Loved the layout and challenge
The greens were fast, firm, large, and in great shape. Loved the way they are tiered and protected by sand and false fronts.
Great Resort Course!
Have played many times, including the original course about 30 years ago.
The course is a great layout. Fairways and tee boxes were fantastic, greens are fast but looks like the new turf that doesn’t hold greens at all; in fact, we were warned by the shop staff about the speed.
The course is a long way from everything and so the regular price is probably too high so look for specials.
But it is a great course to play with friendly staff and great food.
Very disappointing
Based on all the reviews, we were very excited to try out Rams Hill. We drove down from Palm Springs, landed at the course and went to the putting green. Immediately, you could see a few things weren't as good as all the previous reviews had indicated. There were obvious brown patches as we looked down the first fairway, and the practive green was like painted old school artificial turf. Unfortunately this was pretty common for the entire round. There were number ous dead spots in the fairways - particularly on the front nine - some even roped off. On multiple occasions I had to move my ball off dead areas in the middle of the fairway. While not the worst thing in the world - not what you'd expect at the price point. To be fair, if you did find any green grass on the course you were pretty much guaranteed a fantastic lie.
As for the greens, they were like painted concrete. Unless you are a superstar with your irons, it's almost impossible to stay below the hole unless you land well short of the green. Luckliy there are a lot of backstops that will bring a long shot back towards the hole. The greens are so tight, it's like putting on that old school astroturf carpeting, and they have colorized them to look green. They did roll very true and there was barely a bounce to be found - but if you don't stay below the hole, a 2-putt is a good outcome.
The staff were mostly pleasant, the starter in particular, but nowhere near the glowing reviews of previous posters. The tacos at 14 - meh. But when you are in the middle of a 5 hour round, you take what you can get.
This course should NEVER take five hours to play. The fairways are for the most part open and generous. Didn't have to look for a ball once. You should be able to get in and out in 4 hours. But, with no marshall, and a foursome two groups ahead of us who thought they were Arnie and Jack and greens, bam - 5 hour round.
Overall, just a very disappointing experience. Based on all the reviews, we thought this would just be a homerun. But unfortunately, the fairways and greens made this the weakest of the 9 courses we have played on our trip to San Diego and Palm Springs. The layout really is fantastic though, and if the fairways and greens were in better shape, it would have been an awesome experience.
We had such high hopes and really felt Rams Hill was the worst bang for our buck on the trip.
Rocklobster, I'm very sorry we didn't meet your expectations.. We take great pride in providing great experiences for our customers. This past summer we put in all new greens as a part of a 2-year multimillion dollar re-grassing plan. This summer we will convert all fairways and roughs to a new variety of bermudagrass as our commitment to providing the best playing conditions possible is a core value of our Team. Again, I'm sorry we failed to meet your expectations and hope that you will give us another opportunity. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions.

Great course
Awesome course. Weather was very windy.
Greens very fast, undulating making putting very challenging in wind.
Great course
Challenging course. Nice condition. Friendly staff. Pace of play is slow.

Good layout but greens are new
Fun but greens are new so very difficult to hold an approach
martinjr thanks for the review and the recommendation. As you mentioned the new greens are very firm but putt tremendously. They will soften over time as all new greens do. I hope to see you back at Rams Hill soon.

