Looking for somewhere to play which would not be quite so hot, but even Costa Mesa was hot. Just a fun course to play. Because of the interesting green complexes, always presents a challenge, not because of the shorter distance, but rather the unique greens. As usual, course was in very nice condition, staff was great and all things considered, pace of play decent. If you have not played this course, don't let the shorter yardage dissuade you.

It had been a while since I played here, so looking for somewhere inexpensive and not too far to drive, settled on Fullerton. Staff is always great here and the rates are reasonable. Conditions are pretty much what I expected after reading Larry's review. However, since the greens were good, that was the most important criteria for me. Playing "winter rules" allows me to tolerate the otherwise less than ideal conditions. I enjoy the course because it offers some interesting holes

Not a great deal of change from when I played here last month, except the greens are a lot slower and softer now. Otherwise, conditions are very playable. Some of the tee boxes need a "haircut" but always able to find a spot to put the peg in the ground. Enjoy the layout. Interesting, a challenge, but not so penal as to stress you out. Staff is always accommodating, and the charges are still reasonable. Recommend this course

Out early as usual on a rather busy Saturday morning. First out so no issues with pace of play. Greens are very soft/receptive, but not as quick as normal. A lot more unrepaired ball marks (?). Tee boxes beginning to recover, but still have a way to go. The fairways are just awful. The rye grass is all burned out and the Bermuda has not taken. Playing the ball "down" now would be really tough. I have been a member for 35 years and have never seen the fairways in worse condition. I understand that the course will be overseeding shortly, but how it was allowed to deteriorate to his condition is inexcusable.

First time back out on the North since it closed two weeks ago. Sadly, I have to agree with the review by Cotoman as to conditions. If you played the ball "down", it would be a real struggle. I kind of expected the fairways and tees to be less than desirable, but I was disappointed in how slow the greens are. Despite telling myself to hit the putt, it's tough to erase 35 years of memory as to the normal green speed. I hope they return to their typical pace. However, the greens are also so soft, that you can stop a wood on the greens now, leaving huge ball marks. (Just wish more people would repair those marks)

Had not played here for a while, so was looking forward to returning. The course was kind of what I expected condition wise. Some positives (greens) and some negatives (fairways) I did not have high expectations, so was all that disappointed by conditions. (Plus, I read the last review, so knew what to expect) It was more about geographic proximately than any other reason to play here. I've always enjoyed the layout, some fun holes, but know going in that there will be conditioning issues. However, despite the slower greens and areas which should have been parked GUR, enjoyed the round.

I generally do not play golf in the afternoon but agreed to meet some friends to play Rancho Park. I expected the round to be brutally slow, but it was not all that bad, maybe because I enjoyed the company. Under five hours, so tolerable. Round conditions were decent, greens being the best part. Fairways for the most part had good coverage. Only found one bunker, and it had sand and was maintained. Overall, no real complaints.

Hard not to enjoy such a fine old traditional course like Rancho Park. It provides adequate challenge, with being penal or overwhelming. Golf like I grew up playing.

Coose Costa Mesa because I was concerned about the heat, but weather was not an issue. Overcast and very pleasant. Not much change from my review from last month. Course remain sin very nice condition. Greens a bit quicker than last month - rolled well. Fairways have good coverage. A few tee boxes need some attention, but not a big deal. Always enjoy my time here. Staff is friendly and the course is just simply fun to play. Reasonably priced for Orange County is a bonus.

Very busy on Thursday morning. Everyone had the same idea I guess, which was to beat the heat. Course has handled the temperatures very well. Greens not as fast as normal. (Maybe to protect them?) They still roll well and are very receptive. Fairways have great coverage. Bunkers are good but might seem a bit compacted - they are very "heavy". The course will be closed for two weeks beginning 8/5/74 to aerate the fairways. (Seems like an excessive time?)

Out early, on what is expected to be another hot day. I'm told they punched the greens last week, but they appear pretty much healed. Fairways generally fine, with good coverage. Bunkers not yet maintained, so difficult to be too critical. Always enjoy this course. Enough of a challenge to enjoy, but not penal, so makes for a stress free round.

With the expected heat, nice to get out early and finish quickly. Course remains in nice condition. Greens very receptive. However, I noticed a bunch of unrepaired ball marks, which is not usual for this course? The tee boxes are beginning grow back in, after being over seeded a couple weeks ago. Fairways are really solid right now. Bunkers are fine, but the sand seems "heavy" and tough to play any longer sand shots (Greenside). All in all, very satisfied with the course conditions.

Took advantage of an invite from a friend for an early round, which from prior experience is the only good time to play Rio Hondo (Or anywhere for that matter) Robert's recent review was spot on, although I thought the greens were a bit quicker than I expected. Certainly not fast, but decent pace. Good coverage in the fairways. The two bunkers I found had well maintained sand. Rough was a bit inconsistent, but never severe.

Always enjoy playing this course. Enough of a challenge without being too penal. A few of the four pars are becoming a bit too long for me, but that too is becoming the norm everywhere I play now. Fun interesting layout at a decent price, and the staff is always good to deal with.
