Customer service top notch, range facility is excellent, good practice areas; bunker, chipping, putting zones.
Tee grounds in great condition, summer brown settling in places on tee box. Fairways are cut summer short, tight so leave those 12-14 degree bounce wedges in your bag for fairway shots under 90 yards. Roll out for Tee-driver shots are good, as me... » More

Customer service top notch, range facility is excellent, good practice areas; bunker, chipping, putting zones.
Tee grounds in great condition, summer brown settling in places on tee box. Fairways are cut summer short, tight so leave those 12-14 degree bounce wedges in your bag for fairway shots under 90 yards. Roll out for Tee-driver shots are good, as mentioned summer fast conditions. Bunkers reworked and in much better shape, although sand is inconsistent from one greenside bunker to the next. Which has always been a major challenge at this course, bunker sand consistency.

NOW THE BAD:
Greens are still not favorable. Playing partners in group rated the greens here 7/10, compared to a year ago. This is after an 8-week shutdown trying to redo the green putting surfaces. Now 32 days after the mid-July reopener, the greens are still in recovery mode. Many machine tracks still visible on the green surfaces. Several greens had square or rectangular patchwork of turf applied. We took relief on the greens from these patches. Line-gap separation between normal green surface and turf patches would cause the putted ball to roll WAY offline of the target line to cup/hole.

Was warned by starter; "greens need 2 more weeks". Same thing we were told the past 2x we played here in the last 3 weeks. But we keep going as we live adjacent to Arrowood GC. But honestly, the greens at Oceanside Muni, 2 miles away, are superior for roll, consistency and conditions than the greens here currently.

NOW THE REALLY BAD; Green fees are still $120 round on weekends, $100 during week. For the green conditions, poor value for your money. However, course staff are working very hard to ensure you have a good round. Beverage cart stopped by twice on each 9 holes, even though we ordered nothing from the cart. Golf riding carts are clean and in good shape. Food service, quality is a plus, although a bit $$, but what isn't expensive these days for food anywhere.

Had the pleasure of playing Dove Canyon as part of the Golf Moose Event. The facility was very accomodating and the staff were all pleasant and helpful. The range would be my only gripe, the area you hit off of is a giant mat but its extremely thin.

Had the pleasure of playing Dove Canyon as part of the Golf Moose Event. The facility was very accomodating and the staff were all pleasant and helpful. The range would be my only gripe, the area you hit off of is a giant mat but its extremely thin. Course was in pretty good shape considering the heat, there were some brown areas and a few holes were cart path only, but overall it was really nice. The tee boxes were all in pretty good shape, a few of them were a little more beat up but not horrible; fairways were like hitting off carpet and the greens were pretty close to the practice green. You cannot go too far left or right on this course or you will be punished. Greens werent super quick, but had some tiers. Sand was nice and fluffy, no rocks in the bunkers i visited. Pace of play for our group was about 4 hours and 15 minutes. Definitely worth playing if you get the chance.

Played 8/15/26 1 pm $109 w/ balls POP 4:20. Have not played here for many years. Course was in overall very good to great condition. Fairways had great coverage of green grass. An occasional browned out area mixed around, but mostly in very good shape. Greens were in very good shape. Too many balls marks left un repaired. They were very receptive and were running at a medium/slow pace with a decent roll. Noticed a few wobbles when the ball slowed down, sometimes seemingly breaking in the opposite direction. Rough was not overly tall, but that Kikoi can be really difficult. Saw the cart girl twice. Small driving range off of mats. Large putting green next to first tee. Was a little busy, mostly from a large tournament in front of us, but we were playing our 3 team/4 man scramble, so we were playing pretty fast. Nice mix of hole designs. Recommend if in the area.

I guess early dementia has set in? Disregard the Rancho Del Sol as I know I live in Fairfield at Rancho Solano. Man.

Anyways played twilight last evening on a beautiful evening up here for $35 w cart and could have walked (probably would have got lost) for $22.

Course in great shape at the moment as the weather has been great lately.

Tee boxes fine.

Fairways wide good roll and lies all round.

Traps could have used some raking but it was late and I guess to be expected in rough shape.

Greens are large but in nice speedy shape. Finally understand the elevations and undulations of many of them the more I play. Helps to eliminate 3 putts when knowing where to land to avoid them.

Great service as always from the shop.

Its a great public course that gets a lot of play but the keep it great shape.

Love living 1 mile from the clubhouse especially this time of the year.

It has been awhile since our last visit and frankly my recollections of the difficulty of the course might be a bit off now that we are more familiar with the course.

Bag drop was closeby and we just carried our bags in. They had mats for driving range with Callaway practice balls. Also had some limited flight range balls for long hitters.
Starter and staff were professional and helpful. Locker rooms clean and stocked.

Practice greens were nice and rolled true to stimp of 11.
It was a warm day so we opted to ride. Carts have plush seats with gps and distances to pins on them.

Course was pretty busy. Started on time and finished in 4 hours.

Greens rolled nicely and I can see how difficult the greens can be depending on pin placements. Certain spot with big gradients will be impossible to putt to. Glad the super placed the pins in friendly spots.

Fairways have good coverage. Rough was not too penalizing.
Drinking water was provided and carts have bottled water.

Overall, a fun day and worth the trip.
Thank you and see you next time.
