Sonoma Ranch Golf Course

I didn't start playing golf until covid lockdowns. I have played every course in the city of El Paso, Tx. Sonoma Ranch is by far the best course I have ever played. Every employee was kind, considerate and knowledgeable about their facility. We will continue to come to play here!

I haven't played there in over 5 years and now I know why.

They are super fast and roll nice. Bunkers have no sand

Staff was friendly, Course was amazing, and environment was spectacular

Much better than some recent reviews indicate. New owners putting in a lot of effort to restore conditions.
Tee boxes mostly acceptable, some a little threadbare. Fairways generally playable w/ a few bad spots and sprinkler leaks. Bunkers iffy, but standard for the area. Greens excellent condition.
Take recent negative reviews w/ skepticism. Well worth playing and a bargain at $40.
I question the layout somewhat. Some easier short holes to begin w/ then, particularly on the back nine some real brutes.

An absolute disaster - on the first tee, not on line or in the pro-shop, I learned that the back nine was closed and that the greens were severely sanded - read unplayable!

More sand on recently aereated greens than in the bunkers.

Leaving after 9 holes and stopped by the pro-shop to politely notice my disappointment and the young lady there just shock her shoulders.

The course was unplayable and should have been have been closed.

That neither GolfNow or the course gave me advance notice is a disgrace.

I called TeeOff to ask for my money back but, guess what, theg went home at 5PM EST, just after 3 PM in Las Cruces, NM!

Besides that, the overall course conditions were significantly better a year ago; most rundown municipal courses are in better condition than this place.

Overall very unfortunate, because it is an interesting layout!!

New owners or management is obviously needed!

Having reached mature age and played a lot of golf all over America and the world, this us fr we most ticked off I gave ever been and I have never left any comments if this nature, but this experience deserve it!!!

Surprised charge was still what it was considering course conditions. Disclosed cart path only but fairways were a disaster most holes. Will be awhile before going back.

Unfortunately the previous owners let the course really decline before it was taken by new owners. I realize the condition is not the fault of the present owners and they are working to improve it, but for the time being it is not a good course to play as it was wet and muddy yesterday and cart path only due to seeding, I understand that. On the back nice we had to wait and work around sprinklers that came on, I am sure they had to do this for seeding. It is unfortunate at this time. and hopefully temporary,

Not sure what management is doing, but the course is way too wet and muddy. Charging full price for a round with a course under its current conditions is ridiculous. The sprinklers even came out while we were playing and we had to play around them. Pin placement on the greens is terrible as well. I won't be going back until they fix this course's issues.

Had to switch to Red Hawk which was great -just a little slow.

I was told of the reseeding and wet course when I checked in. If I had been told the night before when I made the reservation, I would not have reserved. We did get about $15 discount because of the reseeding. The course was a mud pit. Many shots stuck immediately. Golf carts were restricted to cart path only. I did not enjoy this round. Rating is for today only, this course is usually a lot better.

This is the worst shape this course has been in the past 7 years. Fairways were patchy and muddy. Tee boxes were mostly bad. The greens were not terrible at least.

Great staff at sanoma. Little bit better coordination of groups and T-times would be great.

Today there was a civic fundraiser here for the city of Las Cruces. The course was in absolutely terrible condition and the Pro was indifferent and clearly had better things to do.. Thankfully, the restaurant and its service was very good. The current green fee for this dog track should be $10 WITH cart.
