Quality Course!

Had a 420 p.m. twilight tee time. Fun course that me and a couple other people finished just under the cover of darkness! Great, challenging course layout with beautiful landscapes and excellent views on every hole. The greens at Tustin Ranch are amongst the most difficult in all of Orange County. Aside from only a couple greens being spotty, they run quick and cannot remember any green not having less than two tiers to it, so having a quality short game is a must! Although a little pricier than some similar courses, would definitely recommend playing this course if given the opportunity.

Good course but awful players

I love this course and have been playing at least once a week for the past months. I played there with my son and the pace of play was slow but now awful. But the four-some behind us were annoying because they played as if the two-some in front of them were invisible. They hit the balls right away we finished our second or third shots within 20-30 yards distance. I usually play the blue tee but yesterday played the white as the tee boxes got crowded in par 3 halls with 2-3 teams lining up in that area. I just wanted to allow enough waiting room for the players behind us. But they put their balls on a tee while I was preparing my tee shots. The others in the carts showed no decency either as they talked loudly exclusively enjoying their time. At one of those tee boxes I asked for their cooperation only to no avail. Thank you gentlemen for showing my son the worst golf manner not to be learned. The tuituin was expensive green fees and several bad tee shots on my side. Never want to cross this people again, but if I do in the near future, I would let them go first for the peace of my mind.

Good course, but really not worth the price

This course has really great bones. Love the setup, and the positions it can put you in to make risk-reward decisions, But the price to play, in the condition the course is in, should probably be $100 instead of $150. The greens were mostly nice and fast around the holes, but every one had patches of dirt or disease or burnout. That's just not something you see at this price point. The fairway-rough transition area was just not as clean as it should be, and the tee boxes and rough were not very well maintained. This would be fine at a $50 muni, but you're paying $150 to play on the weekend. Also didn't like that there's no discount for walking, and it is a walkable course.

Overpriced and Poor Conditons

Definitely won’t be coming back. Hoped things would have improved because I understand that this is a Troon property now, but not the case. One of the worst “bang-for-the-buck” courses I’ve visited. Tijeras Creek (another Troon property) is cheaper, much nicer and only 20 minutes away.

Poorly Maintained for the price

Save your money and play Black Gold, coyote or Anaheim hills. Even Costa Mesa Country Club (way cheaper) is maintained better.
