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.

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.
