Westin Rancho

Fairways were green, sand was old and hard with no edging. The rough was mostly made up of weeds. Most holes had backed up to have 2 groups waiting. Not worth the cost of the round.

Good experience

Beautiful day. Pace of play of perfect! Fairways and greens were in great shape, but off the fairways, conditions were shabby. Staff in pro shop and starter were very nice and efficient. Price for the valley was comparable.

Don’t waste your time and money on this course

The front nine is in horrible condition, the back nine is passable. Only holes in good condition are near the hotel/resort, starting and ending holes. The staff that I dealt with were lukewarm to unfriendly. Our foursome matched up by the starter all couldn’t believe the poor condition and were thankful that they had only paid a reduced mid afternoon rate.

you had better keep it in the fairway and on the green

Westin resort Pete dye course had great fairways and greens, but they’re rough area and the area around the greens and the sand traps were horrendous. Fauci, your regular turf around the greens and the sand traps hardly had any sand in them and were hard.

A noticeable decrease in quality since the last time I played the course 10 years ago.

Almost great

Tee to green the course is in very nice shape. The rough looks as if they did not overseed and is spotty with weeds and bare spots. The bunkers are terrible. This really affected my rating. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Pete Dye…..

I have avoided Pete Dye courses for the last several years, but my game has improved and thought we’d try this one. We’re big fans of the other Westin Mission Hills Course.

The staff was welcoming and personable. The range and chipping and putting greens were fine. My reason for never wanting to go back is the course itself.

This is not a “resort” course. It’s in beautiful shape on the holes you can see from the Westin, but once you get away from the hotel, it’s not in great condition. The rough on most holes is weedy and bare dirt. The bunkers are rock hard. The fairways are hard, and with Pete Dye’s mounding you just have to watch and see where your ball is going to go. Greens were different from the practice green, but they all seemed to roll at different speeds.

There is nothing fun or relaxing or “resort” about this course. It was the first time in a long time I (and all my playing partners” was glad a round was over. Sorry Westin, we’ll stick with the Gary Player.

Nice track- terrible maintenance

I have played here many years ago and it was in great shape. It is a Pete Dye so it is challenging but fun. It needs a lot of love and care now! The 'rough' is just whatever will grow and dirt. There is no sand in the traps etc etc. I will not go back.
