Played today for $78 w/JC "Discount". Greens excellent; fairways decent; outer areas unwatered due to "cost reductions" (recycled water in use). Marshalls are worthless and drive around while you play. These boys couldn't keep pace of play with the wind at their back and their free golf depended on it (they also get paid). Proshop help is the BEST!

Suggest cutting out marshalls who just use fuel to drive around and use the savings to water the course. Beer and drinks are higher than Four Seasons. Good muni track other than what is an "easy" fix for "Easy Ranch"!

Encintas Ranch is a great track in summer for the ocean views and breeze. Forgiving layout ("Easy Ranch") as you really have to work to hit OB. People are great who work there other than the marshalls who drive around w/out a clue. Course is in great shape; however, they claim they're saving water by not watering the rough, practice range and other areas. That's funny, I'm still flushing my toilet and the scorecard claims Encinitas Ranch proudly uses reclaimed water! No, JC Resorts is just plain cheap...

Tournament play on Sunday, May 16th. Course was in great condition; bent grass greens rolled excellent, although they looked much faster. Pace of play was great(other than our slower club members). Food was good if you wanted to wait. Perhaps the Junior League sandwiches took their toll. Cart service on the course made the rounds, so liquids were a plenty. Greens are being punched this week and next, so wait for things to heal up. Out.
