Great layout, course isn’t in great shape

Rancho San Joaquin has a great layout. The course is t in great shape. 16th hole has a temporary green. Some of the holes like 18th is cart path only resulting in slow play on those holes. Pricing is great.

unlikely to play there again

$99 per person way to much $$ for this course.

Our tee time was set for 1;51 PM. We were unable to tee off until 2:20 PM.

There were not enough golf carts. We had to wait for earlier golfers to finish to get our golf carts.

This golf course owes me a refund or a rebate or a free round. Only them would I play this course again.

TO BE FAIR - the course was in excellent condition, the staff that worked there were nice and the food was pretty good.

Great Course!

Great course and reasonably priced here at Golf Now. Pace can be slow but we felt every one was moving together. Great course overall and a fantastic restaurant. Probably one of the best around on food quality and taste. Will definitely come back!!

Pace of play and 5some in group in front

There was a 5some in front of us and we had to wait at least 5-10 minutes at every hole. The GPS said that we were at least 15-20 mins behind pace. We didn’t get to finish the round due to not enough light. Please have Marshall to monitor pace of play.

Wouldn’t play here again, it is super overpriced for what you get. The course layout is very fun and challenging but it is all dead or overgrown. The greens a were pretty beat up and the pace was pretty bad for a 80$+ round in the afternoon. Wont be playing here until the grass improves or they lower prices.

Better Fairways

It’s taken decades, but the fairways have finally improved from poor to average - Not far to go to good. Keep up the good work!
