played early on a weekday morning just to practice, not a lot of people out. course was in kind of ragged condition, which is pretty much what is expected here. tee boxes shaggy, fairways were green but had lots of overwatered muddy spots. greens were fairly poor, bumpy, a bit patchy, difficult to putt straight on. POP was good because i played early. they let out a few fivesomes behind us. nothing really special here just your typical GC run by american golf.

Played 10/27 with 1:07 tee time. The greens were subpar for RSJ as footprints and ball marks were visible everywhere making putting a challenge. Sandtrap sand was either packed or overgenerous in s... Continue »

Played 10/27 with 1:07 tee time. The greens were subpar for RSJ as footprints and ball marks were visible everywhere making putting a challenge. Sandtrap sand was either packed or overgenerous in spots as I hit numerous bunkers to attest to the quality or lack thereof. I understand half of the greens will be punched over the next two days so playing conditions should improve by mid November unless they continue to overwater for the new seeds to take. It was swampy in the fairways in spots.

First time here. Enjoyed the lay out, but greens were terrible. The starter said they aerated half the greens 2 weeks ago. I couldn't tell what was the better half. For $47 walking, I now know why t... Continue »

First time here. Enjoyed the lay out, but greens were terrible. The starter said they aerated half the greens 2 weeks ago. I couldn't tell what was the better half. For $47 walking, I now know why the pace of play was good (under 5 hrs) for a weekend. Over priced. I hope they fix their greens, because the curvature of the greens were fantastic.

Decided to make an early return here based on my positive recent visit. However, playing at 11:15 is a whole lot different than at 5:15am. Took over 4/12 hours which I guess isn't all that bad consi... Continue »

Decided to make an early return here based on my positive recent visit. However, playing at 11:15 is a whole lot different than at 5:15am. Took over 4/12 hours which I guess isn't all that bad considering. What I noticed today that I missed the last time is that the greenside bunkers have no sand in them! Otherwise course was in decent condition.

Have not played here in over three years! What an inprovement. There is actually grass on the fairways, the greens rolled reasonably well and just overall the course looks better. Not so scruffy and ... Continue »

Have not played here in over three years! What an inprovement. There is actually grass on the fairways, the greens rolled reasonably well and just overall the course looks better. Not so scruffy and uncared for as in the past. Big improvement.

Got my first hole-in-one on #13. It took 45 years of playing this game to finely get one. Rancho San Joaquin just completed refurbishing their driving range and training facility and it’s great. They also updated the restaurant and patio area. The course is in good shape, greens are recovering well from aeration a few weeks ago. We play here every Thursday and it’s usually a 4 hour 30 minute game.

Teed off at 9:30, finished a little over 5 hours later. Course is in OK shape with lots of wet areas on and off fairways. Fairways are rock hard and thin in some places. Greens are recovering from ... Continue »

Teed off at 9:30, finished a little over 5 hours later. Course is in OK shape with lots of wet areas on and off fairways. Fairways are rock hard and thin in some places. Greens are recovering from aeration but are still pretty bumpy. Crews were sanding back half of greens today and almost impossible to judge speed if you end up back there. Lots of work in progress to improve course, hope they get it all done by summer.

Wanted to visit " Victoria of OC"....

Suprised at condition.

Off in 1st group Sat- walked front in 1.5- ran into back 9ers on 15- 2-hrs.

Course was green- few bare spots if any. Fairways way overwatered. Tight lies, but grass. No rough.

Nice layout- few big trees but lot o variety. Couple tough up hill p3's from black. Not a lot of trouble otherwise.

Greens were tops- hard, very fast, true rolling and offer the challenge to course. very few flat greens- lots of mounding. Must be below hole on most. Bunkers fine.

Much better than expected round-course is not difficult getting to the greens. 17 & 18 short P4 & P5 to finish with easy pars. Toughest is actual 1 handicap first P5 where you need to fit 2nd shot between 2 lakes and gaggle of coots, 3rd over water to uphill green.

$46 to walk - local- now in Sat rotation. Only knock is early groups catching back side.

Played here last week, I got a good deal online to play. They're are a lot of juniors that play this course. Guys at the pro shop were great. The fairways were a little muddy on some holes with bare spots but they're trying to fix that problem because they're cart path only but that doesn't seem to stop some people because I saw a few with carts on the fairway. The greens were good, rolled faster that I was expecting. Tee boxes do need a little work other than that I liked this course I would defiantly come back.
