Played late on Sunday and pace was fine at 4.5 hrs. Greens were in good condition but fairways thin and even dirt in a lot of spots. Probem here was no one fixes ball marks or rakes bunkers.

played on Sunday, 6/20...In the past, I have given this course decent ratings...With that said, sometimes, things have to get worse before they get better. The greens were "vertical cut" two thursdays ago(10 days) and there are still signs. The tee boxes have not improved at all, but I'll be patient with that since this course receives heavy play. I do like the fact that the fairways are slowly improving and the sand traps are actually sand. They are even fluffy, maybe because of Father's Day...Anyways, the pace of play was slow, due to the weekend holiday, and the fact that I never golf on the weekends. Basically, give this course two weeks before giving it any type of serious critique...It will be fine by then...

I usually play this course when my playing partners are out of town and I'm itching to get out. I was surpised this weekend when I was able to play the course in four hours. There was no one in front or behind of us. This is not common for this course. Teed off at 1:00 pm and finished at 5:00 pm.

Yes...it's me, rating Rancho again...I have to tell you, the course is getting better every week...The greens are better than Costa Mesa, and CM has great greens...My only suggestion is to re-sod the ... Continue »

Yes...it's me, rating Rancho again...I have to tell you, the course is getting better every week...The greens are better than Costa Mesa, and CM has great greens...My only suggestion is to re-sod the fairways...They did on a few holes last year, but none this year...Service is always good and this course is one of the better values...Another thing, playing the course in 3 hours helps the rating...

Course in fair condition. Greens are great but fairways and rough need attention. Problem with 9 holers being placed on back 9 causing us to wait. This is un-necessary. Fair value for walkers. Thanks.

Walked in four hours today. Greens are in great shape. Very slick. You wanna be below the hole, not matter what. Fairways are avg. to below avg; along with the rough. This course is very rough around the edges. But, walkable, and the greens make up for the rest of shagginess (if that's a word:-)). $40 to walk is a little steep. It compares to San Clemente, and it's only $30 to walk.

I played today and the course is in pretty good condition. The greens are the best that it's been in at least a year! The round took almost 3 HOURS TO PLAY!!! The starter did us a favor and put us(... Continue »

I played today and the course is in pretty good condition. The greens are the best that it's been in at least a year! The round took almost 3 HOURS TO PLAY!!! The starter did us a favor and put us(twosome) in front of five walking women...Great move! We played 17 & 18 three times each and the group behind were nowhere to be seen...Overall, the course was not crowded and course conditions are par for a muni course.

Played late May. Course was ok, fairways were rough, greens decent. Got out in 3rd group in AM, only to find them packing in 9 holers when we made the turn.

Played late May. Course was ok, fairways were rough, greens decent. Got out in 3rd group in AM, only to find them packing in 9 holers when we made the turn.

Even though we were on the heels of the group ahead, they shoved in a 3-some of retired ladies. I went in the proshop and found out that nobody had teed off the front in 25 minutes, and there wasn't another group for 20. Yet still, they sent them off the back.

I won't be returning.

I pretty much echo what Gntloryntl had to say. I have been playing this course since the early 70's (I'm old) and the greens have never been better. 0 complaints here.

Not all the Fairways are in pristine conditon, but I had no bad lies.
Grass gets brown in hot weather. So what. A 3-1/2 hour round in
Southern Calif. even on a week day is unheard of these days but we did it.
The fringe around the greens is fluffy and very unforgiving. You gotta be committed or it will cost you.
All in all - A great day with some great guys. I may learn to like this game if I can learn how to play it.
