Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

Got to the course and the first interaction with staff in the pro shop was great, then we met the starter and he looked at us like we had 7 heads when we asked which of the 3 courses we were playing, even though the “course rotation board” was blank. After that, the back tee boxes were either listed on the scorecard and not mowed, or just didn’t exist at all. Fairways were 50/50 on if they were alive or not and the greens were the same. I didn’t see a single bunker on the course that was raked within the last week. And the pace of play was 4:45 with no ranger checking on the course. After they funnel you off in 4 minute tee times.

We played with two people who live on the course in one of the condos and they even stated that all the owner cares about is making the course longer to draw in better players, he has no drive to actually make any of the course playability any better. Definitely not heading back to this course any time soon.

From the good side of things though, the pro shop staff was awesome and the apparel inside was very nice and fairly priced. And the overall layout and design of this golf course could be beautiful if there were any money put into the maintenance of the course itself.

Tight course. Very narrow in some places. People’s property is in danger of getting hit on a lot of holes. We were partnered up with another couple and that helped where to hit to because its not all that clear from the tee. Had a really good day and would consider playing there again

Pace of play was quite slow, no beverage cart. One of the nines on this site was being being over-seeded, so we had a busy day. I've played here before and it was fine, but right now, I can't recommend it except in a pinch

This is an addendum to my previous review of Rancho Las Palmas. My previous statements apply, except for the professionalism of the staff. Courteous, yes. Professional, no. We played on Saturday, and returned home from vacation on Sunday. That’s when I discovered that I had left my Bushnell range finder in the cart. I called the pro shop explaining the situation and was told no range finders have been turned in. My range finder was magnetized and attached to the metal post of the cart. I guess it was just too tempting for someone to do the honest thing and turn it in. They have a record of who was assigned each cart for every round so they could have found out who it belonged to. Even if they didn’t want to go the extra mile, the honest thing would have been to turn it in.

Very enjoyable experience. We have played here before, and for the price, it is well worth it. All staff that we encountered were friendly and professional. The courses was in very good condition. End of October, so the weather was perfect. Not a super long course, even from the back tees, wide fairways, and good bunkers. All in all, very good experience and would recommend.

We had another fun round here and were paired with a local couple. Course was in good shape given that it is about to be shut down for overseeding. Had a wonderful time chatting with the other couple as we played. Pace of play was excellent and we finished in three (3) hours!

Course could use a marshal - one group had 2 empty holes in front of them. Other than slow play, enjoy the course.
