Sonoma Ranch Golf Course

I've played this course for over 20 years. It is usually one to the best courses in this borderland area. The greens were in good shape but slower than normal.
The tee boxes need so weed killer and the fairways which use to be perfect were patchy. I'm sure they'll whip it back into shape soon enough.

Not sure if anyone on las cruces understands golf pace of play concept, not even the so call Marshall’s

I remain steadfast in my thinking that a golf course ranger's job should be to help golfers finish their round in a time appropriate for the course and not to roll up on people on the second hole of their round to ask them to slow down because " . . . it is going to be real slow out there." This course's greens are in good shape, but the rest of the place needs a lot of care ---- fairways and rough are barren of grass, and bunkers are full of rocks and have an uneven spread of sand. But my big complaint is the pace of play. It seems that Sonoma ranch thinks it is okay with a 5.30 hour round. If that's your cup of tea and you don't mind hitting off dirt and sand, well this is your track. As for me, I left after 8 because things were so slow and the only time I saw the ranger was on the second hole when he asked me to play slower.

The front 9 we were running into each group—frustrating. However, when I went to play the back (my preference)no one was there! Very strange.
