The Golf Club at Rancho California

Course condition greatly improved since last played. Greens in great condition. Many new white sand bunkers a nice feature. Was very enjoyable to play.

The course was well maintained and manicured. The staff was friendly and professional .

I have played here a few times. The staff is awesome. The practice area is good with both chipping, putting, and range area. The coarse is decent for the cost. A few bunkers throughout had nice new sand, the others are hard dirt even on green side bunkers. The greens are fairly nice. The only true downside is the pace of play. So far out of 3 rounds during week days I have yet to finish in under 4.75-5 hrs. The last round @9 am on a Friday I had time to sit down and have lunch with 3-4 4somes backed up on number 10 after the turn.. Total round time 5:25 min . All in all the coarse is good for the money as long as you don’t want to play fast! Bring your patience. Lunch was decent while we sat around for 30 min on 10.

I'm delighted to leave a positive review for this gem of a course. It's been a favorite since the 80s and 90s but at some point new owners came in and quality deteriorated. Now they're taking good care of the course and it's back in its old form. The RTJ design is great; every hole offers a different look and a different challenge. Brilliant white sand is being added to the bunkers but right now it's damp and very heavy. They look great but are difficult to play from and harder still to rake. Perhaps they'll get better after they dry out. Pace of play was excellent. Thanks to a couple nice groups who let us play through we finished in 3:20 (11am midweek tee-off). Great practice area. Snack bar is minimal but totally adequate.

I’m delighted to give this course a positive review after a long while of inconsistency. I loved this course back in the 80s and 90s when it was managed by the SCGA. At some point new owners came in, cut the maintenance budget, and it showed. Now it appears the course is being well cared for, and that’s only fitting for the outstanding RTJ design. Pace of play was great at 11am on a Wednesday, just 3:20 because a couple kind groups allowed us to play through. Only complaint would be numerous, deep footprints in the new bunkers. Yeah, the new sand is heavy and difficult to rake, but c’mon people, help take care of this gem!

Conditions were great and pace was good. The layout was fantastic with some great views and cool holes. I thought the course would be harder given the slope rating, but as long as you play smart off the tee boxes it's not too challenging. If I lived closer I would play here all the time.

I've played here a few times over the last 6 months or so and have enjoyed it everytime. The course is in great shape and is very playable. The greens were in near perfect shape free of discoloration or potmarks. They rolled about a 9 or 10 as we started at 7 am with mosture still on the greens. This made it much easier to be agressive without the fear of getting a longer second putt. The fairways and rough were very playable. My only disappointment was the pebbles and rocks in the bunkers but a minor inconvenience to throw them out of the bunkers. The pace of play was 3:45 without pushing from behind or excessive waiting on the group ahead. The starter was very helpful and got me out 30 minutes early even after the pro shop made a big stink about me booking through golfnow and getting a discount:( If you're going to discriminate between full paying customers and smarter ones whom use a golfnow hot deal, then don't offer hot deals. Overall a great birthday round and I will definitely return for another round!

Place is in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in perfect condition.

Trent Jones designed course. One of my favorite courses. Conditions were very good, I am sure the rain this winter has helped. Working on sand traps with nice powder sand. Hopefully they will water this summer and get the greens a little faster.

Not only has the course handled all the extra rain of late, the sand traps are being filled with…SAND!!

The course was in great condition. Fairways and greens were better then average.