Great Course!!! Worth the Drive!!!
Played Rams Hill a couple days after Xmas.
It’s a trek out there, especially if you’re not staying out there overnight. It took about 90 minutes to drive the 65ish miles it is from Rancho Bernardo to the course. No traffic though and it’s a relatively enjoyable drive.
It was well worth the drive though. Everyone, without exception, from the guard at the gate, to the pro shop guys, to the starter(Joe I believe his name was), to the cart barn guy, and everyone in between, was friendly, helpful and a genuine pleasure to cross paths with.
I went out in the second “group” as a single. After the second or third hole I never saw the twosome ahead of me, and I never saw the group behind me. Finished 18 in a little over 3 hours.
Course was in great shape. I was told they had just redone the greens over the summer, so they were a little quick, but nothing ridiculous though. No bare spots in the fairways and the tees were level and in good shape. The design/layout of the course is fun. Little bit of elevation change. Some short par 4s and nice par 3s and no hole that seemed like it didn’t fit out there. There are some houses lining the course, but they’re not in play and even I don’t think I could manage to hit one with an errant shot.
Didn’t see a marshal or a beverage cart. I teed off @ 710a though. There’s a snack bar at the turn that had a nice selection and offers free tacos. Good tacos too, chicken and pork the day I was there and I was told you could order as many as you want.
Rams Hill has been getting a lot of coverage and has been hyped up over the last few years. I’ve seen it ranked as high as #4 in the state. It lives up to the hype though and I didn’t leave disappointed in any way. It’s also pretty reasonably priced. I do live in Orange Co. though so $126 for a weekday prime tee time wasn’t bad.
If you’re on the fence about making the drive out there to play the course, and it is a bit of a haul, I would be very surprised if after playing 18, you were disappointed or let down by the course or the staff.
Rams Hill is a course I’d highly recommend to any golfer. I didn’t have any complaints and enjoyed my time out there.
Mdwright85, Thanks for the fantastic review and recommendation. We appreciate it very much and hope to have you back soon. Glad you enjoyed the tacos too.

Amazing golf course!
Amazing experience at Rams Hill golf course! From the moment pulling on property being met by friendly staff and getting great food for lunch it was a great start to the day. Every hole on the course was amazing! It was fair but still a very challenging golf course. Well worth the drive. Can’t wait to go back!

Always a treat
Rams Hill is one of the top courses in SoCal. The course is always in great shape. The layout is challenging, but fair. They recently renovated the greens and they are rolling pure. The scenery is gorgeous and nothing can prepare you for the Borrego sky at night. The restaurant is solid. The service is amazing. Everyone is so friendly. Shoutout to Robert and Will for creating memorable events and unforgettable buddy trips

Rams Hill Golf
The staff was excellent! They warned me of the green conditions but I was still surprised when my first chip hit the green. The ball came down with a thud, no bounce, & rolled way past the pin. They are new greens & hopefully will mature soon & play more normal. Once putting they roll fast & true. Very fun course though & love the tacos at the halfway house! The cookie when you leave is a real treat also! We had 2 groups in front of us that were slow and I believe that the marshall was trying to speed them up to no avail.
Can't wait to play here again (hopefully with more lively greens)!
djrobertsonnv, thanks for the very nice 5 Star review and comments. The conversion of the green project has been a wonderful success. As new greens, while they putt awesome, they are understandably a bit firm but will soften after a year or so. Glad you enjoyed the tacos and the cookie. Both have become Rams Hill traditions.Harry Turner

One of my favorite courses
I played as a single in 3 hours, very few people out there on a Saturday afternoon. I absolutely love the pristine conditions and layout. Greens are fast and pure, the heat map for the greens on the GPS helps a lot. I would make the drive from San Diego much more often if it were a bit more affordable.
Thanks for the 5 Star Review and the nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the course. We hope to see you back at Rams Hill Soon. Check our website and social media for specials.

Great Day
Nice track, ran over a trap spider on the hwy enroute. Interesting trip from Palm Springs, but worth the time.Beautiful course and definitely worth your time. Will play again not with the wife but with 3 Dudes that can handle birdie shots!! Have Fun!!
deanboates, Thanks for the nice 5 star review. We hope you do come back with 3 friends but don't leave the wife at home....Maybe she can bring some friends as well.
Hope to see you both very soon.

Fairways are not good
The fairways have been poor for 4 or 5 years and are still not good. Maybe next year when they change the grass. Not a good value for the $165.00 fees. We were going to play 3 rounds, but ended up playing just the one round.
Thanks for taking the time to review. We hope you come back and give us another chance soon.
