Talked to one of the pros and he indicated that they were trying to get the range and the back 9 open within a week or so. He indicated that numbers 4, 6 & 7 were complete losses and will have to be totally rebuilt. He said the good news was they at least know what a worst case rain/runoff is now and can rebuild the course accordingly.

Rustic Canyon golf course suffered flooding damage in the recent storm. We will be closed for three to four weeks at our best estimates. There are no phone lines at the course at this time. When the phones are up and working we will let you know. There is no access to the course at this time and there probably will not be for a few weeks.

Rustic Canyon is a beautiful wide open course. By far my Favorite in the county

Got in the front nine on Friday afternoon/eve. Fairways in great shape. Some of the greens/fringes showing ball marks. Number 7 is back to a par 4 and appears to be holding up in all of this rain.

I know most people on reading these posts already fix their ball marks - but make sure you fix them on Rustic's large fringes, particularly when it is soft like now. Better yet fix three on each green and fringe and this will help keep this gem in good shape even with the large amount of play it gets.

A great course to play. Probably for the money and experience, the best around the area. Try it if you can

Played this course on 12/26 $53 walking). A links style course, relatively undulating difficult to judge distances and with the yardage books being redone- no help in knowing were the trouble lays without playing there before. Fairways in great condition, greens were some of the trickier ones that I've encountered, difficult breaks- almost felt like a minuature golf course. Some of the holes dangerously close together (fairway to tee box or green).
Challenging and a pretty good deal. May try again if my ego can take it :)

great course and really fun. makes you hit many different kind of shots. wind was blowing very hard part of the round and what a difference. greens are unbeliveable and pretty fast. some holes almost ... Continue »

great course and really fun. makes you hit many different kind of shots. wind was blowing very hard part of the round and what a difference. greens are unbeliveable and pretty fast. some holes almost impossible. but a course you'll always want to play again.

This course is great! Wide open fairways(with my slice I need them wide). Tee boxes were great and the fairways were green and full. There are many fairway and greenside bunkers (they are kept in tip ... Continue »

This course is great! Wide open fairways(with my slice I need them wide). Tee boxes were great and the fairways were green and full. There are many fairway and greenside bunkers (they are kept in tip top shape!) The greens had a few ball marks. The greens are huge and fast though. NO fivesomes, YEAAAHHHHH! This course is outstanding! I highly suggest it!
