Worst Value Golf in Southern CA

Probably the worst value in southern CA. It's not that the course or conditions were that terrible. It's just a really boring, "cookie cutter" OC track for way too much money. I'd be happy to play there for $50, but $145, give me a break!

Green Aerated but Still Full Price

Greens were aerated not too long ago. No warning or notification was given on golf now and still had to pay full price. There are plenty of courses in that area for cheaper and better conditions and layouts.

Bad

Course was kinda cool but not worth the money. It’s fine. Plagued by many of the same issues that all courses in Southern California have to deal with but the etiquette on the course was awful. No one taking the traps. Fresh ball marks all over the greens. The range actually sucks. IF YOU CHARGE PEOPLE 140$+, YOU HAVE TO ENFORCE PACE OF PLAY! We had 2 groups waiting on a par 5 and the people on the green were remitting all of their putts with 2 open holes in front of them. That’s a joke. And we got rushed off the first tee by the starter 7 minutes before our tee time. Also not cool. Won’t give this place another dollar. I should have given it 5 stars so that people come here instead of courses worth playing but honestly if I paid 50$ I would have been like “yeah decent course”

Weird

Showed up to a tee time I booked on golf now and didn’t realize I needed a collard shift. They charged me the greens fee THEN reminded me I needed one. I asked if it was okay to play without one and they said no. They said they could refund me, and proceeded to do so. I asked for a basketball of balls to hit on the range, then they said they couldn’t actually refund me the greens fee the initially said they would. So I said I’ll just go ahead and play and buy a shirt. Then they tried to charge me again after they said they couldn’t honor the refund.

Policy is fine. Execution of the policy is terrible.

HIDDEN GEM DON’T TELL ANYONE!

Hidden gem in Tustin, and I found it on GolfNow and decided to book it based on the reviews. When I first drove up, I thought it was a private country club. The entire layout gave me that vibe course is in great condition, and every green is a table top and super tough if you don’t hit your approach shots in the right spot. Don’t feel like you need to hit Driver on every hole because he don’t. This is a course for golfers that need to hit and play shots and be strategic about managing the golf course. I had a lot of fun and I will be coming back very soon.

Course conditions

I played this course a few years back and was unhappy with course conditions. Today I played for the first time since because I heard there was a new superintendent and wanted to give it another shot. I was beyond pleased. The course conditions were fantastic. I passed the superintendent on the golf course (who was very nice) and told him how amazing the place looked. Him and his crew have done a great job. I will be back to play again thanks to the turn around on the course conditions.

Tustin Ranch

Staff and conditions were very good.

The PACE of play was very, very slow.... 2nd time I have played there, and 2nd time very slow play. The starter pushed several two some's out alone. Marshall told us we were not playing slow but we finished in almost 5 yours... not happy .

Not worth $160+

This course needs attention, and fast. Multiple tee boxes in sand, crabgrass everywhere, painted dead fairways and the greens were more damaged than any course I could remember….no true rolls.

This is a $50 course wrapped in a $175 weekend price, avoid.

Staff super friendly, not a reflection of them.

Slowwwww

This course should not take 6 hours to complete the round! We left after 4 hours after 9 holes. Marshalls we’re useless and non existent.

Expected more for the $

Fairways needed work and the greens had several divots. Course layout was challenging and the green tiers were crazy. Clubhouse, driving range and driving into facilities were nice. Has plenty of potential.

Quality Course!

Had a 420 p.m. twilight tee time. Fun course that me and a couple other people finished just under the cover of darkness! Great, challenging course layout with beautiful landscapes and excellent views on every hole. The greens at Tustin Ranch are amongst the most difficult in all of Orange County. Aside from only a couple greens being spotty, they run quick and cannot remember any green not having less than two tiers to it, so having a quality short game is a must! Although a little pricier than some similar courses, would definitely recommend playing this course if given the opportunity.

Good course but awful players

I love this course and have been playing at least once a week for the past months. I played there with my son and the pace of play was slow but now awful. But the four-some behind us were annoying because they played as if the two-some in front of them were invisible. They hit the balls right away we finished our second or third shots within 20-30 yards distance. I usually play the blue tee but yesterday played the white as the tee boxes got crowded in par 3 halls with 2-3 teams lining up in that area. I just wanted to allow enough waiting room for the players behind us. But they put their balls on a tee while I was preparing my tee shots. The others in the carts showed no decency either as they talked loudly exclusively enjoying their time. At one of those tee boxes I asked for their cooperation only to no avail. Thank you gentlemen for showing my son the worst golf manner not to be learned. The tuituin was expensive green fees and several bad tee shots on my side. Never want to cross this people again, but if I do in the near future, I would let them go first for the peace of my mind.
