Enjoyable course

The Otero nine was not in good shape - fairways were quite bare and greens seemed to be crowned around the holes (balls were heading straight into the hole and would turn right at the hole). The Ranchero nine was in good shape. Enjoyed the references to the Tin Cup. The carts were not allowed on the fairways on a few holes so required quite a bit of walking back and forth across the fairways. Otherwise, the pace of play and the weather conditions were all good. We would play this course again and recommend it to others.

good overall

Ortero course was not in good condition - very sparse fairways. We had so many putts that jut rimmed or turned at the hole that there must be an issue with leveling the area around the hole. Rancero was in good condition. It was unfortunate that there were several holes you could not take the carts on. The pro shop staff was excellent - very welcoming and friendly, Would return to this course & recommend it to friends.

Poorest first 9 I’ve experienced since October

I was very disappointed to find that all of the fairways on the first nine I played were dried out straw coloured and were impossible to judge distances on. I chose this course because I understood it to be one of the more select ones but, having played 5 other less prestigious courses in the area, I found them all to be in better condition and were much less expensive. I will not be playing this course again until I hear reports that it has recovered.

Loved the course, but...

Great course, great views, terrific staff.

BUT...players unfamiliar with the course NEED a picture of each hole layout-- which way does the dogleg go?,,,where are the penalty areas?... to avoid "blind" shots.

On a certain par-5, my playing partner was SURE the fairway went left, while I thought it went right. He ended up a mile away and, while I was correct, my ball ended up under the lip of a bunker that I could not have guessed was there.

Rancho was nice - Anza was poor

We enjoyed playing Rancho. The fairways and greens were in great condition.

Anza was in poor condition. Would not go back to play Anza.

Slow pace of play , 2 slow 2somes & a group of 5 ( didn’t think 5 was allowed ? ) ahead of us . Ranger didn’t seem to be able to resolve it , maybe intimidated by the 5 men , but could have had the 2 somes join up or move along quicker . Painful pace of play , finished in the dark. !
