Tustin Ranch Golf Club

Course is wet and they just punched and sanded the greens. Otherwise, it’s still good.

They did the aerification yesterday. Not possible to putt for a while

5:20 Tee Time - Got 12 holes in before the sprinklers

got turned on us. Tee boxes good shape , greens had way to many non repaired dead spots from players not fixing the divots . Made putting hard as ball would roll over the spot and make an aggressive move the wrong direction .

Pro shop told me the greens were good but the edges with under construction.

Stay away , I will quit after 9

I’m a Bogey golfer with the ability to be better and the constancy to be worse.

I’ve lived in the area a while now and have kept almost playing at Tustin Ranch and finally pulled the trigger today. 6am tee time and the course took the sunrise and somehow made it even better. Undulating fairways and wide enough that I was challenged but not overwhelmed. The staff was super friendly and I got paired with some great people. Played a little under 4 hours but could have been faster due to our group not playing great. There was gps on the carts and even hand towels. (Nice lil extra). Not super long unless you are playing blacks. Really fun course. But, and there is a small but, the greens are pretty trashed. One of the people I played with is a regular and he said they have been working on them for months now and just aren’t getting better. Mixed grass, missing grass, and some still showing signs of recent/unsuccessful punching, the greens felt like the cheap side of a muni course. But if you end a round and only 1 thing is bad and all the other things are great it still feels great. Paid $125 and 100% felt worth it… except the greens

For $150 a round you would expect a course to be in good shape. The greens here are awful. I would give this place another 3 months to allow for the maintenance team to get this course back on track.

However, if they ever get the greens, fairways and tee boxes in good shape it will be a great course. A ton of upside and pretty cool layout.

Every green has ground under repair as they cut about a 4’ ring around each edge and laid new turf which hasn’t even begun to become part of the green. Greens were also aerated at some point but aren’t healing properly. Puts would literally stop in divots that were just full of sand, no grass. Top it all off with a pace of play that pushed our round within 10 minutes of being 5 hours. The cherry on top? They still continue to charge $130 for this absolute dog track with absolutely no notes, disclaimers or announcements that the course is in this condition.

And oh by the way, the GPS limitations on where you can take carts ON THE FAIRWAYS is brutally limiting. I would guess 40% of the course…the actual fairway and cut rough, are inaccessible by cart.

What a dump.

Our 1st tee off as a foursome started by the arrogant chatty starters who made us wait to tee off on the tee box over 10 minutes because it was not the exact our time yet. There is no one on the fairway or green at all. The course condition was rather poor for the amount I paid ($130 May Sat. afternoon) but layout was good.

On the 10th hole, the Marshall came up to us and told us to PLAY FASTER as the golfer await us behind over 200 yards or so. They had been hitting up on us from time to time because they were 2-some, then became 3-some. Our handicap average was under 15 as one woman's handicap was a single digit.

The Marshall named "Art" told us "Do not argue with me! Just play faster!! Look behind you! They are waiting for you guys!!!" It was yelling. We tried to tell him on the front nine; trying to complaint about 2-some behind hitting up on us. He just drive away ignoring us or could not hear our loud call.

We had such a bitter terrible experiences. :-( :-(

The course is not in good shape for the amount they charge. Plus the golf carts are a pain in the butt because they limit where they can go via gps. Not worth the money!

This course used to be something worth paying for, not any more. I know CV challenged everyone, but this course seems to been affected more than normal. Or, they (ownership/management) just don't do a good job or don't really care. Too bad this has happened to TR. Now there are many other better options to experience in OC. I won't "never" play there again, but I won't work very hard to make it happen.

It was not good annual Mother's day golf-outing at the Tustin Ranch.

The check-in was very pleasant greeted by a polite young man at the desk. He let my daughter use their putter as she forgot it at home.

The Starters were rather unprofessional gentlemen overly chattering each other with their personal matter.

There were no players ahead of us but we as foursome had to kill our time at the first tee for 15 min. (the practice green right next to the 1st tee did not have any holes). The reason was "IT IS THE POLICY, WE CAN NOT LET YOU START BEFORE THE EXACT TIME".

The course layout was beautiful.

The fairway was very poor not reflecting their rate at all. The greens were so sad; had too many divots and sands.

After the few holes done, the twosome behind started hitting up on us very close that a few times the balls came up very close to our feet. From time to time, they were behind us around 200 yards or so but it's normal. We finally saw a Marshall driving so we wanted talk to him. He waived at us so we loudly tried to take his attention several times. He probably couldn't hear us so just drove away.

On back 9 some hole, the Marshall came up to us said we are too slow. We finished front 9 in less than 2 hours. The couple's handicaps that we hooked up are 10 to 12, and my handicap is 19. We were ahead of standard pace. The Marshall (his name was ART) told us "look at behind you, they are waiting for you so play faster".

We explained we tried to take the Marshall's attention to complaint about the men behind us. The Marshall (ART) told us "Do not argue with me I am the Marshall here" He loudly shouted on us "DO NOT ARGUE WITH ME". We thought "were we argued????

What an awful experience we ever had at the rate of $150 to $170 course with the Marshall's statement of "Do not argue with me". It was very upsetting golfing day at the Tustin Ranch GC.

It was very sad that this course is our neighbor in OC.

. .

great course conditions greens are almost back to good except for two greens that have a disease. paid $50 on a hot deal only way I would ever play this course rack rate $110. oak creek in Irvine and Tustin ranch have overpriced OC golf in common

A fantastic day of golf. A definite don't miss golf experience.
