I love this place. I consider it my home course and I'm about a half hour drive away. It's worth the trip every time. I love elevated tees, and virtually every hole on this course is from an elevated tee. The ball rolls nicely on the faster paced greens, and they're not too difficult to read. The course is in the middle of housing tracts and I usually don't care for courses surrounded by houses, but in this case they aren't really on top of you. They are set back a bit so they are not too much of a distraction. Just avoid slicing your tee shot (for right handers) on 11 and 17. Not too long ago many of the grassy fairway and rough areas were converted to desert waste areas. Not too punishing for your ball to end up there, but it can scratch up your clubs. Toughest hole: 17 - long par 4 and usually into a wind. Most peculiar hole for good course management: 8 - potentially tricky, relatively short par 4. Don't be too tempted to pull out driver on the tee. Stay away from water all down the left and in front. Rancho Vista has my favorite finishing hole. Great par 5 with the wind usually at your back; good birdie opportunity to clean up your round. Driving range features grass tee row, and the putting green is one of the most undulating I've ever seen. There's also a pitching practice area next the 9th green, though I've never used it. Great overall, accessable facility and I've usually played my round in less than four hours.
