I Recommend This Course
Forgiving, fun, great value
With the exception of a few burnt out fairways and tee boxes, the course is very playable and being well kept. There are some beautiful holes on the back with lots of water. You can score here - the fairways are normally wide open with only a thin tree-line and the greens roll true.

TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY
RSJ is what it is, fun course always above par greens. New ownership has spent a ton here and it shows. The Fairways are a huge improvement of late. Always fun rounds, I hear GPS on carts is around the corner.

Adequate course conditions - under improvement
Good for an adequate round. Not especially challenging. The course is being upgraded it seems.
The practice ground close by is very expensive and has a terrible putting green.

Great Layout
Rancho is a short course for better players and offers a lot of short wedges and irons into greens. They need to work on their greens and make sure people are fixing their ball marks. The green were shaggy and very bumpy.
