Played the GK Plays on 12/7. I have been listening to the hype of Rams Hill for a couple of years now and I've been yearning to visit. I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. Course has a great feel and views from the clubhouse and patio area. Nice practice areas with an all grass driving range and large putting green with plenty of slopes.

While standing on the first tee, I mentioned the wide fairway and was warned not to get use to it. Rams Hill has a great variety of wide and narrow fairways. The front nine carries much of the distance with some longer par 4s and the back 9 has some fun risky short ones. The fairways were mostly lush, with just a few spots were the winter grass had issues. Greens were smooth and ran great, just a bit slower than they looked. The rain over the last week or so caused some wet areas and killed any roll outs. And despite the rain, the bunkers were filled with fluffy sand and no muddy areas. The rough was up and caused issues trying to get out of it. Course had elevation changes, rolling mounds in the fairways and rough, and views for days.

I loved it! Definitely want to go back when the course is running firm and fast. I can't believe how close it is to most of Southern California. While it's not a day trip from Vegas, Rams Hill should be included in any Palm Springs area trips.

The course was in really nice condition. I liked how they had clear definition around the bunkers this year with dormant, golden grass that contrasts beautifully with the deep green lushness everywhere else. Greens were smooth, accepting of full shots and medium slow. Would definitely like to see them faster. Fairways were mostly all good, although a few had some thinner areas that are a little atypical for this course this time of year. Rough was fantastic: lush and not too penal. Tee boxes and bunkers both excellent.

Lots of fun! Can't wait to get back!

I played 12-8-19 in the GK outing with Tim, Brady and Bob. This was my fourth time to Rams Hill and I was so excited to play again. I started the morning with a nice breakfast on the patio where I had a beautiful view of the first and last holes. Afterwards I hit a few unsuccessful, but very fun, shots on the new simulator. The all-grass driving range was in great shape as were the putting green and chipping area. The course was near-perfect as always. The fairways were lush and a shade of emerald green that almost doesn’t look real. I found a few damp and thin spots but that wasn’t a surprise considering all the recent rain. The bunkers (all seven of them that I was in) had great sand. The rough around the traps was dormant creating a beautiful look. Unfortunately, it was too short to stop my balls from rolling in. The red tee boxes were all level with very few divots. The greens were soft and smooth. The wind kicked hard up on the back nine. I’d like to blame that for the many uphill putts that came to a grinding halt half an inch from the cup. Customer service was outstanding all around from beginning to end. It also was really nice that we had a big room in which to have our post-round festivities. Many thanks to Johnny and Rams Hill for another fantastic day.

Played 12-8-19 in the GK outing teeing it up with Gary, Pedro, and Kieth for a fun day of golf with a great group. Overall course is in really nice condition. Tee boxes were mostly lush and level. Fairways were very nice, with minimal roll out due to recent rains and some minor spots that still need to fill in but still had great lies. Rough was about 2 inches and very lush and green. Found myself in two fairway bunkers and one greenside bunker all of which had a very nice amount of soft sand. Greens were a little softer and slower than normal but still in good shape and rolling nice. Great day with great friends at a great setting, cant be beat.

This last Sunday, I had the honors to be part of the GK's Gurus golfing outings. This was my first time playing the Rams Hill Golf Course. Since the moment that we drove in the golf course club and I noticed that I was in for a big surprise. Starting from the practice greens, they were like a carpet just very smooth, clean and rolling beautiful.

Then we got to the practice range, are you KIDDING ME!!! they have practice Titleist pro v1. I then knew that I was just going to enjoy my round and not even keep score just enjoy my game and have a great time with my buddies.

I played with my buddies GK Guru's Gary, Ron and Keith. Our tee time was at 10:45am. Keith and I played from the whites tees. Every tee that I looked at each hole were just spectacular, very smooth and level (I just felt that I was on a mat hitting my ball). I did not needed to look for a level area to stand and hit the little white ball. The fair ways unbillable perfect very green and not to many debits. My buddy Gary was driving and he didn't wanted to get on them as they were just amazing well kept. The only thing that I did noticed was that all of the holes that we played had to many sand traps, which make them very challenging for me as I'm not a good fairway sand trap hitter.

The greens to me were excellent, golfers that played a head of us were fixing their debits and ball makers. I really enjoyed playing Rams Hills first nine 9 holes, I did very well. But as soon as we starting the back nine, the wind picked up and it was very challenging to keep the ball in the fairways and your ball was not going no where. But never the less, I had a great round playing with my GK Guru's friends and very happy to be out playing golf.

Customer services were excellent, always smiling and they know how to take care of you. Over all, I rate Rams Hill all across the board 9.5. If you haven't played or if GK has another golf outing and Rams Hills is in the list. You have to get up there and experience it as I did. Trust me you won't be disappointed. By far, Rams Hill Golf Clube is one of my top 5 golf course that I have played. I know for sure that I will be coming back to play here again.

