Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course

Extremely disappointed . I was ripped off for $400 for a group of 4. There is mud, dirt, and dead grass everywhere. This should have been a $30 round. I would not recommend playing here. The pace of play was also very slow.

Fun course. Some great holes, some not so great. Fairways not in great condition and several spots with muddy spots. Most greens in very good shape some not so much. Took forever to play 18 holes.

This was the slowest round of golf ever! 3 hours to cover 10 holes. I left after 13 holes. Tee’s off before 10am.

Sadly has lots of potential but the course is in rough shape.

It was very windy when we arrived. Many people had canceled. They should have offered us a cancellation as the entire course was covered with palm, fronds, leaves, and branches and the greens were totally covered with all kinds of seeds from the palm trees, making putting impossible.

We like it as a local course in our rotation. However for some reason it was so wet that day. Really soaked with lots of sections of wet and muddy unplayable areas.

Normally the price is a good value. However the course was in awful condition and was charged full price. Although there had been no rain recently, there was mud on nearly every hole. Including tire tracks across the fairway that dug up the mud. If a tee box was relocated temporally for ground under repair, the temporary tee box was placed into the rough, and not cut to a lower height. So a driver tee height looked like a wood tee height. A few sand traps had grass growing in them. And several of the greens were patched up in some way. Enough to take relief because the manner in which they were patched up were going to cause the putt to go offline. If a course is going to be under this many repairs and in this state, the pricing should reflect it.

RSJ has always struggled with conditions but it is awful right now. Too many dirt spots on the fairway, horrible tee boxes and average at best greens. With these conditions and still several path-only holes. It's a fun course but plays like a $20 muni not an $85 course.

The course condition itself was not that good, but the greens were excellent, which made it enjoyable. It looks like they’re trying to do some work around the course. Hopefully things will improve in the future a nice round of golf from someone coming from Minnesota.

It is impossible and frustrating to see even a 3 or 4 star let alone 5 star review for this dog track. No golfer who plays even 3 times a year could honestly say this is a worthwhile golf course, unless they were paid for their review. IF it was in great shape it would be an average uninspired layout. BUT... It is not even in OK shape...every aspect of the course is bad. Greens are patchy with burned spots and different weed grasses, couple that with rounded holes lead to bumpy and unpredictable putting. Bunkers are hard packed with sparse coarsely grained sand and standing water. Fringes have bare spots AND untrimmed kikuyu grass in spots. The weedy fairways are patched with dry bare spots AND wet standing water areas. Couple that with old broken down carts and a combo of uncaring or even rude clubhouse workers and you have a 1 star experience at best. It doesn't matter if the putting green is nice or that they have ok sandwiches...it is not a restaurant or picture venue...it's a golf course, and a really poorly maintained one at that.

The fairways were a disaster! Some were wet like a swamp, some were dry like August, the greens were quick and there was no previous notice given that 4 holes were cart path only! What a joke- and it wasn’t funny! The people who worked there are very cordial!

Avoid unless you enjoy 5 hour rounds, horrible tee boxes, weeds and geese droppings everywhere. Make sure to clean your cleats thoroughly after your round. One positive is the food at the on-site restaurant, but that’s about it.

It’s a fun course and layout. But conditions are absolutely horrendous. The price is so hard to comprehend. $70 is not worth it at all. Riverview is equally as bad as far as conditions go, and charges $40. Changes need to be made immediately in order for the course to reflect the price.

Course is so wet here and there due to overwatering, and fairway and greenside conditions is so poor. Not recommended.
