Back up on 10! Photo submitted by CTGRANDIN on 12/31/2012
Greens healing nicely!
This time of year, all of the golf course are being aerated, it's a necessity. Rancho California punched on 10/25-26, they are almost playable again. I didn't expect them to be this good, so soon, but I'm glad the greens will be 100% sooner than later. I noticed that they filled a few more bunkers with pretty white sand, I just wish their were more golfers that cleaned up after themselves and raked them. Ball marks too!
Challenging but Fun Course
This course remains one of my favorites. I enjoy trying to overcome any challenges or obstacles that may have befallen me during a prior round.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Golf Club at Rancho California.
Course held up to lazy Sunday players.
Rancho California was in very good condition on the day before aeration on the 25th. My only complaint was the big globs of cut rough that caused me two lost balls. I played by myself at my own pace on an idyllic Sunday afternoon, I'll be back in three weeks, for sure!
Thank you for visiting us at The Golf Club at Rancho California. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
I’ll be back
Pace of play was perfect, greens and fairways, bunkers were excellent, layout was fantastic and challenging. Staff helpful and friendly. Drove an hour to get there and wasn’t disappointed. So many public and semi public courses should care as much here in SoCal before charging/ gouging for their rates for conditions not even half as good as Rancho California. This golf club is a good blueprint on how to value and care for patrons. Thank you all at Rancho!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing The Golf Club at Rancho California.
Best conditions of 4 weeks in a row, Aeration Alert: Week of 9/25
The greens were in the best condition of the 4 weeks in a row that I've played here recently. I played at 7:35 each day and the greens were soggy until today's round, when they were nice and firm. The rest of the course was in good shape also, except for half of the bunkers being dirt clay without any sand. I played the White tee boxes, with many of them needing to be leveled and resodded. I Everything else in the course is better than good. At this price point, a great golf course!

Greatly Improved
Played the course four years ago, it was in terrible condition. The greens were a little spongy, the rest of the course is in excellent condition.

Consistent, very good conditions.
This round was my third round in 3 weeks. I've been playing golf for 59 years, I've been working in the industry for 40. The first time I played Rancho California was in 1990, the course was good enough for me to drive here several times from Costa Mesa. I played Rancho around 2008 and things were far different with much worse course conditions (I dented my 7 iron in the middle of the 13th fairway). So it has been over a decade since I tried Rancho, what a pleasant surprise! I have a couple suggestions, bulldoze every tee that isn't level and instead of only putting expensive white sand in less than half of the course, fill all the bunkers with a less expensive sand that is heavier, so it doesn't blue away... I'm playing again next Wednesday!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Golf Club at Rancho California, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Starting to slip but still a good track
Can't complain about the current green fees...pretty fair. Need improvement on starting the groups and keeping the groups spaced out. Some dead spots on certain fairways need attention. PEOPLE...fix your divots on the green. Other than a few minor things, this is still a great track to play...please don't let things slip any further.

Maintenance
Course is in good shape. New sand In green side bunkers on front nine. Now back nine needs it

A good test with very good conditions
Rancho California is a demanding golf course. It has lots of elevation, water hazards and once they fill all the bunkers with the white sand that's in about 30% of them around the course, it'll be fairer. PLEASE FIX YOUR BALL MARK'S! The greens are lush, so everybody needs to repair then...

First time playing this course...
1st time any of us had played this course.
Senior foursome out celebrating a birthday.
Had a good round.
Course was in good shape.
Especially liked that there was white fluffy sand in the greenside bunkers!!!
Only negative comment... at 19th hole apparently the cook had quit and there was no one to prepare our food order.
So, we had a couple of cold ones and left.
Overall, a good day.
I would play this course again
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at The Golf Club at Rancho California. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent value
Had not played this course for a few years, enjoyed the re-visit. Greens were in excellent condition, some of the rough was punitive, fairways were very good. Overall a nice outing.

Course condition.
Great place to play. excellent layout. Moderate difficulty. Great pacer of play. .
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about our layout. Additionally, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the pace of play. We hope to see you again soon!
Soft greens, fast play
Certain patches of fairway were pretty sparse but not enough to really affect play. Greens stuck pretty well. Last played when it was SCGA more than 15 years ago and I remember then that the greens were hard af. Hardly anyone playing after 1pm. My foursome finished in just under 4 hours. Only complaint was a slow twosome in front of us. Nothing that a few early drives didn't take care of.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback. We hope you enjoyed your round with us and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Bunker Rennovations
Lots of the bunkers are being renovated with fresh sand and all which is great. Others while maintained are not nearly as playable and basically just groomed dirt.
Course was in generally good repair.
Course does see a wide range of playing abilities so keep that in mind as it might slow down your round a bit depending on who's in front of you. For instance, I'm pretty sure the group on 10 picked up my wayward ball from #9 tee when I played, even though they disavowed any of it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you again for playing The Golf Club at Rancho California!
