Dublin Ranch Golf Course

The course has gotten so slow you can’t justify it. There was a frost delay this time, so it was even worse than usual. Three groups stacked at every hole complaining about how slow this course is. It’s a mess. Never going back. Out of the rotation

Since. The new grounds keeper came on board the course is 100% better…

The best part of yesterday's round was the beautiful sunny weather after several weeks of constant rains.

The worst part was pace of play. From noon to 3:30 p.m. there was no ambassador riding around to encourage proper pace of play. As a result we had to wait on over half the holes, sometimes where there were two groups waiting it'd take another 10 to12 minutes to finally tee off. Waiting has never improved my scores.

It was a windy January day. We only played nine because of the pace of play. It seemed like every hole the wind was blowing straight at us.. I will try it again when it's not windy.

This course was in pretty good shape and drains better than most in the Bay Area, but expect cart path only if you don't plan to walk. A few other courses had rain/flood closures the day I played here. Stay right on the two par 5's, #9, and #16 and you can save yourself a lot of walking thru wet turf. Most traps had standing water, enough where you can lose your ball if the water is murky as I did in a bunker on #10. Other than that, the only standing water was just in front of #2 green. Greens were in good shape except for the numerous unrepaired ballmarks on mostly par 3's. Pace of play was great, taking less than 3 12 hours!

My Review of this "Golf Course" is simply this. If Youre a hundred years old and don't know any better you may find yourself golfing at Dublin Ranch. But make sure you steer clear of the GM there. He throws people in Jail for using the Practice Green.

Course was in great condition. Lots of pat threes.
