I played Rancho Park for the 1st time today. I was the first one off the tee at about 6:50am so pace of play was not an issue. Unfortunately I had to deal with quite a bit of fog and it was really tough to see much past 100 yards. This made things very challenging considering I haven't played here before! The fog burned off for the back 9 thankfully.

Practice facilities: Nice large putting green out front. Driving range is also large with two levels but the balls are in really bad shape. They need to replace the balls big time! There's a small, beat up chipping green off to the right of the range.

Tee boxes: Mostly in good shape. A couple were beat up but it didn't bother me that much.

Fairways: Most landing areas were good and lush. There's quite a few dead spots on the fairways but these tend not to be where you will be hitting balls from.

Rough: Rough is inconsistent. On some holes there really is no rough at all. On some holes you will find deep, nasty rough. Some holes have a lot of dead spots in the rough.

Sand: Sand was heavy and wet. I only hit out of fairway bunkers so I didn't mind. Greenside bunkers would not be so much fun.

Greens: Greens are in great shape here! They are rolling smooth and medium speed. Greens are pretty easy to read here. No big breaking putts for me today. Greens are quite soft and it was easy to leave big ball marks. Unfortunately, I saw quite a few unrepaired ball marks that I fixed.

Overall, I think this is a very enjoyable course. There is a good mix of short & long par 4's. The par 3's are quite long and challenging. I find it a bit odd that 17 & 18 are both reachable par 5's. This must kill pace of play at the end of the round during busy times. They are nice holes though. The landscape at Rancho is pretty interesting as there is a lot of old trees lining the fairways and many holes have some elevation change. It's an easy course to walk though.

For what I paid ($45 with pull cart) I think it's a good value. I would have a hard time paying much more than that. I assume weekends are more money. As it is really close to my house, I will probably end up here quite often.

I played here yesterday and overall the course is in great shape. It's a really enjoyable track with some strategic holes, especially on the front 9.

Greens and fairways are in great shape. I did find the greens a little slow but we teed off at 6:30am so I assume they would have been somewhat faster in the afternoon.

The rough is a little bare in spots but that would really be my only complaint. It was also quite foggy for the first few holes making it tough to see the greens. I'm new to the area so not sure if that is normal or not. Something to consider though if you're teeing it up early.
