The layout of the Mountain Ranch demands shotmaking on every hole. I have only seen that requirement in courses that I have played in Europe ( Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, and of course the UK ).

Plan your shots, and you will be rewarded.

Outstanding greens, and course layout. Several holes were cart path only and that contributed to pace of play. That should improve with warmer and dryer weather.

From the first tee to the last green you are being challenged to execute playmaking shots of various types. The fairways are short at the moment but should improve in the near future. Greens are fast, and need springtime growth to fill out.

Highly recommend the course.

It is a nice course with greens that roll very smooth. Two players jumped ahead of our 4-some because of slow play of the group in front of us. The marshal permitted this despite our protest, and the 4-some behind. Because of the two players aggressive push on the 3 senior players ahead of us, the senior players left the course! They were playing at a reasonable speed.
