The course was in very good shape considering the amount of recent rain we've had. The greens were excellent. Great day on the course.

Greens were good but the rest of the course was awful.
I would never go back.

Rancho never fails

I consider it a local gem.
I feel like you get a bank for your buck, can the staff be a bit nicer? sure thing! More like the ladies taking care of the snack shop.
Was really busy, but it was to be expected, and even then wasn't too bad.

Heads Up

It would’ve been nice to know ahead of time, that no carts were available due to weather conditions. And not find out at time of check in

Not getting better

Most players complain (meincluded) about the tee boxes. Some of them it is hard to find a flat area to hit from. Seems like a pretty simple fix that would make a big difference.
