Great value and a nice course
Relatively easy to play, but with some challenging greens and water. Ideal for intermediate players and good value for money!
It was an ok outing but Marshall needs to chill out.
We played Saturday and the round started off smooth. We had a group in front that needed some holes to warm up - our group was playing at the pace the front group will allow, then on the 4th hole, they all must of bombed their drives, because when we got to the tee box, they hit their approach shots and were headed for the green, then the Marshall comes up to us and tells us that we’re 3 holes behind… like what??? So we picked up our pace and guess what… we ended up waiting on hole 5 because we were not 3 holes behind… didn’t understand the marshal why he would say something us that wasn’t true. 3 Asians and one white guy in our group and guess who the Marshall said this too - not the white guy but us. I went to UC Irvine and I’m not surprised.
MUCH improved
Ranch is much improved and the management should be congratulated for investing in fixing up the course and the fairways. Its in the best shape I’ e seen it in in YEARS. Dead dry patches in the fairways sodded and regrown, well kept, greens in great shape. I will definitely start playing here more again.
Good Experience except for aeration
I hadn't played here in a long time, but the course was better than I remembered as a course. Challenging enough without being penalizing. I will take some blame for not looking or researching in advance as this is the time of year for aeration, but the greens were covered in sand/top dressing. it was extensive. It made the putts slow and inconsistent but it wasn't as bad as it would have appeared. So my comments are mostly that the course is worth playing at a decent price especially for Orange County.
Don’t play here
I had expected the course to be terrible shape from the other reviews. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either. And there were a few cart path only holes which really slows down play. Some of the greens were ridiculous too. I would not play here until it’s fixed up.
Just not what it was
I played here for the first time in 2015. Excellent course in the burbs. Now, in 2024, I'm afraid this will be my last time playing. Course has deteriorated so much that it isn't worth the money anymore.
Still not there
Pace of play here is horrendous. Marshall/ambassadors are useless. This could be a great time except for the lack of pace of play
Greens are excellent. Fairways are respectable
Good price for a good round
This is a excellent place to save on green fees. The course layout is mostly flat with a couple of uphill tee shots. It is not long, but the fairways can give a challenge with approach shots if you do not get the ball out there. Greens are challenging because of various slopes. Overall, because of good pricing and reasonable fairway and green maintenance, this is a good place to play a round of golf.
First one in 2024
Good to out on Golf Course
Player better than I thought would be and had great companions. It is hard to get tee time here.
Wish course was more managed better.
Due to rain there’s lot of grass grown so much that you could lose the ball easily
Green conditions were good as usual.
Wish I could play more often.
Rough conditions after saturating rains
After a week of dry weather I was hoping for better conditions but there were areas of standing water and places where one’s ball could plug. Construction on a few holes. But I’m most critical of the overly contoured greens. They roll fast and true but the contours make it almost a miniature golf-like experience on the greens. The staff was great and I still had a good time golfing with my son.
