Rancho Park Golf Course

Great course, but maintenance needs work way overwatered...

The course can get slow with many elderly or some terrible golfers, on 2 occasions I’ve had clubs stolen,.. not sure what’s going on here but would love if security stepped up or Good Samaritans return what is not there... everyone makes mistakes but no finders keepers rule.

If you find a club the polite thing to do is return it or put in the back of your

I had a tee time of 1:40 on Sunday. Booked it the day before. weather was 72 degrees and sunny. perfect day, course it reasonable good condition and we played a 4 hour round. that rarely happens at Rancho Park.

always enjoy playing this course.

Played an 8:10 am tee time and finished in under four hours with 2 of the foursome walking. Really nice morning, fast pace of play and the course was well kept. Greens in very good shape, fairways and rough were green with no signs of dead/dry grass. Nice separation between fairways and minimal road noise from the busy surrounding neighborhood. I see why this is one of the hardest morning tee times to get in the LA area.

Good comdition We played fourSome 10am finish at 2pm Now Time to play!

It's in the city. The grass is good - greens, fairways, rough. The layout is really interesting with rolling elevation and really big beautiful trees. Compared to other municipal courses in the L.A. area, this one is really good. We played New Year's day. We were surprised that we were able to get a tee time without an LA city card. Great, relaxing 4.5 hour round. Reasonable price. And we didn't have to drive 2 hours to south OC or Simi Valley.

I play Rancho almost every week. While it's one of the busiest courses in LA County getting a tee time is pretty simple with their online booking engine. If you can plan out a week or so ahead you can easily get a morning time. They just upgraded their carts and how have GPS screens which should help pace of play. Conditioning could be better but for a course that get's this much play I would say they do a great job, especially with the greens. It's a good to excellent layout with the 18th being the "worst" hole on the course. However it's a reachable Par 5 so it's not that bad. They have a great little bar/restaurant and driving range with 3 large putting greens. For $50 in the middle of Century City you can't beat it.

I have lived in the LA-area for nearly five years but was late to discover Rancho Park GC. It quickly became one of my favorite tracks because of its convenience to Santa Monica, classic layout, muni vibes, and historic legacy. I had heard horror stories of long rounds, but never suffered through one myself until playing on Memorial Day. I booked a tee time for 1:45pm and when I checked in, it was suggested by the starter that I wait "to play with some other good guys after 2:00," which turned into teeing off sometime after 2:20. The short version of the LONG story is that the front nine lasted nearly 3 hours, including four groups stacked up waiting to play the 8th hole. I walked off the course after nine, refusing to risk a 6+ hour round and somehow not finishing before darkness on one of the longest days of the year. Rancho Park will somehow remain in my golf rotation by necessity, but the course should be embarassed for how it manages tee time reservations and encourages fivesomes and ignores basic pace of play courtesy.

I was not expecting much more than we got from this course - it was a typical municipal course. The amenities were few, the employees were city employees. The course was in decent shape and was reasonably enjoyable.

Fungus. Patchy. Bumpy. Slow.

They need to fix all the greens.

Occasional punching is no longer enough, apparently. The greens are sad. The City has finally watered the course and have made most of it playable from the fairways. Good grass coverage mostly. But man, the greens.......... so sad. Sad, sad, sad. They have to do something about them. Strip them re-do them, re-build them. It's time. Get a real greenskeeper who cares about the greens and knows what he's doing. The greens are sad.

I grew up playing this course, and no one needs me to explain its history. Suffice to say it's now in complete disrepair. Very sad.

This course has everything except the water hazard. Beautiful layout and challenging holes that go up and down. Play the black tees to enjoy the challenge.

So LA City courses recently re-vamped their pricing to match the rest of the areas, and to try to improve conditions and POP by spreading out the tee times to 8 minute intervals, like most other places. Well, the tee times are nice, but the price-hikes are not, especially seeing that nothing has been done to the course so far. It definitely no longer feels crammed or busy, which is good, but I don't think the prices needed to be increased seeing as gas prices have gone down to levels before they hiked the prices almost 6 to 10 dollars from 5 years ago. And they've done nothing to the course. The greens were cut a little bit today, but the rest of the course looked the same, played the same, with the same hard dirt patches. They had cut some tree limbs away and cleaned up some, but it's very disappointing to see that the course is the same as I last played it. Not worth the money, especially since there are other courses that charge less for better conditions.
