Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course

Value, staff and ProShop are great, 5 star! However, the condition of the course needs improvements, 1 star!

Tee box area is bad, fairways and grounds need serious maintenance.

Course maintenance leaves a lot to be desired, tee boxes are terrible and the fairways are neglected including the drainage issues.

Super greedy of this course to charge 101 dollars to play here. My friends and I were absolutely miserable the entire round. Basically step out of the cart into Mud like we were playing on a swap almost everywhere. On top of the poor conditions, the greens were punched and had sand In them

101 is the full price to pay there. Should have been a huge discount to play. I played black gold two weeks ago and then only charged 81 to play there cause the greens were punched. Very disappointing round.

This course has so much potential and offers a very convenient and fun round of golf but the course conditions need work. We haven’t had rain in California in over four months (in fact this summer has been unusually hot) but the course was very muddy and soggy in so many places that I found it unacceptable. There is clearly an issue with irrigation which could explain the heaps of sand on the greens making the approach, as well as putting, very difficult and unpredictable. A few of the holes had the tee boxes bunched together in one spot, not good. I found their mixed cocktails to be very poor quality and lacking good taste; using cheap mixers that are just flat out bad does not work (anymore). As a local OC resident for over 30 years that has played here before many times, I hope they improve this place.

I got a letter from the Rancho GM about course improvements. I should have paid closer attention. The greens were just punched, they just started their irrigation (their irrigation has always been horrible - most areas are muddy or too dry) and fairway improvement projects. Sand was good but they plan to make it better. The 18th hole fairway was basically low rough. I would not go until early next summer.

On the bright side, they have a nice new restaurant and bar, and their range is awesome - but overpriced and crowded.

Greens were just punched buy no warning. Then the course was almost a swamp today. The were charging full price today with course in bad shape right now.

You SHOULD notify customers of punched greens and relocated t boxes. Golf now does not reflect any of this and the charge is full price.

Great course regardless, flat’ish course with a great pace of play.

This course is in absolute disrepair, a complete rip-off paying over 75$ for the round. If this course was 40$ it would be fine. But for 75$ and all the fairways are a mess, half the greens are being air raided, and the even the tee boxes were in awful condition. NEVER pay that much for this course. Staff is super nice except the high school age kids in golf carts that speed around not acknowledging anyone.

Course condition not good considering the amount of the cart path only holes they have. I would not play unless it a hot deal.

They're just not taking care of this course like they should. Too many areas on fairways/greens w/ little to no grass
