2nd time plAying. This course can be tough. The greens were great same goes for the rest of the course. No complaints great service. Though I don't know if I'd do the drive there and back in one day again. Pop was right around 3 hrs as a single. also played the 29th 830ish Finished my day at the Tom Weiskopf course at PGA West. I've only heard bad reviews about this course but it wasnt as horrible as people say.

A little late with my review due to a temporary schedule change.

As impressed as I was on my December visit I was even more impressed this time. The fairways have filled in nicely as has the rough yielding more consistent lies, meanwhile the greens were slightly more receptive. The service here is outstanding and the little perks are great (ProV1 range balls, laser range finder at each range station). Also, the practice green speed was the same as those on the course which is a rare but appreciated perk.

Course layout is excellent with a great variety of holes. Very fair but also challenging - if you try and play to your handicap (from the correct tees) you can be successful, but the lower your handicap the more difficult it will get.

Mike is an excellent host and everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended.

A week has past and I have had a chance to reflect on all the positive reviews as well as my personal/professional experience working with Rams Hill Golf Club on our outing. To me this was a special day I want to repeat over and over again with future outings. A fantastic layout, exceptional playing conditions, well organized, over-the-top service, wonderful prizes and as always a great group of people to share the day with. If a group organizer is reading this review, you can’t go wrong with Rams Hill Golf Club. From a player’s standpoint, the course is spectacular with lush firm conditions and manicured beautifully. Every hole is interesting and challenging yet none of the course I would consider unfair. Lots of risk-reward type holes, beautiful desert scenery, excellent practice facilities and club house. Greenskeeper.org will be back to Rams Hill Golf Club with another #gkplays outing for sure. Thank you again to everyone that came and our great sponsors.

Got to play in the GK event and what a course. Hard to state how impressed I was with the conditions, layout and beauty of the Rams Hill facility. Driving range was very nice. The range finders were a nice touch and something I'd never seen before. The Course was challenging and in exceptional condition. Nice tee boxes, great fairways, some tough rough, good sand traps and really interesting/challenging greens. I spent $70 to play a course the week before and Rams Hills for the extra money was a millions times nicer. Thanks to the 3 other guys, Andrew, Kevin and Benjamin, in the group, even though I was tough to see... :) Awesome fun! I definitely plan to play here again and recommend it to anyone that wants an exceptional golf outing. Top flight Facility- A++

I was one of the lucky 36 to tee it up at the GK Plays this past Sunday.

There are two points that I would like to make regarding Rams Hill. First, I think that even at the rack rate WITH taking the drive in mind, Rams Hill is still a great value. It is absolutely a destination course, hands down, no question. The fact that they support GK and you can play for $90 is a no brainer. That's an insane deal, even with a near 2 hour drive (next time I'd totally make plans to stop in Julian for dinner or something on the way home).

Second, the hospitality we received was the best I have ever received. Not only was the staff attentive and professional, there was a feeling that they genuinely cared about their guests and the experiences we had. My hats off to them and a big THANKS for creating a memorable experience.

Without sounding like a broken record from previous reviews, the conditions were immaculate. I don't think enough has been said about how well the course handled the amount of rain we had in the days leading up to the event. Crazy how well everything played, including the greens which even though they showed signs of being softened by the rain, maintained incredible surfaces to play on.

As for the layout, I can't really remember playing 18 holes that I enjoyed more. It's rare that you get a course that plays as a signature "course" rather than try and wow you with a couple fancy holes that detract from a handful that are more or less forgettable. I give this course the highest compliment I possibly can and that's to say that I could play this thing everyday for the rest of my life and never get bored. The shot values are incredible, so many options and the green complexes are super interesting without being gimmicky.

The final touch for me was the awesome setting for food and drinks after the round. Great views, cool fire pits and good service. Such a cool place.

I will definitely be heading back soon and often. Next time I'm staying at one of the resorts so I can get more than 18 in.

Played GK plays event Sunday 1-10-2016. Awesome course… Just awesome. Perfect tee boxes, fairways are nearly perfect, greens are smooth and fast, bunkers are great shape. As everyone else has said, Rams Hill was in great condition and most beautiful course I have played to date.
I will be back soon…very soon. Thanks to JohnnyGK, sponsors and staff at Rams Hill.

Played 1-10-16 with the GK plays. Course is one of the best around. From perfect tee boxes to smooth quick greens the course really delivers. The bunkers are soft and fluffy. The price would be the one negative. Its a long way to go for a casual round of golf. If you are headed to the area for a break or small vacation it is worth checking into but the price might scare you away.

Played on Sunday 1/10 with the GK family. It was a long drive for us, through snow, and we almost didn't make it. So glad we did! The course is, as others have said, in GREAT condition! The fairways are perfect- didn't see any damage anywhere. The rough is good. The sand is really nice, soft and deep. (I tried it out on many holes!) The greens were in good shape. I didn't find that they held very well and watched quite a few awesome shots roll into miserable shots but that's typical desert winter greens. :-) What I LOVED was how fast they were on the front 9 and how convoluted all the greens are. I really enjoy a good putting challenge! As they dried out and warmed up, and as the sun moved, the grain changed and they really slowed down on the back. Had to readjust the putting stroke. What I would really like to commend the course on was the condition of the tee boxes! It seems in today's world the forward tees are often ignored. But these were in incredible condition- no real damage and LEVEL. That's a pet peeve of mine so I really want to congratulate, and thank, whoever's job it is to keep them in good condition! All of the staff has been wonderful each time we've played here. You'd think perhaps it was because a group of GKers was here but I have to say they were super nice and very attentive each time! The restaurant is cozy and a great place to hang out after a round. Like someone else said I was disappointed in my food and in the choices we were offered. I'm sure there is another menu somewhere as the restaurant has a fine reputation but I didn't see that menu nor the food they are well known for. I'm glad we made the trip and I always look forward to coming back. Playing with the GK family is just a top notch experience anyway. I was happy to meet Wendy and to finally meet Mark in person. It's fun to connect screen names to real people!! We had a great time in our foursome and hope to repeat it! I highly encourage anyone to make a weekend out of it and stay locally. Ram's Hill has some good deals to offer and Borrego Springs is a friendly little town with a good Italian restaurant, and a superb breakfast place (the Red Ocotillo?). It makes for a very relaxing weekend with some great golf!

Great weather, great group, and great golf at Rams Hill at the GHK Plays 1/1-0/2016. This was my second time at Rams Hill and I enjoyed it much more this time, as I was better prepared for what the course requires of the player. I was able to get off the tees pretty well and have reasonable approaches to the greens, rather than trying to scramble to these undulating, elevated greens surrounded by sand and humps. Poor drives result in the need to lay up and then rely on your short game to pitch close to the pin with the green well above you, and sink putts on these subtle greens.

We were all worried about rain or snow, but the days leading up to the event were mild and gameday was very pleasant with mostly sun and almost no wind. All aspects of the course were in wonderful condition – I don’t think I had a bad lie anywhere all day. Thanks to GKers stickboy and mpisarski01, and of course JohnnyGK, for a very enjoyable round. Great service from all personnel throughout the round, and food and fun afterward was great.
