Rancho California

A generally well run course that could use some small enhancements to make it -really- nice.

The course itself was in really good shape. No dead spots, good bunkers, good looking tee boxes, etc.

Some amenities were lacking such as ball washers with water. No water coolers on the course. Many bunkers on the back 9 were missing rakes for some reason. On course bathrooms could use some maintenance as they're a bit run-down. Small details...but details make the experience.

Definitely a good value in the Temecula area.

Course Has Seen Better Days

It's tough to blame the course for its condition given how little water SoCal has, but this course used to be fantastic. It still has one of the better practice facilities in the valley, but the course itself has gone from being a borderline 5 star experience to a soft 3.

I like it!

Can walk or ride, but if you walk, you will get a A A moderate workout.

Lots of variety; not a cookie-cutter deal.

Stiff from the tips, and you'll need to know where to aim from back there. Perspective from the whites should be straight forward.

Greens were very nice; with moderate undulations If you can putt, you'll have a chance to make quite a few.

Overall, a pleasant experience

Counter help was courteous.

Lots of hills, but no label of 'billygoat applies!

A foursome. We finished in 4:05.

I'll certainly play here again.

Overall recommendation "A"

Both nines are good. We found the back nine to be a bit more challenging.

Weather was excellent; it's SoCal, you know!

Played with a twosome we didn't know, but by the time we were done, we were 'old' friends.

Give and Take

The course fairways were fantastic. The greens were fast, which is nice for my taste. However, it was an incredibly tough read. The gentlemen working the pro shop was great. It was said that we had to return the carts by 4:30. Around 4:15, the Marshall told us we had to immediately return, and only said that to my group. After we told him that we could finish the hole in less than 10 minutes, and he rolled his eyes at us and mumbled something under his breath.

If you’re going to play here, make sure to get an early tee time. We could only finish 16 holes in 4 hours.
