Note from JohnnyGK:

– World Class Golf Resort – Desert Willow GR’s Firecliff Course

– Its been 11 years since we returned to Desert Willow Golf Resort for our year end event … Immaculate spectacular golf course, amazing patio to have our after round gathering … what took us so long?

– If you’ve ever attended our year end events you know how fun they are. You also know it sometimes feels like Christmas (with even Santa showing up one year) with all the goodies we give out. This year we’ll have Linksoul, Golfmoose, OnCore Golf Balls and more sponsors I’m excited about. There is definately something for everyone.

– The year end event also attracts GKers who travel from out of state … and at times from out of country to play.

– Desert Willow Golf Resort is 10+ years supporter of our GK community.

– Not sure what else to say other than I love seeing and hanging out with all or you. Come Play!

Thanks!

Played July 9 with Gurus JohnnyGK and Gary00. First time back to Enagic / Eastlake in 20 years. Some really nice views out here. Nice breeze made it very comfy out there, an easy course to walk.

Something you don’t see much of these days, a course actually making a serious effort to improve. They are adding bunkers, adding some length with new tees, increasing the size of some greens. Grass range is decent. Two large putting greens and a chipping green.

The course layout is a nice mix. Although it runs through a housing tract, there is a ton of space and the fairways are much lower than the houses and both sides slope towards the fairways. The result is the houses rarely come into mind at all, you’d have to be 50 yards offline in the air to risk a house.

The Review

Generally, the course is in good condition. Greens were nice, generally soft but you would get a firm bounce once in a while. Fairways are good, very nice grass coverage. The rough can be penal in spots with very thick grass. Bunkers were nice. There are many areas being worked on, so you will get a bad lie once in a while.

In all, I really enjoyed the layout, and this definitely looks like a course on the way up. The SD county rates seem reasonable to me and if I was in county I’d add Enagic to my rotation. A bit to long of a drive to get there from San Clemente to pay the much higher out of county rates for me though. But I do hope it is not another 20 years until I return. Recommended!

GK Plays Round Up: Rams Hill Golf Club Borrego Springs California

Rams Hill Golf Club

GK Plays Round Up and Golf Course Review

Reviewed by: JohnnyGK, Thousand Oaks
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.
