Incompetent golf shop

Cart died at 10 , called ,waited , got a lift on back of a cart to maintain distance due to covid 19 . Fell , hit head , tore shirt and lost drink. Called 3 times talked to 2 different incompetent people in golf shop and was told it's on it's way sorry . Didn't get a cart until the end of 12 , cart kids were polite and courteous , groundskeeper tried to help . Inexcusable lack of work ethic , care and urgency .

Fortunately for the lazy crew in the pro shop there were 6 holes left for me to calm down from the incident .

Overseed

This course overseeded 3 days prior and I was not told about it nor was it on this app alerting me prior to them taking our money. They charged us $110 for the round and people that did not book on golf now $92. The guy in the pro shop didn't seem to think that was an issue. I would not spend the money for this course, it is grossly overpriced.

Fairways are dry, rough is dry, only thing going for it was the greens. Hard as a rock. Do not pay 100+ dollars to play here. Marshall also did not speed up play as our round took over 4 1/2 hours.

Dog Poop

So much dog poop around putting greens. How could they not keep this clean?

Local Gem

I live in the neighborhood and pay for the “monthly” membership. That brings the green fees down such that playing as little as twice a month is a great value. Course is challenging enough and maintained fairly well. Can get slow in the afternoons. Some of the multitiered greens are a bit gimmicky. Overall a bit of a hidden gem in the middle of Orange County.

Great green, sand is good, fun track! I only play during the week. I can imagine weekends can be crazy. Friendly staff and always a refreshment cart on front and back. Countru club feel. I play all over so cal and have several club memberships. Look into TR'S forreak value!

American Golf Ripoff

I recently played Tustin Ranch for my first time this week. Wow was I surprised For the cost i expected more. VERY POOR Course Conditions, Gardeners driving their equipment all over the course not caring

if someone is on the tee box or not. Let alone on the green either They Don't Know or They Don't Care.

No wonder it's 3 out of 5 stars next to Rancho San Joaquin. Both are run by American Golf.

Very disappointed , The fairways are dirt patch, on the green the previous hole changes are mostly dead. Don't call your self a "First Class Golf Course"

Low Class Golf Course , run by a company that cares more about money than anything else.

Sanyo has a great loss of face with this property and they deserve it ! it's an embarrassment

I will Never Golf There Again !

Cancelled membership

Third round in a row that was well over 5 hours. Second time offered a rain check but it's just not worth it. This time the excuse was they had a tournament. Scramble tournaments are supposed to speed up play. The cost coupled with the now lack of enjoyment at the course at this time one that will be removed from our courses to play locally.

Not worth the price

Course was in good shape. Pace was decent (although this is the first time I’ve played this course in under 5 hrs-usually it’s terrible pace). No cart girl. Wayyyy better value at several other courses (Talega, Black Gold, etc). This should not be a $165 round of golf. Maybe $95.

Super soft greens

Was looking for a nice course to play from Scottsdale AZ. I saw this course online that had GPS and was in Orange County so I took a chance. The course was green and in great condition. Nice sand traps and super soft greens. A bit pricey but you pay for what you get and I liked this course for my skill level handicap 14. I’m going to play again when I come back out.

Cow pasture

If I'm paying 195.00 for green fees you would think the course would be in pristine shape! don't let the price fool you this is place is like playing in a cow pasture. Tee boxes have no grass on them the greens have ball marks all over them and were very bumpy the fairways are very patchy with clumpy grass. Pace of play was very very slow didn't see a Marshall once in the five hours and 15 minutes it took the play, maybe I'm just spoiled with the desert courses I'm used to playing

Tustin Ranch is GREEN

Wow, Tustin Ranch did you find a secret water well? This place is green and looks fantastic for end of summer golf in SoCal. You need to give your Super a raise, because all CA public supers should come study this.

Played here 10x in past two years and this is the best I have seen it. POP was 4:15, which is a little long for me on a Wednesday but fine.

Tees boxes are the only gripe here and they are still pretty good. Some bunkers need some more sand but most are good. Green are slow but roll well. Nice to be able to get a little loose with the Driver and still be fine. Great piece of property overall. Well designed course and highly recommended in its current state.
