Excellent course with challenging design and layout

Played the course 2 days after the rain stopped in San Diego and considering the amount of rain it was in really good condition. Most of the course was 90 degree. Typical RTJ layout with hazards and level changes. Greens were fast and breaking. Plenty of uphill shots into the greens. Staff was very good. Downside was the pace of play which is the only detractors. Will play again

Great course with friendly staff

I play Rancho 8-10 times a year. It’s a great course consistently. Food is good and quick. New GPS carts won’t let you drive on most of the course? That part stinks big time. I hope they fix that right away. Made golfers in our group frustrated. Make sure you ask for non gps cart. Can be slow because slow groups like most courses. I go when it’s too hot for most or afternoon to avoid crowds. Back 9 is beautiful but pace is often a crawl. 2 bathrooms are welcome on long days.

Rude staff

Paid for 18 holes. Started at 1:45. Completely understand that they want the carts back at 4:30 but instead they started taking out the flags before 4! We got through hole 12 but the last 4 holes we had no idea where we were aiming for. When we asked the staff member if he could keep the flags in while we were hitting he yelled at us then drove off and continuedto pluck the flags in front of us.

Best practice facility and a great course

It’s clear that this course is on the mend. Greens were punched a few weeks ago and were fully recovered within two weeks! The greens are mint at the moment.
Most bunkers are in great shape and there are very few spot around the course that are bare.

If you are in the area, this is also the best short game practice facility you’ll find.

Nice course

The fairways and greens were very nice. One thing that stood out was their white sand traps around greens. The sand was fluffy which made easier to play. Most other courses the sand is hard like compressed dirt, which is hard to play. I recommend this course

The golf club at rancho California

Very pleased and surprised by this course it was challenging the entire round up hills , in between water , ravines before holes , some of the greens had steep drop offs . The condition of the course was solid the greens well maintained and the bunkers closest to the club house front and back 9 have that fluffy white sand you see at Pebble however there are bunkers all in-between that are like pavement stay out of those and you'll be fine. Overall had a great time on this course would recommend playing a round here to anyone.
