What a cool track, really liked the layout

first time playing this amazing track. The different hole layout was very cool..

The green were rolling around 11 and very true.. man they were nice.. a couple had some spots but for the most part 99.9% in good shape.

As first time players we were giving a course book which was nice,, it helped as this was a new course to me. The yearage lines on the cart paths could use a refresh but the nice big 150 yrs markers helped a LOT..

being from NC playing in the nice dry day was wonderful.. thanks for a good time.. :)

No carts available due to tournament so all reservations were delayed but started and staff were handling as best possible. Had I known there was a Saturday tournament would not have booked.

Mostly great greens, new white sand in most green-side bunkers. Slow pace of play on a Sunday.

Horrible Course Management! Avoid at all costs

I played at this course this past Saturday, and what a train wreck of an experience! I was a single going out at 11:45, got their an hour early to hit balls and warm up. I check in with the starter for my tee time and he tells me that I am paired up with a single where I was supposed to go out with a three some before and we didn't tee off until 11:55 am. He told me they were sent out 45 min early and no one told me. Plus the fact that we were only a twosome going to be behind all these foursomes and threesomes. Pace of play was horrible, and the staff handled the situation poorly! I talk to the course management about this issue, and they tell me that they can’t give a raincheck or anything. That tells me that they don’t care about the golfers experience, so avoid this place at all costs! One of the worst managed courses in California!

Good course

I was in LA for business and stayed through the weekend to visit my son. I kind of got a late start on getting a tee time for a Saturday. I knew it was going to be pure luck if I could get a reasonable time nearby. Luckily, I found a 9 AM tee time at this course . Read some of the GN reviews so I decided to jump on it. It was a 90 minute drive but for $65 for Trent Robert Jones sr course on the weekend, what the heck.

It is a fun, challenging track. Up and down hills cut thru a housing community. The fairways and landscaping need some love but you can tell that this course was really nice once. I played with some locals who said they the course had gone through multiple owners in

the last 5 years or so.

The greens were in great shape probably rolling above average speed. Got to drive the ball well as some holes require a precise tee shot.

I was really happy with the course. I would definitely play it again. Hopefully that next time, the course is up to its full potential.

White sand traps

Play moved right along. Our foursome finished close to four hours. Good pace.

Course maintenance in progress while we were playing. Putting pro sand in all the bunkers. Project is still on going and is amazing.

Golf Club at Rancho California

It has been over 10 years since I last played this course, way back when it was the SCGA Member Course. I remember this course being in much better condition. The fairways were lacking in continuous, even grass from tee to the greens. The greens were okay having good speed, but damaged areas on some. Some of the bunkers had newly replaced sand, which looked nice, but the water features on 1, 13 and 15 needed help. All of the staff were fantastic but the course and clubhouse could use some love. I probably won’t return unless I hear fantastic things about the place.
