Menifee Lakes Country Club

About this course
The Palms at Menifee Lakes, a public course in the eponymous Southern California community, offers a classic resort-style golfing experience amid a landscape more reminiscent of the inland empire. Designed by Ted Robinson Sr., the course favors neither prodigious length nor penal design, a strategic departure from many modern championship layouts. Instead, The Palms rewards calculated risk-taking and well-placed approach shots across its subtly undulating terrain. While not a host to major professional tournaments, The Palms has long been a popular destination for local amateurs and recreational golfers alike. It plays as a fair test for all levels, a course where a strategic round can be just as successful as a powerful one. It's not a course discussed in the same breath as its more celebrated SoCal cousins, but the loyal patronage suggests a comfortable space in the local golfing landscape. The Palms at Menifee Lakes is regarded as a course that offers a laid-back experience and a family-friendly atmosphere. The club is known for its friendly staff and commitment to providing a welcoming environment for golfers of all skill levels. Known for its post-round patio scene, the venue is a popular destination for local golfers to relax and enjoy time spent in the Southern California sun.

Getting there
Menifee Lakes Country Club is most readily accessed via Ontario International Airport (ONT), roughly forty-five minutes to the northwest, or alternatively through the larger Los Angeles International hub (LAX) for those arriving on major carriers, followed by a ninety-minute drive inland through the sprawling Inland Empire. Private aviation clients will find Menifee's own airstrip a graceful alternative, eliminating the congestion of Southern California's commercial corridors entirely. The drive south from either airport traces a gradual ascent into Riverside County's high desert plateau, where the urban sprawl gradually yields to the quieter residential communities surrounding the club, and the final miles unfold through gated neighborhoods before arriving at Menifee Lakes Country Club's welcoming entrance.
