WOW! beautiful day at Ram's Hill with a great friends! Course was in fantastic shape, weather was a perfect low 70's with a light breeze. Greens were hard and fast, I had 6 birdie looks and only got 1 of them. That's a testament to how tough the greens played rolling at a 12!
Tees: Amazing better than my carpet in my house
Fairways: perfect
Rough: short
Bunkers: fluffy . . .
Greens: hard and fast . . . they seem to get harder as the day went on, but also seemed to slow down ever so slightly
POP: Waited a couple of holes as group in front had a new golfer but overall great pace.
Customer service: "Top notch!" From the time you enter the gate until you leave you are treated very, very well by a friendly, helpful and professional staff
Restaurant: ordered 2 breakfast burritos as we arrived at 8 am after travelling 2 hours and our tee time was at 8:39 am. A bit pricey never paid $35 for 2 burritos that weren't very big.
Overall: If you haven't been to Ram's Hill you really need to get out there!

. . . and oh yeah, don't forget about the caramel apple cookie you get after the round AMAZING

My first round of 2021 was at one of my favorite courses. I love the layout, pace of play and staff here. I also got lucky and finished my round before the wind came in. I come out here a couple of times each year but this year the course conditions were probably the worst I have seen it in. Normally the course is lush from tee to green but the fairways had many patches of bare dirt and lots of thinning grass. It was cart-path only on about 6 holes as it seems they are trying to work on the course. They may want to lower the price while the course looks like this though. On the good side, the greens were fast and true. The sand in the bunkers was pure too. Still a nice day of golf but not as nice as it once was. I will head out in the spring and hopefully it will be back to its former glory.

Played 12-13-20 late morning with Alex, Kevin, and Bob finishing in about 4 1/2 hours with some waiting. Tee boxes were in nice shape, good coverage and level with minor divot damage on par threes. Fairways for they most part were nice and lush with good lies, but there were a few bare and thin spots mixed in. Rough was nice around greens and along fairways, 2-3 inches and very lush. Was in one greenside bunker that good quality thick sand, and nice to hit from. Greens were smooth, semi-firm and rolling medium/fast pace. Fun track that is still in really good shape even with the minor blemishes.

Played the year end GK event on Sunday, 12/13. Second time here, having played it a year ago, after days of rain with the course lush but wet. This year, the course was playing firm and dry. While the fairways were not as lush, they were extremely playable. It's not fair to compare this year to last, as the weather has a hand in them. Despite the heat they encountered during reseeding, I thought the course was in incredible shape. Tee boxes level, fairways almost lush, rough was lush and made you pay if you were in it, and bunkers had nice, fluffy sand. The greens were absolutely the best. A bit firm and a almost fast.

I didn't hit from the all grass range but I found the practice green in the same conditions as the course.

The food/beverage staff was incredible. The bartender (I wish I got her name) made an incredible Bloody Mary and the on course Snack Shack had a great selection of beers. The to go food was very good. Unfortunately the rear patio was closed but looked like would be awesome to sit on after the round.

I enjoyed Rams Hill more this year than last. I'm a huge fan of fast and firm and the course was very fun to play. Outside of the back to back par 3s at 9 and 10, I didn't find any holes the same. Worth a drive from either Palm Springs or San Diego (which is a really cool drive).

Played in the year-end GK Plays on Sunday. Great times with Circaflex, wsbell57, and colmcd. Huge thanks to Johnny and the sponsors for all the extra effort to make this event happen, despite trying circumstances.

Course conditions are mixed. Greens are fast, mostly smooth and accepting of full shots. Tee boxes and bunkers were great. The fairways and rough aren’t up to the usual Rams Hill standard, but still very playable. It seemed the course conditions had deteriorated a bit in the three weeks since I was here; wonder if the Ramateur took a toll on the course the previous weekend.

Always a great time at Rams Hill. Can’t wait to get back out there again!

Non-golf related note: For those who dread the long drive to get out there and might enjoy nature, I spent the early morning hiking The Slot Canyon in Anza Borrego, which is only about 15 minutes from the course and was a beautiful way to start the day. Thought I’d mention it as it might help some justify the drive knowing you can easily add another really cool experience to a day trip out and back.

Really appreciate all the reviews being posted here about our GK Plays Rams Hill Golf Club. What a fun day that was. I never had to put so much preparation into an outing given the unique circumstances of COVID-19 and recent CA state orders. Yet once again GKers came out to play and Rams Hill Golf Club went above and beyond to make us happy. Thank You!

I did not get to play a full round due to added tasks because we could not gather afterwards. I did however have a blast playing many holes alongside of GKers to give me enough experience to write a review.

