Love Rancho

Love this course. Layout is great except for all the dead trees. The greens are nice. The fairways and around the greens and iffy but have gotten a lot better. Hopefully they never increase the rates again or else I won’t be able to go so often.

Hot Deal!

Scored a great last minute Hot Deal on Golf Now! Played with 3 other people I didn't know, but I think we all had fun. The pro shop assigned a man to ride with me in my cart but they let us get another cart after I asked for one. I'm glad I did because the other player smoked cigarettes during the entire round and I'm a non-smoker.
The weather was perfect...I wore short sleeves for most of the round. The greens were pretty quick. The fairways are wide but don't venture off them or you'll have some interesting challenges.

Covid warning

Very disappointed.
Will not be booking with GolfNow at Rancho Maria anymore.
After explaining to the person at the front counter for check-in that I was concerned about having to share a cart with someone I was unfamiliar with because of the risk for Covid and further explaining that I was a cancer survivor and had compromised immune system I was told that because it was booked through GolfNow I would have to share a cart.
I opted to walk the 18 holes with my handcart rather than take a chance..
I guess they think the pandemic is over .
They need to watch the news.

Great Golfnow Rate

I got a great golfnow rate, however, I was not expecting to have to share a golf cart with a stranger, I was told I had to or else pay for another cart if I didn't ride with this other person. I sure hope they didn't have covid.

Good value

For a public course this is a very good value for your money. The course conditions are good, but not great. However, there are definitely other more expensive courses out there that cost more to play.
