The Golf Club at Rancho California

We had a great time playing the course and really enjoyed the challenge of the course along with the fast greens.

Haven’t played here in years. Course in good condition but was super slow. Not worth the money paid to only be able to finish 13 holes

Good value, course in better shape compared to recent years

5&1/2 hour round and no Marshals in sight. Pace of play is a real problem here with bro dudes drinking and hacking from the tips. The turn slows down the back and we had 2 groups in front of us and guys still on the green. Water stations were low and had old coolers with broken parts making it difficult to fill bottles on a 91 degree day. No drink cart. The course is in good condition and the staff are great. Book early, first or second and take your own water or stock up at the start and it’s great.

I find it crazy that there is no cart girls at this course. A round of golf takes 4-5 hours and to do that with no food or drink is not ideal. And then the course has the nerve to have signs all over that say “no outside food or drinks. That’s ridiculous, if I ever play this course again I’ll be bringing my own food and beers for sure. This is an issue that would make me not want to play this course in the future.

Overall this is a fun course to play and the staff has been very friendly. However lately it’s not as much fun due to some silly course rules.. The course was pretty dry yet they had most of the fairways roped off forcing us to cart path only. I understand if it was actively raining but this is becoming a weekly occurrence for one reason or another. I find this practice to be a bit ridiculous.

We tried to check in and the staff had screwed that up. It was a bunch of grumpy guys. Not friendly. We teed off @12:25, at the 2nd hole . A random single was told to join us? Without warning or permission!!! It really slowed us down!! Then they kick you off the course at 4:30 pm!! They pick up the flags! Its ridiculous! A Customer Service stoked about this I mean we were on 17 we had to play with the five and because they pulled a flag we couldn’t finish the part was an old guy who was totally rude to us but never go back here

My parents and I were excited for this round since we hadn’t played the course and the reviews were pretty good. That’s why I’m writing a review. We were disappointed.

Positives: The front nine layout was great. The greens were good. Fairways and tee boxes were decent. Staff was friendly enough.

Negatives: Traffic to AND from the course (from central OC) was atrocious. Plan an extra hour from what you’d expect. No cart girl on a Saturday. The back 9 layout is significantly less interesting than the front 9. Very limited food options at the turn. For the price, this was an underwhelming course. I would only play here again for basically half the price we paid.
