Came today with a visiting friend. Took us 2.5 hours to get on the course. Later we learned that this course is always busy, and plays 5 some almost every gourp. It is one of the most scenic public courses in the southern Cal. Given the nice ocean view and the price, we didn't really have much to complain. Tip from the guy at proshop: call at 6am 7 days in advance for you tee time.

I played this course few times. It is always crowded even on a weekday. Normally it takes me 1 to 1.5 hours to wait as a single. I noticed that they have women's tournament on every Tuesday, so try to avoid Tuesday if you dont reserve a tee time. Because Rancho is located in west LA, the temperature is generally cooler than other city courses in the east side of the city. If it is not for the long wait list, I would play it a lot more often.
