Rode the Blues (6313/70.6/129) in 2.5H late afternoon using Forelinx. Very few other golfers out playing. The weather was clear, breezy and around 100. SilverRock offers many tee shots that are nicely camouflaged with a large amount of both fairway and green side traps. Numerous driving areas appear tight. However, this is not a tight course overall with generous fairway landing areas for the most part once you get around bends and look back at the tee. The Bermuda tees were lush and well maintained. Only the par 3's needed divot repair. The Bermuda fairways were lush, with a few thin spots here and there. Nicely maintained and good to play from. Same for the Bermuda rough, mowed low and nicely maintained. The sand traps were in excellent condition. Good quality sand that was thick and plentiful. Tough to play from with large lips and long carries if you short sided yourself. The course is in excellent late summer condition from tee to fringe. However, the Bermuda greens are a very mixed bag. The 4 new greens on the back nine have not fared well their first summer, they all have numerous bare spots. They seem like they are just trying to nurse them through late summer until fall over seeding? Not a huge amount of contour on these greens, few tiers. Overall, they are firm but held shots well. Fairly bumpy and medium speed. The customer service was outstanding, from the complimentary range balls all the way to the cart guy cleaning your clubs after the round. One of my favorite layouts in the Palm Springs area. It is away from any houses with a decent amount of lakes, canals and native areas to keep things interesting. Definitely recommended.

Played the Blues (6313/70.6/129) in 2.5H mid day as a single using Forelinx. I saw exactly 2 other groups playing total, almost like having your own private course. The weather was clear, fairly calm and around 105. The Bermuda tees were lush and well maintained. Only a couple of par 3's needed divot repair. Both the Bermuda fairways and rough were lush, mowed down close with a few brown heat spots. Nicely maintained and good to play from. The sand traps were in excellent condition with a generous amount of fine grain sand. These traps are tough to play from with large lips and potential long carries. The Bermuda greens are still subpar, recovering after a recent aerification. Decent amount of contour/slope on these large greens. They putted medium speed and were somewhat bumpy. They were firm but held shots well. The customer service was excellent, especially from Nathan the clubhouse attendant. No drink cart out or Marhall today. SilverRock is easier after the redesign that shortened the back, but still a fun & pretty layout. Definitely recommended.

Rode the Blues (6313/70.6/129) in around 2.5H as a single. The weather was clear, fairly calm and in the low 100's. I have now played the new back 9 five times. After the redesign, SilverRock is an easier layout that the original design was IMO. I liked the old back 9. However, from a playability stand point for the average golfer, I think the new back 9 is an improvement. An oddity on the new back 9 is a potentially driveable par 4 as the finishing hole. Another oddity is that you finish about 1/2 mile from the clubhouse, much like River Ridge Vineyard, another course where the original layout was redesigned. Most of the tees were near immaculate, lush with only a few par 3's needing divot repair. The fairways were lush and firm with a few thin spots here and there. The rough is well maintained, not high and usually good to play from. The large sand traps are in excellent condition with a good amount of thick sand. These traps are tough to play from with large lips and high carries to firm greens. The large Bermuda greens putted medium speed, were firm but held shots well. Reasonably smooth with alot of contour. Excellent GPS on the carts. The customer service was very good. Informative starter and saw the Marshall going by several times. Complimentary range balls on an all grass range and bottled water in the ice chest. Excellent, fun layout, highly recommended.

Arnold Palmer course in Palm Springs that is a must play when in town. Played last weekend in 104 degrees temp. It was actually a comfortable round. Not a lot of people playing so there was no waiting and we finished as a 2some in under 3 hours. Carts had ice chest/coolers with 2 bottles of water which was nice.

Had purchased the underpar voucher but there are deals available. Even their website had rates ranging from $58 to $85 (depending on what time).

We had time to hit the expansive driving range. Lots of open stalls.

Course was in great shape. Tee to green - lush and very good condition. Greens rolled true and was quite fun to putt. They were firm but fair. GPS on the carts were great. We had some issues with our handheld GPS though - i suspect probably from the rerouting done with the course. The 16th 180y par 3 was highlight on the back 9. I thought the 18th was anticlimactic.

Staff was excellent. From the proshop to the people in the grill. Food was decent.

Right now would be the best time to go before they do maintenance end of the month and temps are still bearable.

