Thank you so much Hannah & Tanner for helping us have a wonderful and successful horseback riding experience. We truly enjoyed and loved the entire experience. From grooming/brushing and bonding with your particular horse, to trail riding with the horses. It was very relaxing, relieving much unnecessary stress, and brought in much needed peace! Raven is such a love. Also, Fancy and Rebel! Lots of beauty and fun!!! Lovely owners, beautiful horses and a stunning property to boot! Afterwards we went on over to the Watershed and met Sherry (such a sweetheart) and got to enjoy the BEST root beers. Thanks again! DeAnne, Brian & Curtis

We said we were looking for the tasting room from the signs and he started flipping out screaming that we better get out of here, and we had no business there. We quickly got out of there because the guy seemed seriously unhinged. Not sure how they are for wedding receptions but i wouldn't go near there without arranging things ahead of time and having a sheriff escort you there with copies of your correspondence just to be safe. Ps if the owner sees this review please just put up another sign by the main one saying appointment only or something. It only costs about 15 bucks in supplies and would maybe save a life.

I didn't take pics inside because they were getting ready for an event and I didn't want the little one in the pic. There was also a kids room separate from the main room. Nice place. The lady who showed me around was very nice. Have people decorate well and the place can be magical. It's definitely a contender.

Another great Fazio course! The layout and course conditions were top-notch from start to finish…read more One of the standout touches? Free tacos at the turn -- such a fun and unexpected service perk that really hit the spot. We had several meals at the clubhouse during our stay, and overall the food was solid and the cocktails definitely delivered. That said, during peak times, service can slow down quite a bit -- something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule. We booked the stay & play package and made the most of it. By the fourth round (thanks to the free replays), we really got to know the course well. If you're striking it well off the tee and can read the greens, there are definitely scoring opportunities. But when the wind picks up, it adds a serious layer of difficulty -- so adjust expectations accordingly. All in all, a memorable trip and a course I'd absolutely recommend if you haven't played it yet.

I finally made it back out to Rams Hill Golf Club. I've visited a few times recently, but only for…read morelunch and to enjoy the great atmosphere--this time, I was excited to get back on the course. My son flew in from Dallas, Texas for his birthday, and playing this beautiful desert layout was at the top of his list. One of the perks that sealed the deal was Rams Hill's generous birthday offer--free play after 12pm. A classy gesture from a course that's long been one of my favorites in Southern California. The only downside? It wasn't my birthday. With rates having climbed significantly, I did my best to convince my son to consider a more affordable option--maybe even something closer to home--but he held firm. He knew this course had always been high on my list, and he wanted to experience it for himself. As always, we were greeted with friendly smiles upon arrival. We warmed up on the range and soon met our starter, Don, who got us going. He mentioned the cart service running throughout the round and also let us in on a great surprise--complimentary street-style tacos on the 14th. That definitely raised some excitement. This course truly is a visual treat. The tee boxes were tidy, and the fairways--at least from the tee--looked lush and inviting. However, it didn't take long to notice something was off. Walking up to the first green, I couldn't help but say, "Yikes." The surface lacked the smoothness and softness I'd come to expect from past rounds here. I stayed optimistic, hoping it was just an isolated issue. Unfortunately, while the greens improved slightly as we went on, the fairways told a different story. Several holes had patchy or thin lies, and in some areas, it felt like we were hitting off very little grass at all. I found myself increasingly frustrated--not just because I had talked the course up so much to my son, but also because of the price point. When you're paying a premium, it's fair to expect conditions that match. On a positive note, the tacos at the 14th were excellent and a fun touch. However, we never saw the beverage cart for the entire round, which was surprising given it had been mentioned at the start. All in all, Rams Hill still holds a special place for me, but this visit was a letdown compared to past experiences. For now, it may come off my "must-play" recommendation list--at least until either the conditions improve or the pricing better reflects the current state of the course.
