Back up on 10! Photo submitted by CTGRANDIN on 12/31/2012
Wet and untended
The ourselves was beyond wet which made for a wet long muddy round....course was cartpath only...it would have been nice to know prior to arrival conditions were so poor... for the price I would have gone elsewhere. Too wet to play.
Avoid
The course has seen better days. Management is horrendous. I've had better experiences at the DMV. Rude, unhelpful and arrogant staff. Most packed course I have ever seen. Worst pace of play I've ever seen. 4-some after foursome, up to 4 foursomes on each hole. Head pro had the nerve to say that they were only 4 minutes behind schedule. I guess their pace of place is 6+ hours. After playing 71 courses in the past year, this was the first time I have ever walked off the course. Will not return.
Love the course
I’ve only played here once before and didn’t get through all 18 but plan on playing over 5 half hours cause it will take this long weather was great and putting fun
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. The Golf Club at Rancho California thanks you!
almost 5 stars
almost 5 stars in comparison to other courses in area- Having a Marshall helps a lot, above average layout and greens, closed snack bar on a friday at 5:00
Hello, thank you for visiting us at The Golf Club at Rancho California. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Greens were as fast as I've seen them here. Fast n true

Nice RTJ Sr Track
I always enjoy a great RTJ Sr course, this one built around 1971. Lots of recent upgrades. New white sand in many but not all the bunkers - deep and I mean deep but will settle over time. Greens are really nice typical RTJ undulations and trickery. Fairways typical of many muni courses, variety of grasses and many bare or super thin areas. Got there early to hit the range but NO RANGE BALLS and many disappointed golfers. MNGT did not have good reason and did not seam to care.
Hi, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing The Golf Club at Rancho California.
Nice course, range needs work
The range balls were terrible, felt like hitting rocks.
Beautiful setting. Fairways were in ok shape. Sand traps need more rakes available, only 1 rake for each trap, even the huge ones.
Greens were in excellent condition. Course has some challenging holes requiring smart play.
Overall a good value for the money.
Hello, thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at The Golf Club at Rancho California. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Pretty messed up
So I made a tee time for my birthday and the day came and it was very rainy and windy so I decided to just eat the 8 dollar booking fee and get breakfast instead. Cut to 3 days later and the course charged me $140 for not showing up, I don’t think this is technically legalI. I will be disputing this charge with my bank, very disappointed
Trending strong heading into 2024
I've been playing The Golf Club of Rancho California a couple of times a year the last several years as travels bring me to Temecula. Every visit I see small incremental improvements. From my last round in August 2023 to today, they did a ton of work - mainly all of the greenside bunkers receiving a ton of new, white, fluffy sand that was an absolute bear to get out of. Course was in overall great shape.
Another great day of golf at Rancho!
The weather was perfect, I was paired with a great partner and the course is improving all the time! This round was on Christmas Day, so I don't think they cut the greens, but they were very good, just the same. The bunkers that haven't been loaded with perfect white sand are being renovated to get a beach upgrade. Luckily, I got to take relief on the one of two I found all day. I'll be back often...
Slow group in front
But managed very professionally by the Marshall.. good guy for sure and he represents the course well.
Nice tract and friendly staff
Had an enjoyable day of golf, starting at 12:15 as a foursome; but breaking off into twos due to the other guys wanting to practice or give lessons or something. Pace of play was good for the 1st 10 or 11 holes until we caught up with a foursome, who were at the tail end of the "entourage" and then it slowed a little but still managed to get done by 4:15. Course was a little wet and even muddy in a few places but my partner for the day said that it had rained so it was not the fault of the maintenance crew etc. Will definitely play here again and try to bring some friends too.
Don’t Give Them Your Money
The staff is all rude. The Marshall thinks he’s the Lieutenant. The driving range dude is always rude to you.
They want you to pay and to leave immediately. The course is decent and would be my go to but every other course around has staff that actually wants to talk to you so I would rather give other places my money. I though I was jaded but everyone I bring here says the same
