First time playing this course and conditions are what you would expect for $150 on a weekend. Greens were rolling true and fariways were tight and clipped short for good roll. Rough was solid but some bare spots. Beautiful course and a very enjoyable round. Quite a bit of water on this course which makes it very nice. The strange thing is, since the overall ambiance is nice, no one hole really stands out from the rest to call a "signature" hole in my opinion. Highly recommended for the splurge play.

It had been a couple years since I last played here! i was very impressed at what great condition the course was in and how well manicured everything was. The course presents itself very nicely visually! Only wish these "high end" Orange County courses weren't so expensive to play. That said, it is a very nice track!

can anyone tell me the condition of Tustin Ranch and is it worth the green fee?

Played back on Sunday 10/1 and my opinion/satisfaction at the time was colored by the fact that I sucked that day and never really felt in control or tempo. In retrospect, the course has an nice, interesting shape to it with a lot of contour and good use of water on a number of holes. On particular holes it definitely put a premium on a well struck and accurate shot (the 11th, I believe is par-three, all-carry over water to a well guarded green), but I think generally the safe areas were generous enough that if you hit it reasonably straight you would generally avoid being punished and had a chance to score. I agree with the previous review about it feeling somewhat like a private club in terma of facilities and the carts were the best I've personally driven.

I believe we were playing the blue tees and there wasn't any work going on yet at that time. The course was in good shape.

Price-wise it would normally be too rich for my blood unless it was a special occasion. While it is a nice course, on the occasion I'd spend that much myself, there are other courses I elect to go to first. It was a drive for me from Altadena, so an equivalent driving radius would include a lot of options. My buddy selected the course and paid in return for a little work I did as a favor for him. He paid for myself and a client and used a two-for-one coupon with the client and a $20 discount on my fee.

If it's in your price range, I would recommend giving it a try. It's a very nice facility. Don't suck, and you'll appreciate it more.

The course is looking fantastic. They are currently overseeding a couple of black tee boxes so the tees were up on about 4 holes. No problem there since the change only shortened the length to around 6600-6700 yds. If you found the fairway, you found a smooth, short, fast carpet. The greens had a few blemishes but it was the end of the day Sunday so it's not their fault, just some inconsiderate duffers. We paid $69 for the twilight (although it was only 2:08) and got in all 18, so it was a very good value. With the fine service, good practive area, and great tap room, Tustin Ranch has the look and feel of a country club. If you can get around the full fare ($150), this is a great place to go.

Tustin Ranch is a good course, but shouldn't be as expensive as it is. I try and take advantage of any specials and the location makes Twilight a value sometimes

Played 7/15 Saturday, course is in OK shape for the price (even with OC Trails card). You can never drive onto about 50% of the fairways so what good does the new GPS do? Fairways had been pluged and greens were inconsistent. There are mush better courses to play at lower price even in the OC.

3 1/2 hour round. Will do it again.
