Rancho Maria Golf Club

A very well kept course in spite of drought. Super pleasant afternoon.

It's a nice course for the price.

Considering the current drought the course is in great shape compared to many in the area.

Enjoyed the round, even though we had a cart problem, which the pro shop quickly addressed.

Fun challenging course with great views. Little gopher problems off course, but under control. Fairway nice and greens in good shape.

One complaint is they need to have flags of different color "red, white and blue" so you know where the pin placement is (front, middle or back)!

Enjoy the openness with no homes surrounding the course. The course is older but well taken care.

Over all, I think this course is a good value for the money!

Course is in great shape but the wind was horrendous, was fun anyways and wind did it take away from the course. Would recommend as a nice place to play

With a very strong wind blowing, the course was difficult, but all in all, pretty well maintained. The greens are in excellent shape. The fairways need to be punched, but most public courses don't do that. The main negative of this interesting track is that many of the tee boxes are very bumpy, tilted, and undulating. They need be leveled. They should have been leveled when the course was built in 1965. A great value on Golfnow.com

I'm in SM once a month so I've played here a couple times. The first time I walked off after finishing hole 14 at 5 hours on a Tuesday. This time the Course Marshall was harassing my buddy and I when we finished the second hole (3 pars and a birdie) asking us to skip the next hole because there was a tournament that went off behind us. We respectfully declined as we weren't holding the group up by any means. We even put an open hole between us. But I guess the Marshall didn't appreciate our decline so he followed us closely the next few holes like we were on the clock. I talked to him about it but he said his job was to bother us. Great customer service. There are plenty of other much better courses in the area. I won't be back.

This is my home course. The course it self is usually in great shape. pace of play can be slow at times, that staff is friendly (most of the time). The grill serves an awesome hot dog, however the club house use a major overhaul.

Very nice course for the average golfer. Greens are challenging and overall the condition of the course was good. I paid for 18 holes on a Monday but only played 10. There happened to be a tournament that was ahead of me and it stacked the course. Took 3 hours for those 10 holes which was a bummer. The back 9 looked like fun but didn't get a chance to play it.

I'll definitely try this course again when I'm back in the are.

Nice course but the staff are the most unfriendly I have come across both at the front desk and cafe. They are not welcoming at all

Fun course to play but call first to see how busy it is. We only made it through 14 holes in 4.5 hours.
Very flat fairways on many holes so easy to walk and great for seniors with balance concerns.
I enjoyed my round but needed to leave for another commitment.

Some holes were quite challenging without a course map or scorecard. Other holes felt familiar to others throughout the course. Overall, it was a very nice course. We enjoyed playing and would return for another round.

Excellent course to play. good for walking. excellent weather

Great value. Rancho Maria has great views of the Santa Maria Valley.

I loved it...granted it was my first time playing. The staff were two older guys and one was hilarious. The greens were in great condition and the fairways were in good condition. I played twilight so I got 15 holes in starting at 5pm and I paid like $16 or something. It's a very fair course. You hit good shots and you get rewarded. Nothing to complain about. I'll definitely be back.

we felt unwelcome. Three times over a 8week period. "we aren't making any money on you guys." I reminded them 24/7 bookings & national advertising you are getting. Left club house upset. Note can't get a sandwich after 2:30 pm course closed at dark.

The course is in very good shape, the greens are surprisingly fast. fairways are in good shape as well.
The snack shack isn't much to look at, but the ladies working in there are super friendly and the food is normally very tasty. By the time we finished our round (3:00pm) the grill was closed for the day.
