Going down hill
This course has been progressively getting worse. Driving range setup is atrocious. Greens are a mess. Golf cart situation is a hot mess. People working there are really nice.

Great place to play unfortunately players do not fix any of the divots on the greens! I mean I could be at each one for an hour and not finish fixing them. People just fix your ball marks!
Rancho Del Rey Golf Club appreciates your business. We hope to guarantee you another positive experience soon!

Full price for bad greens.
Greens were heavily sanded and punched. This was not mentioned on the golf now website when I booked the rounds. We paid full price for a less than advertised experience. Poor job by golf now and the golf course.
An even mix of good and not so good …
Had played here a few times about 15 years ago in charity tournaments when we lived nearby, but didn’t really remember the course. It’s an older track, I'm guessing it was built in the era when the military air base at Castle ruled. There were obviously many regulars playing here, so good for them for supporting their local 18. The course was showing its age though, as we experienced both good and not so good things during our round.
The Good : We got a good price with a cart, using hot deals. Pro shop staff was friendly. A mostly fair (more about this later) design Old-school layout, with mature trees, clear sight lines. Busy, but not crowded, good pace of play. Greens mostly ran true.
Not so good : Cart worked ok, but was older & had a torn drivers seat. Virtually all greens had bare spots & diseased patches. Tee boxes were inconsistent in quality & amount of grass. Fairway grass was also not always consistent in quality and/or amount of grass, also with various bare spots. Some yardage markers seemed questionable - I forgot to charge my yardage gizmo, but know how far I hit my irons, and was off way more than usual (+ & - ) on some holes. Bunker sand was much better on the back nine (actual sand), worse on the front side (more like dirt than sand). Restaurant closed, couldn’t get drinks on what was a normal hot summer day in the valley. Ball washers shut down (some courses have opened them back up, so not a complaint, just an observation.) Two of the first three holes are par 5’s ( with a water hazard right in front of the 1st green) - never seen two par 5’s right off the bat (maybe there’s a reason why !).
One big advantage for the course is they no longer have any nearby competition, since Stevenson Ranch and Forebay went out of business - so unless you want to travel up or down Highway 99, this is your only public choice in the Merced area. I do appreciate they are available and nearby, and most likely won’t wait another 15 years before playing here again, but am ok for now with continuing with jumping in the car on 99 to have a more consistent golfing experience.

Course conditions was good few greens were soaking wet due to over-watering in the morning and unplayable.
Wish the restaurant was open to grab a drink since it’s so HOT….

Good course
Good course, greens weren’t maintained that well. A lot of divots and dead grass on greens. Other than that the layout was nice
