played here first time 5/23/05. Greens were almost perfect. Fairways were decent but rough is out of control. Miss the fairway by a yard and you just have to hack it out. Course a little muddy in spots but overall a great value for $25. Finished in 4 hours.

course favors fade or controlled slice. Not too much trouble overall. Keep ball in play for low scores. Some trouble in trees with bare spots but still salvageable for pars or bogeys. Rough growin... Continue »

course favors fade or controlled slice. Not too much trouble overall. Keep ball in play for low scores. Some trouble in trees with bare spots but still salvageable for pars or bogeys. Rough growing thicker and fairways in as good as shape this time of year. Greens still growing from airation few weeks back but not as bumpy as before. Back 9 was smooth.

A fun and challenging course. After the first two holes that are carbon copies of each other (1st downhill the 2nd uphill) the fun begins.

A great course to challange your long game. Several long Par 4 holes. And the grass around the greens doesn't always allow the ball to run onto the green. Lot's of elevation changes and after holes... Continue »

A great course to challange your long game. Several long Par 4 holes. And the grass around the greens doesn't always allow the ball to run onto the green. Lot's of elevation changes and after holes 1 & 2 some very interesting shots await.

Played Rancho Park on Sunday Feb 23. This was after the never ending rain from the weeks before. I was suprised the course was dry as it was but nice course for what it went through with the rains. But this was the longest 18 holes of my life. Ever stereo type for koreans are true. I can attest because I am Korean. I had a group of koreans in front of my group and behind. The group behind us hitting into us because we were slow the group in front were putting for 15-20 mins. The worst ever. I am suprise I broke a 100 with the slow play. besides the horrible delay(s) the course was in great condition. Had lost of wind but it made the course fun. No casual water in site and greens were rolling a lot better than normal. Ruff was quite deep but very lush. I would say it it weren't for my "fellow" Asians this round would have been better. Can you believe it, a SIX hour round! Tee time was 12:12pm got off the green on the 18th at exactly 6:13pm. Crazy.

I recently did a critique of Skylinks Golf Course. I was wrong. I now think Skylinks is a slightly better course than Rec. Park. The greens at Rec. Park are very nice, but they don't have the character like the ones at Skylinks. I like the rolling terrain and the setting for golf at Rec. Park. The fairways are chopped up a bit but I'm sure they will get better once the rain stops and the spring season arrives. An easy course like this should never take more than 4.5 hours! but........oh well

the greens were the best i have seen...fast like palm springs, the wait was unbearable....3 hours for 9 holes , 5 1/2 for 18... 5 somes are the norm there but so so slow....whoever set up the tee boxe... Continue »

the greens were the best i have seen...fast like palm springs, the wait was unbearable....3 hours for 9 holes , 5 1/2 for 18... 5 somes are the norm there but so so slow....whoever set up the tee boxes..doesn't know what level is...they were so poorly placed. but again..the greens were unbelievably great...just need to bring the rest up to par......

Played 12-16. Greens are unbelievable. Very fast, very smooth, a little firm. Rest of the course, okay. Fairways and tee boxes were a little thin, sand traps very fluffy, though I was only in one ... Continue »

Played 12-16. Greens are unbelievable. Very fast, very smooth, a little firm. Rest of the course, okay. Fairways and tee boxes were a little thin, sand traps very fluffy, though I was only in one on 18, but my hat did get blown into another one. Got on very quickly as a single, and round went quickly, 4.5 hours.
