Rancho Park Golf Course

We need club house.

Specially Restaurant and Bar.

I can’t rate it low enough, especially having played the place for 40 years. It’s in the worst state/condition/situation I’ve ever seen it.

No clubhouse. They’ve stripped it and have been working on it for a few years now. It looks like they’ve made no progress since last year, when I played it last time.

So no clubhouse, therefore no restaurant. No food or drinks at the start. They had a food truck last year, but it’s gone. What happened? I dunno.

At least they closed up the alcohol bar next to the putting green that was totally obnoxious anyway.

Range is the same. Machine gets stuck sometimes trying to read the QR code and it did it again. The balls are junk as usual, and some of the mats need to be replaced.

I dunno why we up with this mess.

The course - oh my gawd what a travesty. The front 9 is totally dead. It’s basically mostly GUR. You heard about the Victoria course in Carson, well, this is one step away from it. They have not watered it. Some of the holes are verging on being bare, such as 5 and 7. It’s crazy.

The greens are slow and jumpy as usual. Just absolutely terrible.

Some of the tee boxes had no grass at all!

The snack shack at 12 was closed too. And there is no snack cart! So I had nothing to drink or eat.

One upside is that the bunkers are all somewhat raked and do not have any grass growing in them. Weird.

To charge customers $4 more than Griffith Park or Sepulveda courses - where’s the money going???

It’s completely unconscionable what they’ve done to the place.

So typically LA City. So sad.

No clubhouse. They’ve been “working” it for the last 5 years now since they closed it. Looks like there has been no progress.

At least they shut down the outside “drinks bar” they put next to the green next to the range a few years ago. That thing was obnoxious and in the wrong place, people were getting smashed while they also tried to give golf lessons to kids next to it!! Some sense prevailed there at least.

So no clubhouse and they also removed the food truck. So there was no place to buy snacks or drinks. No snack cart. The snack shack at 12 was closed!!!

The range is as sad as ever. Trashed balls not washed and the range machine was acting up as usual.

The course…… they quit watering it. The front 9 is on the verge of being dead. They’ve done nothing to fix it. Practically the entire course can be played as GIR. You might as well.

The greens are slow and bumpy, impossible to putt as the ball would hop all over the place.

Funny enough, I complain about the bunkers not being taken care of at all of the LA City courses and here for some reason they are all somewhat raked away to the point that there’s no grass in them, at least!!!

So yeah no snack shack, no snack cart, no restaurant to get any food or drinks.

Ladies and Gents, all you good paying customers -

You have to realise they charge an extra $4 more for this place than at Griffith or Sepulveda. Why????? Where has the money gone????? What are we playing the extra for???

What have they done to the place???? People need to be fired, and those at the Parks and Rec need to be examined and thoroughly investigated.

This is the absolute worst that I’ve seen the place in 40 years. It cannot get any lower than this.

Something needs to be done. I cannot believe the Rancho Men’s and Women’s golf club people can put up with this. It’s unconscionable .

I did not notice any improvement on this course since I last played here about 15 years ago. If anything, the conditions of the fairways, bunkers and rough were worse. Most of that is pretty much par for the course (excuse the pun) for LA-area golf courses. But the most annoying (and somewhat unique) characteristic of this particular course is the way the carts paths are designed in such a way that all carts must follow each other in single file. You cannot pass other carts because there are sidewalls on both sides of the cart path. This is utterly stupid in my opinion. particularly when there is a mix of players who play different tees. If a forward tee player gets stuck behind carts that play the back tees, they have to wait for them to get into their carts and move forward before they can get close to their tees. This is highly inefficient and very annoying.

It’s hard to make reservations but Nice to play! Love this course 💕

Not bad for busiest course in the country albeit a holiday

What is going on with their roof/ buildings around the course? I’ve heard so much about this course and was shocked to hear they haven’t fixed their roof / on course structures in over 3 years. Completely unacceptable and such an eye sore. For a course that everyone says is impossible to get a tee time, I was totally dumbfounded to see the condition of the buildings. They have the money… repair your roof!!! Greens were good which is important but took 5 hours to finish a round… smh

Great course if you can get a teatime. Fairway divots or touch of an issue aside from that conditions were great pace. Play for twilight was amazing. Finished 15 holes in three hours.

No mention of punched greens from GolfNow. Very disappointed. Course is in decent condition but the greens need at least 3-4 weeks.

Got a hot tee time but wouldn’t have played if I knew it was all sand green.
