they recently punched the greens and they were very dry and bumpy. The wind is drying them out more water would help. overall nice course still needs maturing

Greens are bumpy. Some of the Greens have large patches from severe damage. Speed is medium to slow. Greens look better than they play.

Fairways are OK, but there are a few areas that are muddy, swampy-- over watered.

Roughs are cut short, one inch. You cannot lose a ball in it.

Sand traps are hard not much sand.

Teeing grounds are fair to good and lush.

I only get to play this course a few times a year so the changes stands out if any. Rates were $42 to ride, now $52. There are new trees planted by the teeing ground and when they grow fully, they will be in the way.

The course is not hard at all. We always do good and have fun on this course as we did last Saturday.

We hope this course don't deteriorate.

Fairways are great and greens are very receptive.

We thought that we'd give RV another shot. My last review reflected some conditions I had not previously seen here-- bare spots on greens, mainly. It looked like there was a fungus attack coupled with drying winds. That was several weeks ago and there has been only marginal recovery to date. The large repair area on #2 green has not heeled in. A few of the greens had dry / barren areas. Not the end of the world, but could be better. Putts were not affected as much as you would think. A simple yet low tech solution: send out the syringe crew. A few guys with hoses to hit the hot spots on the greens as needed, during the day. Control the water, control the fungus.

When they aerified greens this year they lost too much bent. Usually, the greens are running 8/9 and dense. Palmdale is proud of Rancho Vista and Greg Anderson for bringing it to us.

Looks like there's trouble in paradise here at Rancho Vista. Before I hammer the course, I will say it wasn't as bad as I am going to make ti out to be. There was lots of discolored grass in the fairways and rough. The #2 green had a rather large repair area, approximately 10' X 10' right in the middle of the green. Many greens had barren areas; could be they had a fungal attack followed by drying winds. Also, there was lots of poa annua on nearly every green that made for a pretty shoddy appearance. If the poa were more evenly distributed and incorporated into the bentgrass, it would at least look better. Putting was not affected as much as you would think. Wind was more of a factor than the poa. Many areas of turf, including some tee boxes, were saturated. Some areas needed water, including parts of some greens. I hate to say it, but I have never seen conditions here this bad. I trust the course will get things back on track soon.

Course in good shape except for some greens. Front 9 greens still have some sand on them. Some dry patches on greens.
