I've played Lemoore a handful of times over the last couple of months and conditions aren't quite as nice as they were at the beginning of the summer but they are still fairly decent. Greens are rolling nice and all but one (#4) are in great shape. Best I’ve seen them since I’ve been playing. Fairways have started to brown up and show some thin spots but I never had a bad lie today so no complaints. Tee boxes are decent as well. Sand traps are predictable which is all you can ask for here in the valley. They have a moderate about of dirt/sand in them which usually has a crusty feel to it.

For a muni course with very reasonable rates, Lemoore fits the bill to get in an inexpensive practice round on decent conditions. Layout is nothing exciting as it’s a completely flat course. I do like the fact that I only use driver off the tee four times in the opening 11 holes.

Lemoore is not worth a special trip outside of 30 miles but recommended for sure if in the area and needing a quick inexpensive round .

Played here today teeing up at 7;30 and finishing at 11:30 walking. I really like Rancho Park Golf Course. It is a pleasure to walk, provides plenty challenges, and the old school lay-out is super fun. Conditions right now are good for a muni however as always they could use some TLC throughout the course. Greens ran smooth but still had a little sand on them and debris from t... » More

Played here today teeing up at 7;30 and finishing at 11:30 walking. I really like Rancho Park Golf Course. It is a pleasure to walk, provides plenty challenges, and the old school lay-out is super fun. Conditions right now are good for a muni however as always they could use some TLC throughout the course. Greens ran smooth but still had a little sand on them and debris from the trees put still was able to get 3 birdies. I would give everything a 6.5 out of 10 except for the design which in my opinion is a 9. Use every club in your bag and hit all kinds of shots to score well. I highly recommend playing here if you can get an early time.

23 years in SoCal, and I finally made it out to Sandpiper. Played on 11/19/19 using a nice deal from GolfMoose ($129 with free replay).

An amazing location with almost continuous close-up views of the ocean. The course itself is pretty much wide open - bombs away.

Greens were really fast - just as fast as The Saticoy Club on the prior day. However, Sandpiper ... » More

23 years in SoCal, and I finally made it out to Sandpiper. Played on 11/19/19 using a nice deal from GolfMoose ($129 with free replay).

An amazing location with almost continuous close-up views of the ocean. The course itself is pretty much wide open - bombs away.

Greens were really fast - just as fast as The Saticoy Club on the prior day. However, Sandpiper does not have the severity of Saticoy's greens, so you could make some putts here. There are a few greens with some small aeration holes - but that is visual only - they never impacted line or speed. The greens are really outstanding right now.

There are some obvious areas where the grass is not growing in fairways and rough. Most of the course has good coverage, but there are a lot of areas with little coverage. Play it "up" and have some fun. Tee boxes and sand were great.

POP was 4.5 hours.....but for 36 holes. It was empty today. Played 36 as a single, saw nothing but singles or twosomes, and never caught anyone. Hold your nose on #11, whatever industrial facility is on the other side of the trees STINKS! But that run of holes from #10 through #14 is amazing.

Staff was super-nice and helpful.

Sandpiper is definitely a "gotta do it once" course, and I would love to go back again on the GolfMoose deal anytime.
