Rams Hill Golf Club

About
Located at the heart of the immense Anza Borrego State Park, Rams Hill Golf Club sits perched on a hillside overlooking the desert floor. Tom Fazio designed the course, fully utilizing the existing features of the terrain from the natural slopes and undulations to the many lakes and streams. The layout features rolling fairways and elevated greens framed by carefully sculpted bunkers. Each hole has a different character, as well as a different set of challenges, thanks to the natural elevation changes. The final hole is considered a classic Fazio finishing hole and one of the most memorable on the golf course. This par 5 begins with a downhill tee shot to a wide fairway that slopes towards a large lake on the right, then you'll face an uphill third shot to a green protected by an array of threatening bunkers and a large waterfall.

Best Fairways Anywhere
Absolutely would recommend Rams Hill to any golfer and I'm already planning my return visit.
This course as a terrific combination of excellent design and top-notch course conditions. These were the best fairways I have seen in a long time, and the greens were fast and true.
Along with the conditioning, the layout here is challenging but fair. There are generous fairways encouraging you to hit your driver on all the Par 4s and Par 5s, and then the green complexes are just terrific. They make great use of bunkering, mounds, tiers, and subtle elevation change. Greens are big but getting close to the pin will take a great shot.
We also rented the Golfboards for an extra fee and they were a lot of fun. The course was empty by mid-afternoon, and we got around 9 extra holes on the Golfboards in 1hr 12 min.
Great Course
The layout and condition were excellent. It was 40mph winds at times so the golf was challenging but very fun!
Ram Hill
nice course, but a bit of a hike to get there. An March weather was extremely windy making the course extra challenging
NIce staff. Not worth the money
We played during the late morning. Its a tough drive from San Diego. The driving range is great and has range finders on every other stall. The staff was nice and took the time to give us the lay of the land, and warned us about how hard the course was playing. He wasnt kidding. It was beyond hard. My sone hit a couple drives over 350 yards because of the run out on the fairways. Greens were equally hard and didnt hold a shot. This made it hard on a VERY windy day. Free street tacos on 10 and 14 didnt hurt.
One of my all-time favorites
Rams Hill never disappoints. This was my 4th trip out to Borrego Springs and it was spectacular as always. The course is in amazing shape and the staff is all super friendly... Also definitely recommend getting some tacos at the turn. The best!
First time did not disappoint
Came down with a friend who’s been raving about Rams Hill for a few years. I finally made the trip with him and I’ll be back again. We’re thinking about signing up for the 2 man tournament called the Clash. My friend played a couple years ago with his brother and had a blast.
A true desert oasis 🌵
This course is one of a kind. You are surrounded by beautiful Mountain View’s on an undulating course designed by Tom Fazio. The weather is great this time of year and the tacos at the turn are a delightful treat! The greens are fast and the course is challenging but no matter what, you’ll leave with a smile on your face! I would recommend this course to all levels of golfers looking to play a unique gem in the desert.
Not as good as advertised
Very disappointing. We have been coming to the La Quinta area for years and have been wanting to play Rams Hill for a while based on friends recommendations and GolfPass ratings. I wish we would have listened to the recent lower reviews of the course. It appears the experiment with new grass is not working. Many of the recent reviews talked about rock hard fairways and greens - they were spot on. All of the fairways were rock hard and good shots often rolled off he fairway into the rough or bunker. The greens were very hard and did not hold a shot, however they did roll true once you got the ball to stay on it. There was one fairway with at least 4 ground under repair spots and every fairway had at least one. An excellent course should have one or maybe two on the entire course. There were many other spots where there was little or now grass in the fairway.
Replies to previous complaints said the grass will soften up in late Feb or early March, but we did not see that and the grass appears to have died in many areas. If management acknowledges the course is not at peak condition, then why charge peak prices.
This course is not worth the drive from the La Quinta area, there are so many better maintained courses much closer at a much better price.
One bright spot - the tacos at the turn - they were excellent.
Nice Place
Nice place, great vistas. Friendly staff.
Course fairways role out, greens fast, greens role true, greens play smaller than look with sloped sides. Fairways are firm, bunkers in good shape, tee boxes firm but RH provides short tees.
Would play again.
Pricing is fair compared to others at this cost
Great track! Weekday pricing is easily worth the drive. Fairways and greens were very good. Staff was very good!
Amazing facility
Greens were not really receptive and grass was still growing lots of ground under repair but the course is very challenging and fun still very beautiful. I can’t fault the course though since they just redid it with new grass would like to return when the grass is fully grown in.
Loved the challenge
I loved the course layout ... challenging but fair.
Great course
Great course, fairways and greens in very good shape. Proshop staff, on course staff and outdoor staff were all very friendly. Range are was very cool with having range finders available. Only down fall was the very high winds(3 club wind at least) but no one can control the weather. I thought the overall experience was great!!
In Cart Information
The greeens maps for pin placement were incorrect on ~1/3 of the holes. I never knew if to believe the on screene yardage or placment. When I mentioned in the pro-shop that it looks like 1/3 the pin locations were from yesterday, the response of "yes that happens". The attitude tells me this is acceptable. I think not especially at this price!