First off from an organizer perspective Rams Hill Golf Club has an incredible golf course, facility and staff which why, without fail for years now, they host our year-end outing. You can bet we’ll be back next year.

From a playing perspective, it was hard to see what are normally immaculate rye grass fairways/rough in only decent shape due to out of the norm scorching October heat that not only impacted Rams Hill Golf Club but most desert golf courses that overseeded September/October. However the reminder of the golf course was in excellent condition and given the outstanding layout, scenery and overall ambiance of the place it, don’t the fairways/rough condition stop you from playing it. Greens are rolling smooth, bunkers immaculate and tee boxes in great shape.

I posted a recap of the outing in the forums and will be making social media posts on Instagram and Facebook. Again, thanks so much to all that played and our awesome sponsors Linksoul (golf apparel), Golf Moose (golf discounts), Royal Links (Vegas) and Kleen Kaddy (ball washer).

Played here on Sunday, 12/13 as part of the GK Event. This place is absolutely amazing!!!!

Range: Pure range. They use Pro V1 practice balls and the range was awesome. The grass was a little eaten up from previous folks warming up, but easy enough to find a sliver to hit on. Nice targets throughout the range and yardage to those are posted.

Clubhouse/Bar/Grill: Food is take out only, I had a deli sandwhich and a pulled pork sandwhich after. Both were pretty darn good; the home fries/home style chips are delicious.

Course: Overall not that difficult, there are areas to miss and you really shouldnt lose many balls. There are some holes with forced carry or water in front on a par 3; but overall pretty playable. The greens were really firm and had a lot of roll out on them; speeds were quick so you had to pay attention. Rough was nice and lush; some areas were thicker than others but still playable.

Pace of play was great, they have starters out there ensuring you go off at the designated time.

Highly recommend this course.

I played in the GK Event this past Saturday. We were the second group off and pace of play seemed pretty good, maybe 4:15 or so.

This is my third of fourth time at Rams Hill and I realized that this time seemed so much different than the rest. First, Covid kind of took away from some of the cooler aspects of Rams Hill, like hanging out on the patio and with the staff out there. I did get fantastic service at the restaurant/bar inside as I always do. It's just that its such a great spot to hang that I missed that.

Second, the weather was pretty incredible. It was weird playing with no wind at all out there (save for 1-2 "gusts") and the lighting with the clear air just was awesome. I thought that coupled with the brown, dormant bunker surrounds make the course visually better than I remembered.

Third, it was weird seeing the fairways in rough shape for Rams Hill. While I never really had a bad lie, they were nowhere near what they have been in the past. Seemed the rye really hadn't taken so maybe give it a little more time and it will be back to normal. The greens however were the best I've played there. Definitely firm and faster and that's my favorite kind. Bunkers I was in were great and never an issue on the tees.

I think I had more fun playing the course this time around than before. Just seemed like I appreciated the layout more this time around. Other than 11 and 18 I don't know if any other holes really stand out too much, but as a group it's just a fun golf course.

I did go down to the far end of the range for the first time and while there weren't any balls to hit they have an awesome short game area. I could hang out there all day.

I had a fantastic day out there and love Rams Hill. I absolutely recommend it to everyone. Just a killer golf experience.

I played in the recent event, first group out with Alex, Bob, and Ron. Great customer service as always. The course itself was not as nice as I remember it, but still very nice. Also, no chance of using their patio afterwards due to newer Covid restrictions on social gatherings, but blame the government not the golf course.

Greens: Initial impression is that the greens were mowed tight and were very tender. Someone had heavy feet and left cleat marks all over the place (practice putting green and all the greens in front of us). I tapped them down when I found them. The greens were running very pure, fast, and were receptive of most shots. I fixed quite a few ball marks here and there. No issues as far as quality of the turf here.

Fairways: There were a few areas that were somewhat thin, but overall it was great to hit from and there was good roll out. A couple areas had roped off GUR. One big plus is the fairways here are generous. It's almost all fairway in some areas.

Rough: Mostly good coverage and not too penal as it was all nicely mowed (at least in the areas I found). I almost always had a good lie.

Bunkers: The bunkers looked great; I did find one on the last hole as what I thought was a decent drive rolled out and to the right only to find a deep, sandy grave. The sand was a nice, light color and was of medium, fine consistency.

Tees: We played the blues and I did not notice anything other than great turf to hit from; level and good coverage.

I love the course; the layout and scenery is fantastic. Customer service is among the best anywhere. The food is really good. I would come back more if not for the 4-hour one way drive. Add in the really steep green fees and this becomes a once-a-year outing at best for me; however, as part of a big weekend of golf it's well worth it.
