I have been playing this course for over 20 years and have gone through all the ups and downs at the property. My group had not played a round in like 10 months here so we could give the course a chance to improve with the new owners. We just had an early tee time and while waiting to tee off a group of "members" went in front of us and cut us off. They didn't say anything to us and unfriendly words ensued. The pro shop told us members can do that. How awesome. We teed off late and got in line with a ton of groups at 7:30 in the morning. This is the first time I have ever felt unwelcome at Rancho. The course continues to be in poor condition and the proshop is run by kids. My group has no interest in returning. The members can have their crappy course to themselves.

It's not that great. For the driving range. Do you guys pick up the balls with a lawnmower (lots of them cut up) Or what another gentleman said out loud yesterday "damn did you guys pick them up from a swamp" cause all of the balls are dirty. Not even including how dry it is. The course is... Wack. Dry and patchy or some spots muddy. Like the greens are spongy you'll see your footprints. Like why is it so wet. The only thing I liked about the green being so wet it stopped my ball from rolling.

This was a terrible experience. There was a group of 6 in front of us that was slowing us down. We jumped in front of them after nine only to be stuck behind a group of 8. No marshal on duty. They never let our group of 3 play through. Horrible pace of play. As far as the course goes, fairways were in terrible condition. Mostly dead and super hard. Greens were in decent shape.

Wish I could give zero stars. Worst course I have ever played in terms of course condition. Course receives zero maintenance. Fairways are nothing but dead grass and hardpan (see photo). Greens are full of weeds and were as slow as shag carpet. Staff should be embarrassed that they actually charge money to play here. I will not be returning.

We hosted the 2025 Castle Air Museum charity golf tournament here on Sep 12. Everything went smoothly, much in part to the professional staff who maintain the course, pro shop, and golf carts. Scott Slown with Slown's Reimaged created some fantastic custom plaques for our winners.
