment as we did not overseed the brand new greens. I hope you will make Rams Hill an annual stop when in Southern California. As for the cookie, it's an original recipe apple caramel cookie we bake fresh everyday. Glad you enjoyed.

Nice Facility in the Middle of Nowhere

Very nice golf facility, but expect a ride getting there. Nice clubhouse, grill/bar and practice areas. Course is tough (especially green complexes), but fair. Many holes look tighter than they really are. Quick greens with slope and collection areas. Good collection of short par 4s. We were fourth out in the morning, but unfortunately groups in front struggled and we're slow. Would play again and recommend.

A great golf course layout, wonderful bermuda greens and while have some fairways grass issues, they were very playable and actually will be replaced with tough Bermuda this summer.

Beautiful course

Came out for my free birthday round of golf, can’t complain because of that. Very scenic and a good challenge. The greens though were as hard as rock, would never check. Just bounce and roll. Few issues with dry spots disease in the fair ways. But the staff, dining, range, pace of play, views and tee boxes were perfect. Also they load up your clubs in the cart and clean them after the round. You also get free tacos on hole 10 and a delicious cookie after the round. No one does that. Thank you Rams hill, I’ll be back next year.

Stay and play is a deal too, can’t even get a hotel room by itself for under $200 today anywhere.

Really cool layout, but the firmest greens I've ever player

It's a really cool layout at Rams Hill, with lots of challenges awaiting on each hole. Tee boxes are really nice. Fairways are okay but fairly spotty, and still a bit wet from the rains in SoCal just before we arrived. The greens are some of the best I've ever putted on, they rolled extremely true. However they're absolutely rock hard. For that reason they're almost unplayable. If they were at all receptive Rams Hill could be one of the nicest courses I've played.

All the staff were incredibly friendly, and the tacos at the turn and the cookie when you're done are a really nice touch!

tdickie7,

Thaks for the nice review and recommendation. This summer will be year 2 of a 2 year renovation project. The greens were redone this past summer and as brand new greens they are firm but will soften over time. This summer the fairways and roughs are being replaced. I hope you'll be back soon to check out the renovations

Love Rams Hill

Love everything about this course - only exception is the conditions of the fairways. I understand that they will be replacing the grass as it was a failed project a couple of years ago. Where there is grass it is fantastic. But way too many bare areas. Greens and tees are all new type of grass and are amazing. Hoping for better fairways in 2025.

Thanks for the nice review and yes we are embarking on a multi-million dollar fairway renovation this summer that will not only fix issues with the fairways but will also enable Rams Hill to remain open year around. I hope you will come back once the renovation is complete in October.

Always A Pleasure

Love this course. They have changed their greens over the summer and i can honestly say I have never putted on better greens. Absolutely pure. They are very firm because they are new but i cant say enough about how pure they are. I met the superintendent while playing and he told me they are completely changing out the fairway grass this summer. I try and come over and play a couple time a year and we are never disappointed. Back next month but really looking forward to seeing the new improvements.
