Rancho Manana Golf Club

Really nice course but better keep the driver in the trunk though. Words to the wise..

We had hoped to impress our out of town guests with the beautiful views and fun experience, and instead we had a Marshall who pushed us on the third hole and we ended up waiting on two parties ahead of us. We explained that the party ahead was still on the green and we let one member of our party (new golfer) take their time because we were waiting anyway. That move screwed up all our scores, affected our vibe, and was totally not necessary because it wasn’t our fault. We’ve played that course several times and yes - pace of play is always a challenge - but address the problem, not the people who are stuck behind the problem. And we must not have been the first ones to experience this, because we heard actual yelling, cursing, and conflict from several parties. The Marshalls words were, “We have over 200 golfers scheduled today, you have to hurry up.” Well sorry, buddy, that yall overbooked your course but we deserve to play our round like everyone else. We won’t be bringing guests there again.

If you want a standard let it fly course this isn’t your track. If you enjoy strategizing and risk/reward Rancho’s fun. Plenty of elevation change and some interesting holes to challenge your accuracy

This is a very short and tight par 70 course. Greens are difficult and most are very small. Several scenic downhills par 3 holes and one challenging (very) uphill par 4 hole. I enjoyed the day but felt like they didn’t have room to build golf course. A couple of par 4s were long par 3 length (250 ish)

Greens as i said were very small, so sharpen your approach game or your short game - you will probably need both.

Must hit them straight! Friendly course for women. Picturesque!

Course was well maintained and in excellent condition. You did have to go through some construction as they are building a new bridge. Course is definitely target Golf narrow fairways, but beautifully maintained..

Great conditions but slow play due to construction and cart path only

Really enjoyed this course. Great value for the money. Great conditions. Can’t wait to go back and play it again. Has some really cool holes.

Very nice course but the bridge construction takes away from a couple holes

What a great course

This course is a one & done for me. From the “tips” it plays only 6,000 yards. Greens are postage stamps, fairways are narrow, tee boxes have grass akin to rough at some courses. I do not see why they’re still charging upwards of $100 for what you get. All in all, I was disappointed with everything about course. It’s the epitome of target golf with extreme elevation changes, fairways that cut on strange angles from the tee box, and greens that don’t allow for any errors. There’s not one area of the course that provides any kind of reprieve from the brutality; even Pete Dye designs provide wide fairways and only punish at the green complex - this course punishes from tee to green and you’re simply not able to miss a shot, even a couple yards off target will result in penalization, either of your scorer, your mental well-being, or both. The views are magnificent and the place is lush and green, but those two values alone aren’t enough to pull me back into the fold here.

Beautiful tranquil views, grass and greens were well kept. Cart path is under construction on 3/9. Course is a little short, might play the back tees next time. Overall satisfied with the round.
