This golf course is in bad shape.

This course is completely run down

Not worth even playing for free.

Slow

5 hours to play a beat up course with horrible greens and puddles all over the course because of the ancient water system. Staff is just collecting a pay check and does not care about the golfers. It’s sad this once iconic golf course has turned into a piece of crap

Course issues

The course is in rough shape. Several greens are not up to par, several fairways with no grass, lots of mud everywhere, lots of gopher holes in the fairways, and some of the tee boxes are in bad shape. Its quite expensive to play when compared to other golf courses in the area with the shape its in. Staff were extremely friendly. My complaint is only the condition of the course.

Hidden Gem!

Francisco Grande is a fun, well-designed course that rewards smart shot placement. Fairways are forgiving, greens roll true, and the layout keeps things interesting without being overly punishing. Pace of play is solid, staff is friendly, and the overall vibe is relaxed. Definitely worth a round if you’re in the area. ⛳️
