Greens are healing nicely...
After aeration of the greens in the last week of May, the greens are healing nicely. More bunkers have been filled with beautiful white sand. Try to steer clear of the manager, he's a jerk!

It's getting better all the time!
Rancho California is the best course under $75 in a 50 mile radius. I've played every public course in San Diego and Riverside County, the improvements here over the last year are simply outstanding! But SHSSS!, don't tell anyone!

Great Course
We had a 11am tee time and there was a morning tournament that was playing slow. So the Marshall put us in between teams in the tournament. Which was good. First nine was slow but manageable, second nine was great. Staff was nice and we really enjoyed the course.

Fairways and Greens
We have golfed here for years and course management has invested in new sand for the sand traps, fairways and greens are in great shape. The course is in great shape!

Rude Staff
The Marshall was working the front and treated us like we’re dumb. I don’t understand why the staff is always rude. They seem to enjoy yelling at people for getting a beer at the turn.
Their driving range closes randomly so good luck planning to practice.
