Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course

Greens are fantastic, but several fairways have extensive maintenance going on. Good use of “Ambassadors” and “Marshals”. Restaurant is undergoing a full rebuild, very limited refreshment selection in cold case.

Pace of play was decent for once. finished in 4 hours 10 min. on a Thus. 12:20 tee time. That is considered very good for this course as it is well known to be one of the slowest in O.C. The one thing I don't like about this course is it's location...It's right up the Back Bay and the wind funnels through the back bay right to the course...Then like clock work around 2 to 2:30 the wind turns direction and blows back out to the ocean, meaning it seems almost every hole is into the wind....Sometimes. Greens where in great shape and the pin placements where tough.

This course is usually in pretty decent shape and greens are typically above average. This round fell short of my expectations but hopefully they’ll get it back into shape. Pace was really bad as it took about 5 hours to complete round. Definitely not worth $90 but will play here again at some point.

Enjoyed day, but foursome in front were very slow. Had to wAit to tee off 90% of the time. Front nine took 2 and 1/2 hours. Could a course manager be available to help move all groups playing too slow?

Greens and fairways in good shape, they’re putting more attention to course overall

Play there every time I can. Overall everything is great. Local course. Love it 😀

Nice course. Some fairway condition issues but not terrible. We had a twosome cut in on us after the front nine and things were going to be tight anyway.. Finished at dusk but should have been done 20 minutes before. Nothing but a shrug from staff when mentioned. Staff were great at check in and at the Starter's kiosk

Played there today. Have been a member on and off since 2009 when I moved out from Chicago. Layout is great, but nobody there knows how to tend to a course. I've played on courses in the middle of Winter back in Chicago that are in better shape. Does anyone there know the difference in cut between a fairway and rough, or how to manicure a green. 5' downhill puts should not require a driver to get the ball to the hole. Learn how to roll and cut a green. You should hire someone from Shorecliffs played there last week, same amount of rain even though they too are doing work on course and clubhouse (don't get me started there) course is night and day better. As for clubhouse and bar, whoever your contractor is they really have no clue. I specialize in restaurants and from time you started to now you would be about 3 weeks from open date. Better change your sign to fall 2023 at this rate.

I live right next to this course and will not be playing here again any time soon. The price to walk is astronomical for what the course is in perfect condition, and it's nowhere near that. The rain hasn't allowed them to mow, which is fine, but maybe consider mentioning the half the greens are punched when the tee time is being booked. There must have been a league or tournament as well as the front 9 took nearly 3 hours. Sucks this place isn't run better cuz I would be here 2-3 times a month. Plan for an extra 30 at least if you want to hit the range as every bay is full and has a person waiting.