Played out here this afternoon on a $37 GN hot deal at 12:45. Was surprised to see it so busy out there. I was paired with another single and the other twosome never showed, so they just sent us out as a twosome. Starter pre-apologized telling us it was going to be a slow round. That's never a good sign. We were stuck right behind a big group of toolwads. I think it was 4 foursomes and they were playing a scramble format. Their second rounds of the day and they were all extremely lit by the time we finished. Still, I think the course was pretty busy in front of them anyway and it was a brutal 5:15 pace for everyone. Saw one marshal on the back nine, but it was too little too late at that point. The course was in good overall condition. The tee boxes were pretty much perfect. The fairways were really nice with just a few minor brown/thin spots starting to come through. The rough was pretty good tee to green and then really nice around the greens. Bunkers a bit crusty on the front nine, but not in a bad way. Kinda crusty on top to keep the ball up, but soft enough underneath. Some bunkers on the back nine had newer softer sand. The greens were mostly in nice shape and playing better then they looked. A few had some thin/damaged/sandy spots, but they all rolled nicely at medium-fast speeds. Firm and hard to hold, especially the newer green complexes. Speaking of the newer greens, this was my first time playing the renovated version of the back nine. I liked some changes and didn't like others. The new par-3 11th is kind of a neat hole, though it also feels kind of out of place with the rest of the course. The 18th hole is an odd finisher that is drivable for many and has one of the goofiest greens I can remember. I don't get it and they had the silliest pin position possible today. All the way back on top of an impossible anthill hump. I know a lot of people were underwhelmed by the old #18 as a finisher, but I can't say I'm too big on the new #18. I was glad to see they kept the awesome par-3 17th (now the 16th hole) mostly intact (minus the old waterfall feature behind the green). I need to go back and look at my old photos/scorecards to really assess all the changes, but my first impression was it's not necessarily an improvement. Just some differences (some good, some bad) that will take some getting used to. Still a recommended course that is beautiful, challenging and fun.

Got our to SilverRock yesterday with some friends using the $69 Underpar Deal for ALL-YOU-CAN-GOLF. We had a 9:15 tee time which we got out about 5 mins behind but nothing to worry about. Staff was great from the bag drop/Valet to the pro shop, starter, and Cart girl.

The Course is in Great shape right now as we head into the hot summer months. Yesterday was 94 and light winds until the second round where the winds started to howl. Tee's, Fairways, Rough, Sand all in tip top shape. The only thing that could negatively affect was there was maybe 1 or 2 burned out areas in the fairways but nothing too bad.

Greens were firm and semi quick. One thing to note is the greens are not overly tough but the are very well protected either by multiple sand traps or water and every hole. There are no freebies on this course.

I highly recommend playing silverRock to anyone looking for a good course at good rates even in the winter season.

Played here Saturday April 14. First time here and was well worth it with use of an Under Par voucher ($69).

Very nice practice area, grass driving range, good sized chipping area and sand bunker practice area. Large putting green adjacent to 1st tee box. Starter calls / announces who's up on tee and kept everyone right on time. I teed it up at 908a.

Played with (3) others who had played before so got a good amount of intel from then and along with the onboard GPS, no problem at all. Without it, however, navigation of the tee could be tricky. Some blinds shots and some tee shots which don't show you the landing area from tee, but as mentioned in other reviews, fairways are mostly very generous, just doesn't always appear that way from tee box.

Conditions overall were good to very good.

Tee boxes and fairways very good. Thought fairways in particular were excellent. Great coverage, just enough bounce and roll, and lush.

Greens were a mixed bag. Quite firm, most were very good but a handful were spotty and thin. Not as lush as I had hoped. Others who had played there before indicated greens were usually a bit better.

Sand bunkers, not to be mistaken for waste areas, were very good, and plentiful. Designed with the intention to keep you very aware and to plan your shot precisely. A few area that look like sand bunkers were waste areas and had significantly different quality of surface to play from.

Layout was interesting. Given my first time here, I didn't know any thing different about the back 9, but group I played with indicated there were significant changes. #11 in particular. A 175ish yard par 3 over water with narrow sloped green was new. (Play to right edge as slope take it down to green). A little awkward from tee box. They indicate routing was different since re-open after canal work was completed. For anyone that had played prior to closing, the re-opened back 9 will look different. Kind of unusual finishing hole. 300 yard par 4, which could be drivable, and may be the right strategy, given the shape of green. Easiest to play as short a shot as possible on approach.

Great customer service in pro shop, starter, on course and at bag drop.

Very picturesque venue up against the rocky backdrop. Recommend.

Played the Blues (70.6/129/6313) in 4H. The weather was clear, breezy and in the 60's.

The layout offers many tee shots that are nicely camouflaged with a large amount of both fairway and green side traps. Numerous driving areas appear tight.

Good quality sand that was thick and tough to play from with large lips and long carries if you short sided yourself. The greens were medium fast, smooth and firm but held shots well. Not a huge amount of contour on these greens, few tiers. The customer service was outstanding, from the complimentary range balls all the way to the cart guy cleaning your clubs after the round. The playing conditions were very good bordering on excellent across the board. One of my favorite layouts in the Palm Springs area, definitely recommended.
