Great Value and in good shape

I've always enjoyed playing here and today was better than ever. The greens were smooth and fast if downhill. The fairways were pretty good for the most part for this time of year when the grass typically goes dormant. The rough was only 1-2" high and thus very playable. All of the bunkers are now completed and the white sand really helps frame the holes. The pro shop staff typically is a little spicy especially if you want to do anything out of the norm but today the starter was in the pro shop and made for a great experience. We teed off at 12:45 and we're in danger of not finishing, so we skipped 15 and 16 and finished on 17 and 18. There were slower foursomes holding up the entire course. It would've been nice to have a marshal nudging them along to make for a better experience for all. I snagged a hot deal on golfnow for about $25, so it's tough to complain!

Consistently Good

Come back to Golf Club at Rancho California on my trips to the Temecula area and it never disappoints. Conditions consistently good, great value and the greens bunker renovation project is finished - only gripe is the sand depth is inconsistent. For as much play the course gets, it's in great shape. A bit slow on the front as had a 4-some that were spraying it all over the place and seemed out for more of a good time than actual golf,, but jumped them at the turn and the back 9 sailed. Course could use some marshalling as it does attract a wide range of golfers and abilities which can cause some slow ups, especially on the first 3 holes.

Nice Course

The course is in fair to good condition. They were doing some maintenance when I was there so they are trying to keep the place up. It’s a fun track with a challenging but fair layout.

Great day!!

The course was in good shape. It played long due to the cold weather if that makes sense but it was overall a good experience. The bunkers were the best I've played in a while unfortunately, i was in a few! LOL!! but I still had a great day to say the least. Greens were receptive but fast, fairways were decent. This is a solid course to play and totally worth the value!

will not return

Had an 8:35 tee time & it took 3 hours to get through 9 holes. We had to wait 5-10 minutes on every tee box and fairway. There was no marshall in sight maintaining the pace of play. Our group decided to leave at the turn and they were unwilling to do anything for us and completely unapologetic. There was “no club manager” or any information on when they would be there. The young girl working the pro shop on 11/3/24 was extremely rude and unprofessional, even at check in. Will NOT be returning
