I Recommend This Course
Needs some TLC
This course has the look and feel of a once beautiful project that has been let go for some time. It could use some TLC. Simple stuff like freshening up tee boxes, trimming hedges and grass, so basically freshen up the landscaping and it would be a polished diamond.

the old SCGA course
It has been a long while since I last played this course and I admit I didn't remember most of the hole layouts but the course was challenging enough for my crew. I'd play it again.

Great value
Drove out from Orange Country to try and play some
new courses. Really pleased at the course design, condition and the price was a great deal. I’d play here again and have recommended it to some other friends that golf too.

Great value and course layout
This was our first time playing The golf club of RC and the drive from the OC was well worth it. Rate for a cart and the course was a great value. Course has some really nice holes and when the wind blows it presents a real challenge. In light of the high prices in Orange Country I’m sure we’ll drive out again to play at the GC of RC

Quick round
Our threesome finished in three and a half hours. A few of the greens and fairways have suffered from the winter cold and rain. Overall, the course is in good shape.

Corona Fail
The Golf Club of Rancho California demanded a $10 fee in order to use a golf cart by myself because I booked the round with Golf Now.. Should I be okay with sharing the cart with a stranger, they would waive the fee The carts, of course, have no 6 foot social distancing area. Is this even legal? I was lucky enough that no other players arrived so I was able to use a cart with no fee.
Before booking here, I suggest you call and make sure you will not have to share a cart with a stranger.
