Great course layout

I love this layout , tough but fair. Course was still recovering from all the rain, so some pretty muddy saturated spots. They are redoing a lot of their traps, adding drainage and sand, should be good when complete. Good to see them putting the effort in, too many courses have dismal sand traps, (no sand), collected water.

Excellent course with challenging design and layout

Played the course 2 days after the rain stopped in San Diego and considering the amount of rain it was in really good condition. Most of the course was 90 degree. Typical RTJ layout with hazards and level changes. Greens were fast and breaking. Plenty of uphill shots into the greens. Staff was very good. Downside was the pace of play which is the only detractors. Will play again

Great course with friendly staff

I play Rancho 8-10 times a year. It’s a great course consistently. Food is good and quick. New GPS carts won’t let you drive on most of the course? That part stinks big time. I hope they fix that right away. Made golfers in our group frustrated. Make sure you ask for non gps cart. Can be slow because slow groups like most courses. I go when it’s too hot for most or afternoon to avoid crowds. Back 9 is beautiful but pace is often a crawl. 2 bathrooms are welcome on long days.

Beautiful and Fun

This course has some challenging holes, but not as hard as dos Logos for example and as a few holes to bring your steam back and get par or birdie. This course has gentle but varied terrain, and a good amount of variation. One of those beautiful driving range views I’ve seen.
