Good Fun

Played 36 the other day. This is a nice layout. These people know to take care of there course. Greens were superb, the bunkers have plenty of sand, fairways were fine, and even the rough was well kept . Challenging enough even for the claimed single digit handicapper IMO. Despite105 deg forecast, it didn't feel that hot. Staff was super friendly/accommodating. Great place to get away for the day (drive from San Diego was easy and scenic) or a couple days. There open every day in June and from Thurs - Sund thru August. We appreciate you stating open for the summer. Great golf for the price.

Great out of the way spot in the desert

My wife and I spend a few days in Borrego Springs in late April after the majority of the tourists and snowbirds go home. We played three days in the late morning/early afternoon and nearly had the course to ourselves. There are a variety of tees for varying abilities. Course is well-bunkered but not ridiculous. Course conditions were superb. Practice area includes a driving range, 2 putting greens and a nice short game area. We loved it!

First time at Borrego Springs Resort

Even though the wind was blowing between 15/20 mph the course conditions and play-ability of the course made it fun and fare. We played the white tees (men's forward), approximately 5,600 yards, if you want more of a challenge you can go all the way back to 7,000 yards.
The greens were perfect, soft enough to allow an approach shot to bite yet fast enough to get your attention when putting.
Some of the par 4's and 5's required a blind tee shot but other than that the course layout is pretty much right in front of you.
Can't wait to get back to the Borrego Springs Resort, highly recommend it.

Love this course!

We were supplied with a cart and cooler containing ice and bottled water. Free range balls are offered which was convenient as we only wanted to hit 10 or 12 balls each anyway. Fine putting and chipping greens for practice. On the course the rough and fairways were appropriately trimmed. Large landing areas for the average golfer's tee shots. Fairway bunkers galore to capture the long hitter's balls and everyone's truly errant shots. Putts roll true on excellent greens. We look forward to returning

Borrego surprise

Played from the whites as I hadn't played this course and it played short and probably a bit easier which allowed me to shoot my best round during my vacation in Palm Springs. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition and perfect weather made it a fun round for my wife and I. Bit of a drive to get here as it is only about 45 miles as the crow flies but 82 miles to drive so need to allow yourself time to get here but course was worth it if only to play it once. Beautiful mountain scenery surrounds you during your play.

SsssssLooooW

Played Borrego Springs for the first time. Staff was friendly and inviting. The layout was average, the fairways and the rough were fine. The greens were like a carpet but were soooo Slow. The pace of play was very slow as well as we had a foursome in front of us that just were not in a hurry. Almost 3 hours for the front 9. They quit after the front and we played the back in 2 hours.

Very Nice Course .. but a long drive

Surprisingly good course for out in the middle of nowhere. Drive is pretty much 90 mins from the Palm Desert area. For the pricepoint it’s worth the drive once just to play it ... there’s really no service so as long as you’re expecting just to play golf and handle everything yourself, then you’ll enjoy the golf

Amazing oasis!

The course is beautiful and impeccably maintained. It’s a classic “desert oasis” style course and they do it very well. I’ve been here many times and the pace is great.
The restaurant does not seem to care, really. We wanted to get a cocktail to begin our day. “2 Bloody Marys. Make them doubles”
We were charged $32 because one Bloody Mary is $8 so a double must logically be $16. There is a huge disconnect between golf and amenities.
