Played Thurs 12/19 @ 6:56am for $29 via GolfNow off of my Golflogix app. Weather was chilly (low 40's) and a slight wind which had zero affect on the round. Tee boxes are very good but, grass was a bit long. Fairways are in great shape...looks like a green carpet from the tee box. Rough is cut back to around 3" and no trouble to get out of. Green were very receptive due to the rain the day before. The speed was fast despite the rain and were mostly smooth.
I really enjoy playing here and it makes it tough to go anywhere else when the course is in great condition and the price is right. Playing here again Tuesday 12/23 as a matter of fact.

Played the Saturday Morning, 11/22. I've played this course a few times and this is hands down, the best condition I've seen this course in. The fairways are clean, greens are consistent, and they've managed to keep the pesky ducks off the rough and in the ponds(if you've played here, you know what I mean, ducks are big problem for this course). The course is a throwback to more traditional courses with holes bordering one another and tee boxes right next to greens. This comes in very handy with pace of play, and for a Saturday Morning at 9am, our foursome finished right at 4 hours. The biggest downside to the course is outside a few holes on the front nine and 2-3 holes on the back, it's lacking that "it" factor. All the par 5's are dog leg rights with water/sand/trees protecting the right hand side of the landing area, and I used the same club on 3 different par 3's.. not a whole lot of variety. However, while you get the mountain views on many holes, the architect did a great job not making this a "mountain course." There's plenty of landing areas to hit your ball, and you are generally rewarded for a good shot.

That being said, I highly recommend Soboba Springs as you can't beat the value ($47 on weekend AM, much better during the week or at twilight) and the views of the mountain range are spectacular. One of my Inland Empire favorites.

Played 11/8 at noon, $32 GN deal. Got out on time, but slow groups ahead made for a 5 hour round. Not unexpected for weekend twilight so no worries.

The course is in TV condition. Would look right at home on TGC with pros, crowds, etc. Maybe too much so...the rough was so gnarly we could have used some spectators or spotters on more than one occasion! Lost a couple in the rough. There were a few unfilled fairway divots but I got lucky and didn't end up in one. Bunkers and tee boxes were great. The greens were quick and smooth until right before dusk; as it cooled down they really softened up and got really bumpy from footprints that remained from previous groups.

Played the course for both the first and second time on October 8th & 9th. Course is very well maintained, and the starter was courteous and professional. Greens were soft, and yet fast, with many s... Continue »

Played the course for both the first and second time on October 8th & 9th. Course is very well maintained, and the starter was courteous and professional. Greens were soft, and yet fast, with many subtle breaks. Fairways were in good shape, but some golfer refused to fill there divots (but that happens at all public courses). Price for play was great, which is a bit of a reward for making the commitment to drive there. Pace of play was good. There is nothing but positives for this course, as the clubhouse was wonderful, and food was enjoyable. Locker room provided showers. I'll definitely be back.

Played both last week and this week after the course reopened from overseeding, etc. NOW is the time to play here, current conditions are excellent! Last weeks rough was a little much (actually foun... Continue »

Played both last week and this week after the course reopened from overseeding, etc. NOW is the time to play here, current conditions are excellent! Last weeks rough was a little much (actually found a putter someone lost next to the 15th green - since we were the 2nd group and nobody came back for it I can only guess how long it had been there!). This week it was long and thick, but not THAT long.

Got paired up with a Father/Son twosome, turned out the son was 1runnner from on here - that young man has some serious game! (and Dad ain't bad either). POP was just over 3 hours and we didn't hurry.

If you've played here before, liked the course and want to play it again, or have wanted to play but never have, don't wait, it won't get any better than it is right now.

Played Soboba on Friday 10/24 at 7am. Course is looking good after over-seeding. Love this course, always have. Greens are in great shape. Rough was long and tough, hard to find your ball right off the bat. Fairways had not come in completely after the over-seeding, only part of the course that wasn't in great shape, another week or two and this course will be fantastic. Will be back soon.

Played on 09/07/2014 and 09/02/2014.

This course is the best bargain in the area. Even with the heat the course is in terrific shape.

Always a great place to play no matter the time of year! From the pro shop at the start of the round to the parking lot at the end of the round.....just an all around great course! The course conditions are close to any expensive resort at a very reasonable rate!! It is a drive for many golfers, but well worth it. You want to get out early in the summertime to finish before the heat. The tee boxes are great, the fairways are great, the greens are a little slow as they are kept wet and cut longer during the heat. I have played this course many times and recommend it to all!

Played Soboba for the first time on 8/13/14 with GKer HmtGolfGuy, on a hot sunny day with very little wind. I’d read many positive reviews on this place and was looking forward to playing it. Getting there was an eye-opener – after exiting the 60 east of Moreno Valley, I got into some way-out-there territory that was hot, dry, and pretty desolate. Passed the closed-down Quail Ranch GC and scattered indicators of civilization before coming into San Jacinto. Soboba is a place you have to want to get to – there’s no “just driving by” for this place.

More than anything else, the course reminds me of the Sycuan Resort courses in San Diego – fairly flat, tree-lined fairways and greens that are small without too much undulation. Doglegs are defined by trees and sand with water scattered throughout. Overall a nice visual presentation. Range was on grass, the clubhouse was comfortable and functional, and staff was friendly. Cost was great at $29 including cart.

Not sure about the bag drop because Ron met me at the car with the cart. Check-in was quick as he was already booked in. No GPS on the cart, and the yardage book available is a “pro caddy” style that probably makes sense to GKer Addicted2golf but not so much to me [guy at the desk told me that Fred Funk’s caddy put it together – LOL]. Ron’s phone GPS died of power loss on the back nine, so we spent some additional time trying to figure out the “yardage rock” system and looking for sprinkler heads.

The course was in very good condition and was fun to play. Tees were set up pretty narrow but were all in good shape, including the par 3s. Fairway and rough cuts were well defined, with both being consistent and giving good lies. There were a few scattered bare spots in some fairways, many seeming to be on the inner shoulders of some fairway bunkers. I was in several sand traps and found the quality consistently good, with fine coverage and depth of playing surface. Greens are smallish and generally round or oval shaped, sloped back to front, and without much tiering or undulation. Only a few of the greens were even moderately pitched in terms of slope – most are only gentle rises toward the back of the green. Very few ball marks, and greens rolled well at medium speed.

I enjoyed the round here and Ron’s company, but would not likely make another trip out to Soboba for just a casual round. I’d head over to Moreno Valley Ranch or go on to Morongo or Oak Valley if I’m driving that far.
