Recently tried the S at Rancho Maria‘s after many years of driving by. Pros include the quality of the track, course in great condition, staff very friendly. Cons include a challenging first hole adjacent to the driving range, (tough to find your ball if you pull it left), no distances on sprinkler heads so bring your rangefinder. Otherwise a very enjoyable and challenging round.

We were enjoying a solid round until we came up on a juniors tournament on the back 9. We were unable to finish our round because the pace of play ground to a halt with holes taking longer than 30 minutes behind the juniors. We had been told that there was a scramble tournament ahead of us but that They had made sure we had enough room between us and the tournament do you have a reasonable pace. I think it’s incumbent on the course to notify players that there could be a problem when the circumstances occur. Very disappointed.

Facilities only ok, (range balls dispensed by machine, and several of the balls were cut). Children's golf camp was on the range, and kids were running around, making a lot of noise and disrupting warm up. Fairways and greens in ok shape, bunkers not so much, (spent too much time in them to boot). Even other foursomes were loud on the course, as if they didn't understand proper etiquette. Unlikely to return.
