Decent Public Course
Prices are getting insane and even getting a tee time is tough without booking way in advance.
We were able to get a good Friday afternoon tee time at a reasonable price booking just a couple days out.
The course is good. Not a laydown but not super challenging. It's not in great shape, but not awful.
They had recently punched and sanded the greens and there was no mention when booking. We also had a super slow group in front of us today with at least 2 holes open ahead of them by the time we go to #10. No one from the course said a word and they weren't listening to our requests to pick it up.
Bad experience
No mention on course website about aeration of greens. Course didn’t lower green fees as most courses do to compensate for conditions. When I brought it up to guy in pro shop he was dismissive about it. I have never played the day after greens were punched and sanded. Awful.
Golf cart GPS malfunctioned near green on hole 9. Locked cart even though cart was on cart path. Had to walk to pro shop and have cart GPS reset. All I got was a comment about having issues with the GPS. No apology.
Not worth the price
Will not be my first choice. Totally overpriced golf course. They either need to lower the cost or completely up grade the course.
Rancho Del Sol Review
On a Saturday we arrived early, check in process was simple. Parking is limited, but the course is going over a massive makeover. Bunkers have new sand yet to be filled in the bunkers. The new apartments will be rented soon, i believe they will be building more parking for the course. BMPs are under way through the course. The greens were the highlight of the course, they're in excellent condition. Putts were very true to form. They have elevated tees with incredible views of the town and surrounding mountains. Can't wait for this course to be fully upgraded.
Decent greens and fairways!
Played at 1:15pm. Pace of play was good for the amount of people playing on a Friday. Wasn’t thrilled with the 7 cart path only holes. Greens rolled well, wish people would fix their divots though. Fairways were in good shape. Course is pretty open. I would play here again.
Better than Expected
Despite some negative reviews, I found the course enjoyable and the pace of play better than expected for a Sunday. While the conditions weren’t great, they were reasonable for a heavily played course. Overall, I had a good time and would play here again.
No thanks!
Poor conditions - bad fairways, lots of dirt patches, weeds. Tee boxes bare, greens were good but firm. Cart pat only on ALL holes, makes the cart useless. Pace of play is terrible. Plus they tried to charge me extra $10 above GOLFNOW price for cart! Not coming back for a long time, again.
Rancho San Joaquin 2 some
COURSE PLAYED well. I had a small issue after the first whole, we started earlier which is fine, but the group in front of us was playing for money and they took much longer putting, and practicing putting in front of us. Cool, it's fine when someone wants to replay a loss or a win of a hole, but you have to move on. Tee up and stop the drinking and bull chalking. Our 2 some was delightful, they were friendly and informative players. They gave me free reads, they helped me shoot birdies and keep pars salvageable. I found water if anyone wants Prov1x go swimming as I lost 2 balls for an 81. Take that shooter.
Cart path only
You MUST relax the cart-path only on any whole which is not a par 3. I can’t believe you think you can do this on par 5’s! I will never come back
Nice course
Pace of play was inconsistent. 4 hours one day 4 and half another. Seems the only time the ambassadors come out is if their asked to. Greens are real good, and there working on the rest of the coarse. I think the value is good people are great and coarse is continuing to get better
Decent but not great
Most of the course is ground under repair and the greens are patchy. Decent speed in greens and slope are challenging. Would be a nice course if kept up.
