Getting Better?

It's great to see this course finally making some investments to improve course conditions. The new bunkers look and play very nicely. The course is as green and lush as I've seen it in many years, but that's not saying all that much and I fear it's only due to the heavy rainfall this year. Let's hope they are able to maintain something close to these conditions year-round because this course goes through way too many ups and downs on the conditions front. This unpredictability is what drives me and many I know to usually look for times at other local courses first before settling on Rancho and hoping for the best. I just want the place to return to yesteryear when it was the SCGA course and a hot spot to play.

My biggest gripe about Rancho are the driving range balls. They are absolutely TERRIBLE!!! I mean, come on guys! More than half the basket is always filled with balls that have zero dimples, are cut, or otherwise old as can be. At the prices you charge for range balls, the customer should be able to see more than half the balls travel properly through the air rather than nose-diving on perfectly fine strikes. Time for new range balls, fellas! This is another much-needed area of improvement, fellas! You'll recoup your investment in new range balls in no time and it'll go a long way toward restoring your course as one of the go-to spots in the Valley!

Needs Some TLC !

First time playing this course.

Proshop and snack area were pretty basic and food was ok.

The course itself, the layout had both strong and weak holes. The greens were in very good shape. Nice to see the NEW sand being added to all the traps.

The rest of the course needs some help. Overseeing, new sod and some flower beds would be a good start to make this course look more attractive.

Not a bad course to play, a little TLC would make this course even better 😉

Great condition

The fairways and greens are in great shape. Nice full white sand bunkers also. The pin placements on the front 9 today though seemed to have been left in spots that were meant for a tournament. Everything was on a slope

Great course

Teed off at 7:15 and course was in great shape after recent rains. Finished by 10 am as a single and 2nd group on the course. Greens rolled really nicely and were pretty fast downhill. Bunkers were nice and pretty fluffy sand. Fairways and rough were good. Staff in shop was very accomodating and got me out 20 minutes early.
