Rancho Manana Golf Club

Course was in generally good playing condition; though some tee boxes needed leveling, sand traps could use more sand, and greens could use some rolling (as they were exceptionally slow). Pace of play was about 3.5 hours (and I was walking). Value was good with a HotDeal tee time. Go now while prices are low.

It was a great time with 4 of us golfing. Only issue we had was flying balls all over the course.

Bring extra balls….this is a challenging course. Distance doesn’t always means driver. Par threes don’t always mean an eight iron because while you’re 180 yards from box to pin, it’s downhill lie is fifty feet elevation.

Enjoy the views and a delightful meal afterwards at their adjoining grill.

This was my second time playing this course , again I came away very impressed . The scenery is off the charts , better than courses costing far more . I was surprised how good the conditions were considering the middle of August . There are a lot of blind shots and unfortunately no gps in carts ; nevertheless this course will not disappoint you .The fairways and greens are in great shape , bunkers could use a little sand , overall the maintenance is very good . I would highly recommend this course .

You either make the fairway or hunt for your ball in the desert. Lots of blind shots.

Great conditions from tee to green. Greens were rolling slower than expected but we're not bumpy and the speed was consistent on all 18 holes. Good sand and consistency in the bunkers. Gorgeous views and elevation changes. Some holes had bare spots around the fringes and a crabgrass type weed, but for mid-Summer, I really don't have complaints that merit less than 5 stars.

Only problem is with the bunkers.

Hard sand, needs improvement
