Greens really need some love

Disappointed in the condition of the greens.patches of dark spots they hadn't been rolled in some time it seemed.Course lay out was good but patchy fairways. Glad we played a hot deal.

The sand lot

Please fill the bunkers with real sand not gravel. This would be a major improvement to the course. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Keep up the good work.

Great Public Course and Reasonable!

Rancho Maria has been a local family owned course since as long as I remember. As everything has gotten more expensive, they have kept green fees so that myself and my family can afford to play there regularly. Fairways and greens are kept in great shape which isn’t easy with water being the issue that it is. No two fairways are next to each other and the hillside views are amazing! A very quiet and peaceful place! Pace of play can be slow due to groups of five being in front of you but it’s rare not to have the offer to play through. Nice putting green and a large sand bunker in the practice area. Food is terrific and staff top notch. Most appreciated is how they treat beginners and especially how they promote the game with kids, students, and especially girls. Lots of women’s groups who are welcoming toward younger players making them feel safe and have very positive experiences. My own daughter is now 19 and plays there several times a week. She loves it!

Rancho Maria

I've always liked this course. But it seems like they need to mow a little more around the trees and even do a little raking or something to pick app the extra grass.

Rancho Maria is a must play

Like the caption. I highly recommend Rancho Maria. Just passing thru opportunity or a regular master on this course. The cut is rough but will make you stronger and a wiser player for this course.

Good course for the price

I'm not a fan of hitting uphill to where you can't track your ball would be my only layout gripe. There is mostly crabgrass in the fairways which kinda sucks, the cart paths are brutal, the carts have no roofs for some reason? Other than that solid price, nice greens, some sandy bunkers, some dirt bunkers.
