The Golf Club at Rancho California

They course and layout was great. The staff was fantastic. The only downside was the rough had been cut in at least 2 weeks. My playing partners lost a few balls in the rough because it was so long.

Greens were great. Fairways were excellent.

First cut of rough like US Open. About 6”. A lot of lost balls in our foursome that trickled off the fairway. Grass needs cut badly.

Otherwise great day.

6 inches in the rough and golf ball is lost. Par 3 , 1 foot off green and could not find balls. Good layout and nice view. 3 hour pace of play and 45 minutes looking for lost balls.

From the time that I got there to the time that I left horrible. Played a round of golf in 5 hours and 50 minutes. I understand that people hadn't played in a while but the way they did it letting back-to-back to back-to-back to back people T off was not fun T time was that 1 did not get started till 130. Was not organized the starter was confused T times did not match up with golf now. I blame golf now also for A-line as many people as possible to set up T times.

This was one of the first courses to open up close enough to play. Came from San Diego to play this course. It was walking only so the pace was delayed a bit, but overall fun course. I recommend a cart if one is available as this is a fairly Hilly course.

Had a great time, tough round! caught them before they cut the grass so it was very hard to find the ball even if you were a couple feet off the fairway! greens were nice and tee were great!

Great course.. tho I suggest they make a change to the

information they allow Golf Now to post.

Drove in from Newport Beach to meet 2 friends. Tee time states that golf cart is included in cost.

I have a friggin 100 lb pro tour bag.. and with everything off it was a bear... we tried playing 9 holes..

WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE ONE CART PER PERSON LIKE THE RESERVATION STATES!

Other than that.. a fine course.

People weren't out on the course. Probably thought the weather was going to take a turn for the worst.

Nope, had the front nine all to myself. Back nine was backed up a little, so I had lunch. Returned to play back nine clear until #17.

Course was lush, Green's running true with a little speed to them. Fairways for the most part were free from mud puddles, wet spots. Only saw 3 area's that needed to dry out.

Course layout makes this a fun course to play. Most people would play the different the second time around as some holes can present a challenge. The greens are in great shape and all have what would be a great breaks so can present a challenge.

Greens were excellent and true to read. Course played great.

the sand traps need new sand. Over all the course appears to be drying. It needs water. The greens were very fast. The weather was perfect.

A lot of dry patches in the fairways / greens were good and fast / fast play

Had a 11:45 tee time, it was 12:00 or just after before we were able to tee off. we waited on many of the holes to tee off and in the fairway also.

We were a foursome, a twosome that had 2 singles join.

Our twosome quit after 9 holes. There were two groups waiting on the par three 6th and the 10th.

just one of those days when the earlier players don't maintain a good pace and makes the day frustrating for those that follow.

Sad to see Rancho California in such bad shape. The main issue seems to be water. Greens are rock hard, and hard to hold a green even with a great approach, fairways are dried out and very brown.... JUST NEED WATER (and maybe a little fertilizer). Bunkers are hit or miss. Some are fine and some are just rocks and dirt.

Photos are photo shopped. No Marshall. Just Wow!!!!! Shut it down and clean it up. Should be embarrassed to have this course listed. How the heck it got 3.7 Stars is beyond me. Folks I left after 9 holes. It's that bad.

Pace of play was great! Only had one backup at a par 3. Fairways were bare in some spots; greens very fast and sloping. Not as scenic as some courses in the area but we will play it again.