Thank you GK for this awesome experience. As always, get up there and continue to play the game that we all love.

Super time. Great year end outing. Thanks everyone for coming out. I’ll be posting a recap on Wednesday.

Course conditions this year compared to last year's outing were better. But like last year the golf course was rather saturated from all the recent rain. I’m used to Rams Hill Golf Club playing more firm. Sure makes for a long golf course and especially on the back nine when the wind kicked up. But have to say I did enjoy being able to be aggressive with my pitch shots and approaches. Not used to seeing their greens hold shots like that. Speaking of the greens thought they were mostly smooth, medium pace and mostly soft. I remember when the course first opened and the greens were like a pool table. Super firm, lightning fast and very smooth. Smooth and fast was great but it was near impossible to hold shots. How interesting how a golf course changes with maturity.

Fairways were super lush in most places with occasional thin spots where overseed washed out due to some the heavy rains. Still so beautiful and a pleasure to play from. Same goes for the rough. Sand traps had soft excellent well-manicured sand and the tee boxes good coverage/level lies. Aesthetically I don’t know if I’ve see the place look much better. Loved the continued surrounding landscape improvements and clubhouse upgrades (as well as the addition of the golf simulator). Check out the photos I just posted!

Following play we for the first time concluded it inside in their Santa Rosa Room (hope I got the name right). Very nice large private room with views of the 18th hole and driving range. I may want to always have our prizes and announcements in there for future outings.

This year, as in all times, the service was exceptional. Everyone very friendly and professional. The outing organized perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough for group outings and tournaments. Just a great golf experience worth the drive.

Played on Sunday the 8th and this was my first vist to Rams Hill and it wont be the last. As the other GKr's have mentioned, the course is in great shape. I haven't played a course this green in a long time. With the wind blowing and the elevation changes from fairway to green, choosing the correct club was at a premium.
As Dave mentioned it is a LONG drive to and from the course, but I have to say it is well worth it. Thanks to the staff (who are top notch) for having us and for help making this a very memorable day.
Note: When checking in ask for a scorecard with combo tees, the round played 6100 yards, instead 6300+ from the blues and under 6000 from the whites.

Played in the GK Event teeing off at 1115 on Sunday, 12/8/19 – thanks to GKers Greg, Brian, and Nick for an enjoyable round in challenging windy conditions. I come back to RH (almost) every year despite the LONG drive to and from because I really like the course design, conditions are always stellar compared to most courses in SoCal, and I always enjoy the company of other GKers. Thanks again to Johnny for setting up this outing.

Love the grass range and unlimited balls, smooth and quick small putting green, and separate short game area (which I’ve never used). Staff is great and many food and water options are readily available. Over the years the clubhouse/cart marshalling infrastructure has been improved and many staff are available to get you loaded up and going. Carts are comfortable and offer a nice interactive GPS and a cooler with complimentary water. A club cleaner/ball washer would be a nice addition.

Off on time and with a good separation of tee times you never feel rushed. The scorecard shows pin location by zones on the greens, but today we were told that, as a result of recent rains, pins had been moved on some greens to avoid bad areas, so zone format was not being used. It was obvious going through the course that there were no ‘front’ pins that might normally be in areas that get a lot of water runoff. GPS has pin location, and we were told that the GPS should show the correct relocated pin placements, but in more than half the holes today the GPS showed the wrong pin location, so we needed to use our own tools to get accurate reads.

Greens were in very good condition. Most were pretty firm and dried quickly in the windy weather. We found a few softer spots and some areas were a little bumpy. Greens held high shots and rolled pretty well at medium+ speeds. The greens were showing footprints/spikemarks pretty badly as we finished the second nine, but overall were far superior to greens we normally see in SoCal. Only on hole #17 green did we see an abnormally high number of old ballmarks.

Fairways had fairly good coverage, although we did see/find some scattered bare spots, and some holes showed the aftermath of recent punching and slow recovery of grasses. Lies were rarely lush, and were mostly fairly tight. Rough was more uniform and had been cut short and very playable. Tees were level (we played a Blue/White combo setup) and easy to play from. Sand was in very good condition, groomed after all the rains and great to play from in all areas. I was in the front bunker on hole #10, up against a nose on the side of the bunker, and the sand was pretty deep and soft, making getting a stance difficult – don’t hit it where I did!

Afterwards the course gave us a comfortable private room for our after-round activities. Thanks again to Johnny for making lots of great prizes available. Every year I say this is the last time at RH because of the long drive and long day, but wonderful course/conditions and playing with GKers keeps me coming back. Next year – well, we’ll see!

Always recommended!
