Rancho Carlsbad Golf Club

No no no this course is wack and is nothing more than a pitch and putt longest hole is 140 I believe

Greens we fair and in good shape. Anything off the green should be considered rough. Good work for short game and putting. Fun to hangout with my buddy who is golfing only the past several months . Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Took my daughter for her 1st round of golf, after much range practice. It challenged her, but did not demoralize her. Greens are in decent condition; I.e., hit a good shot and it sticks. Also, putting surface seems to be fairly true.

Much fun.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

My daughter and I will be back!

Brand new golfer, 3rd month in. I have golfed here at least 4 times now and it is a very straight forward pitch n putt course with VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL STAFF... Not too many hazards or trees to lose balls and a few fun, challenging, short tee box shots over rocks/ravines etc. My only complaint is the coordination of groundskeeping. Yikes. No golfer should ever worry about sprinklers wetting them during a shot or while walking through the fairway. This course seems to be always watering the turf. Also, they are constantly cutting grass or picking up leaves and at times you need to wait for the mower to finish circling the green especially if you book an early tee time. These are not huge issues at all but, definitely keeping them at a 4 star vs 5 star rating from me. Will come back always and forever.

I haven’t played yet, y’all shouldn’t be sending me this email my tee time isn’t for another 5 hours

Pace of play very slow - I got stuck behind a group of 6. Even after taking a break and following a group of 2, things were slow. Quite expensive for pitch and putt....driving range was nice though.

No complaints. Will be playing more often. Great greeting/welcome by Dan at counter.

Thanx.

Rancho Carlsbad is a great course for us. Par 3s the whole way but still challenging! The landscape is gorgeous...trees and hills everywhere makes for good shade & lovely views.

The staff is always friendly and accommodating...looking forward to our next visit!

This course is a beginners course. Very short and easy. If you want to take your kids out for some fun, this is the course to do so. If you are expecting to have any sort of challenge, dont go here. Beginners! Beginners! Beginners!

It’s short and cheap. Great for a beginner. 3-4 of the greens are serious domes, but in good shape. Two of the tee boxes have just been redone so you had to tee off from turf mats placed to the side until the sod takes hold. Aside from teeing off of turf though, the course was better than I expected. Much better maintained that other execs I’ve played recently.

It’s a very tight and short little course, which makes it a great learning course. Took my 8 year old to play and it was perfect for him. It’s short enough that your shots never get too errant so you don’t feel like you might hit someone, even though the next tee box may only be 20 or so yards away from the green. We finished in about 3 hours and let two groups play through. But we never felt people breathing down our necks or felt rushed. I will continue to bring my boys here to practice. What a great time!

Don’t get me wrong. This is a fun course and relaxed environment. But don’t come here if you’re a stuffy golfer or someone who needs pure silence on the course - you share it with foot golf (soccer) players as well (the orange flags are their holes) so abandon the idea.

Two bad spots:

1. The greens keepers 100% need to get their upkeep on with the tee boxes. Clumpy, sandy and way too uneven.

2. The greens are (maybe all but a few) like that one ant hill hole (minor exaggeration I promise) at a mini-golf course. So either putt short or slam it in to hole and hit the flagstick for a “COVID-19” acceptable putt because a miss will cost you dearly as you watch your nice “on in one” green shot turn into a bogey as your putt rolls down to the fringe.

So, if you live near by - enjoy. If not, try somewhere nearby else for sure That is until they tidy up the course.

Wonder staff that sets a fun feeling on arrival This is a casual course with all par 3s. Greens are in great shape. Tee box take a beating but they are rotated to provide a chance at a decent area to hit from but definitely could use help. Delicious food truck and good selection of beers. Highly recommend this if you are looking for casual, short golf.

Such a fun course! Defiantly a good place to work on your short game. The course isn’t maintained whatsoever but that doesn’t matter here. It’s a place to kick back, not stress and get some solid putting in. The holes are so short I only used a 9i, wedge and putter for the entire course so don’t come here looking to blast bombs. I will be coming back as the staff is super friendly and everyone I played around was there for a good time.

It’s a great course but to close together. The staff is amazing. It’s a good course for a quick scramble or a beginner

Super short, decent greens, could be a few bucks cheaper
