played here 9/22 and was surprised by good conditions. Starter let us go out early to get ahead of large group so the course was wide open all day for a 4 hr round. Tees were in good shape as were fairways and greens which had very few ball marks for a change. Rough was long and thick making it difficult to find balls sometimes and the bunkers appeared more dirt than sand. Also course is fairly interesting mix of holes.

played Sunday, 9/5... The course has become a full-fledge golf course. The greens are great and the sand is raked. The fairways are carved and manicured. They are actually fixing some teeboxes, which means they are still improving. The pace of play was good, since it hasn't been crowded in a while.

We had a great time. Pace of play was fine. A nice open course where it was easy to score.

The greens here are fairly tough, but in really good condition. Some of the tee boxes need to be level and repaired. Once again, the round was cooled by a nice soft breeze typical of courses located in OC.

Played on Friday, July 30. Some of the fairways were thin and brown in spots. Sand in the bunkers were great--nice and fluffy. We were able to finish the round in about 4 - 4 1/2 hours. The greens... Continue »

Played on Thurs, July, 29. I want to to cry...The course is getting better every week I go. The course is starting to have shaped fairways and manicured rough. The greens had light sand for some reason, but it did not affect play. The sand traps were nothing like I have seen before at Rancho, since they were all 10's!!! Raked and fluffy!!! The distances on the scorecard are very accurate, especially from the tips. I recommend this place later in the day(when I finish, nobody is playing).

Pace of play was excellent - only 4 hours during mid-day. Playing a round on a course that is 25 degrees cooler than inland courses reminds me why it is more expensive in OC. The overall condition of ... Continue »

Pace of play was excellent - only 4 hours during mid-day. Playing a round on a course that is 25 degrees cooler than inland courses reminds me why it is more expensive in OC. The overall condition of the course was good. My only complaint is that the girl at the BBQ doesn't wash her hands or wear gloves when handling your money and then preparing your food!

This has got to be one of the most overpriced courses in the OC. Fairways are horrible. Most of the fairways have weeds mixed in with the grass. Dirt patches here and there on many of the fairways.... Continue »

This has got to be one of the most overpriced courses in the OC. Fairways are horrible. Most of the fairways have weeds mixed in with the grass. Dirt patches here and there on many of the fairways. Greens are full of ball marks. I'm glad i only played $20 for the super twilight rate. I can't imagine paying $69 for a round here on the weekends.

Update – Rancho San Joaquin will be aerating the fairways on July 19th through the 23rd
