Well worth the drive from palm desert. This course is top notch. The fairways are pristine. The rough is pristine. The bunkers are pristine. The greens are pristine. The layout is fantastic. Tough to find even the smallest thing to criticize. I would say maybe the greens are rolling like a 10 and I prefer 11 haha. Go out and play this course, you deserve it and the course deserves it

Rams Hill is the finest maintained golf course I have ever played. The fairways greens and tees were all perfect, and the course was a lot of fun. We always go to the Wells Fargo tournament in Charlotte and rams Hill was as well maintained as Quail Hollow at tournament time. My buddy and I played on March 13, and it is truly a wonderful golf course.

Ok so I went to play and see what all the fuss is about. Wow, every review is right on. Instantly one of my top five for Southern CA. Cant wait to get back for the GK plays.

Ok so I went to play and see what all the fuss is about. Wow, every review is right on. Instantly one of my top five for Southern CA. Cant wait to get back for the GK plays.
So lets just talk about the course for a short while. The condition of this place is superb!! On this day the greens were running a 12, fast but who cares what a joy, if you read them right you have a shot even at this pace. Not a ball mark to be found unrepaired. Everything here is maintained to a high level, greens, rough, fairways fringe you name it. So here are my only 3 complaints.
Found the sand to be very heavy, playable for sure but heavy never the less. The next two do not have a effect on play, but are still annoying, First the restaurant is closed until 11:00 A.M. with an early tee-time this I think should be mentioned when talking to pro-shop, secondly there is no at the turn refreshment shack, with normally isn't bad if you can get back to the club house, but your on the other end of the course so this is impossible, and finally no cart refreshments, until 12:00PM finally found the girl at the 17th tee, sorry but I will wait the extra 20 minutes.

Played the Golds (6830/73.2/137) as a 3some with Kviser & Sr129 in 4H on a very windy Monday morning with the temperature around 55. It was 34 degrees and snowing when I was 30 miles from the course @ 7 a.m., so the weather conditions were better than expected even with a wind advisory. It seemed like the wind was hurting on about 80% of the shots, constantly changing direction and gusting. We all used the Rams Hill voucher, allowing us to play for the $20 cart fee. Side note: We had a 7:40 a.m. tee time, just ahead of the men's club. 1st group of the men's club was a 3some, playing the whites, all in their own carts. We were asked to jump 2 holes ahead and come back and play 7-8 later, which we did. However, we only spent 4 hours total actually playing golf, the rest of the time was riding to/from the other side of the course to accommodate 3 guys who wanted to be home for 10:30 coffee and who thought they were entitled to play a 2 1/2 hour round no matter what. 4 hours on this course in 15-25 mph winds was NOT a slow round of golf. The greens were firm, quick and rolled well. However, while still excellent, they are beginning to show ball mark damage and were not in as good of condition as when I played here in early Jan. The fairways were very lush, with almost complete thick coverage everywhere with few divots. The rough was also very lush. Thick and long enough to make longer clubs a very risky play. The sand traps were immaculate. I don't see how a public course could maintain traps any better than these, and there are close to 100 of them total on the course. The tees were also immaculate. Few divots, mowed down close, very well maintained. The customer service was excellent. We were greeted in the parking lot on arrival and offered a ride to our car after the round. The pro shop staff was also excellent. I liked the setup of the all grass driving range with the complementary balls. Most of the range is sand, with numerous grass greens set up as targets in 25-30 yard increments so you could hit almost any club and feel like you were hitting into a green. I liked the course layout, I can see the high slope rating. Many holes are visually intimidating with 97 well placed traps and a decent amount of water. Four different sets of tees for men, all varied by 400-500 yards. The course was fair, not overly tight and an excellent test of golf.

What can I say that has not already been said? This course is in top shape. Close to immaculate conditions from tee to green, including the practice range, putting, and chipping greens. We got out at about 7:40 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 23, just in front of the men's club. We got pushed a bit, so on the advice of the starter, we skipped two holes and came back to play them after completion of hole 18. Course marshal ensured we got placed between groups and invited us to continue to play on as much as we wanted. Too bad we had an afternoon round at nearby Borrego Springs. I am looking forward to returning soon.

Played here with Rat-Patrol @ 9:40 this morning. After checking in and with no one on the tee, the starter allowed us to tee off early at about 9:20. POP was just under 4 hours. Beautiful day, incredible weather, and hard to beat the conditions here right now. Tee boxes are immaculate. Fairways are perfect. Rough is lush and beautiful. Greens are firm and fast. Bunkers are the only thing I didn't rate a 10, and only because they weren't pristine perfect sand you find at some higher end resort courses (read: $150 price tag courses).

The course is fun and quite challenging, although the layout never really "wowed" me at any time (like I'd expect from a $150 course). I'd say it's an extremely solid, beautiful golf course in fantastic shape.

After driving the (almost) road to Hana to get there . . . (I almost hit a heathy looking Doe near Cuyamaca, she darted right in front of me as I made a turn, she was so close I could hear her hooves clanking on the asphalt over the motor and my radio! Thank God she was a quick one!) . . . I arrived at Ram's Hill, through the guarded gate to the modest looking club house. Service was excellent, check in a breeze, practice facilities top notch and the course an absolute dream!


POP was right at about four hours. Only problem we had, besides a few brief waits was a group that asked us if we wanted to play through. So we did, but as we played up they continued to play? Only stalling for a brief moment as we passed them? Nothing to do with the course, but people, and I know I'm preaching to the choir here, that is no way to let a group play through that you invited to PLAY through!

Played Ram's Hill after all the hype I read. Review system is going to skew the ratings here but that is ok. It is a great course, good layout and conditions are almost ideal. That being said the starter was not the nicest guy in the world, the food at the turn was just ok, and 36 holes was fairly priced. Great layout, great golf course, ratings system is giving a rating a bit too high but close. I loved it for golf's sake, everything else was just ok. Good for a once a year trip at lower than rack rates

What a gem!!!! The course had fallen on hard times during the recession but is clean and pristine. The design is challenging but fair, scenic vistas everywhere. The greens roll true - pick the line and trust it. They are also firm - you must hit short of the hole or with spin. The fairways are generous and rough that challenges you but is not penal. My favorite hole is #11 - downhilll par 5 that played into a breeze today. A stream runs down the left side all the way to the green culminating in a waterfall spilling into a lake left of the green. Tiered green that requires you hit to the right spot. There are LOTS of bunkers, but they are strategically placed and (unlike a lot courses I've played this year, even upscale courses) they have plenty of sand in them! Outstanding dirivng range where they tell you the actual distance to flags based on where they move the set-ups. Bar and restaurant serve delicious food. Staff is very accomodating. It is a ways out but well worth the drive! Several reasonable places to stay very close by. Wish I had stayed the weekend.
