Best Kept Secret
If your in Murrieta you have to play Golf Club at Rancho California
Good Experience
I played the course 25 years ago when it was administered by the SCGA. The course was pristine. However, I felt the course has deteriorated since then. Not sure what happened. The course is challenging with holes on the up-slopes. Greens were in good shape. Fairways were ok, clumpy in some areas. Trashy around fairways and cart paths. Could be cleaned up. Sand traps were good. I am an 81 year old 13 hdcp.
Best kept secret
Great layout and challenging tees blue and black, if you decide to play from the whites, it is any challenging
Course condition declining
Sad to acknowledge this course is becoming a dry desert which appears to be lack of watering. With upcoming hot summer days fairways may become concrete.
1st 3 Holes Are Fun!
My 2nd time playing this course (first time was in 2022). The course was in great shape and the greens were rolling great! You’ll need to play Hole 1 strategically. Depending on your tee shot, if you don’t land in the fairway bunker on the right, you’ll need to ensure your 2nd shot will not roll into the creek before the elevated green. If you don’t roll into the creek, you’ll have a chip shot to the green for a chance at birdie. Hole 2 is a Par 3 with trouble on the left. Aim for the middle of the green on the right side and you’ll be fine. Hole 3 is an elevated tee box. A hook or a slice tee shot will be trouble or lost. Then you’ll need to hit your 2nd shot towards the left of the green to avoid the lake on the right! If you can get through the 1st three holes minimizing 3 putts or triple bogeys, you’ll break 90! 😃 It’s a well laid out track for all skill levels. The golf staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommended. It was a nice road trip from San Diego.
Rancho Golf Club of CA Tip Top
Great day at the course. Greens were fast and the course was in very good condition. Staff super friendly. Highly recommend this course
Crooks
I play this course all the time. And I accidentally booked the wrong day and came the day before the actually tee time. I come here so often it’s not even funny. They were not able to accommodate me by refunding the 35 dollars that if you don’t cancel, they charge you. Which is ridiculous. The only Course I know that does that. So if you play make sure you book the correct time obviously. Either way they are not really customer friendly. They always look bothered when you go check in for your tee time. Both the starter (old guy with glasses) and the kid that works in the office are insufferable and hear them talk so poorly about guest that play there. Like if no one hears them. Wish they were more helpful to my situation.
Never Again
I will never again iplay at this course. I mean, I had a late round last Saturday and got busy when I was cleaning out the cart and left my rangefinder and the case in the cart turned it into the clubhouse at like 6 PM. The next morning around 1030 I realize I didn’t have it called them and it’s nowhere to be found so somewhere between me dropping it off to them and the time I called it just disappeared. I find that hard to believe I think they employ people that definitely aren’t honest because there’s no way that someone didn’t see my range finder when they cleaned out the cart
Great course and value
This course is challenging at times with the wind but super fun as well. Some of the best greens around.
Classic RTJ design
Great value, well designed course. Course in good condition but clubhouse is older and needs updated. Course is owned by Ricky Fowler and was his home course according to a local. Sand traps could use more sand.
Course in great shape
This unexpected heat in March must have caught your staff off guard. The 5 gallons water jugs on the course were empty during the late afternoon. Hot summer days I would consider that unexceptionable, but it's March, so you all get a pass this time.
Course is looking good, the gps system worked fine, carts are in good shape and the greens were running true. Overall good day of golf.
Awsome
Played this course with a buddy, first time visitors. Stunning views, great pace of play took 4hrs 15min to complete a full round starting at 7:15am as a 3 man slot group. Greens were fast & trick made it challenging, large fairways to keep you excited about play.
