Joined a buddy for a late twilight round at Rancho Park this week and found the course to be in really good shape. I would say that just about every aspect of the course is in slightly above average condition across the board, which is a pretty nice combination. Even POP was tremendous as we finished right at four hours to come in just before darkness fell across the Cheviot Hills. We had been paired with an older couple for the first nine, and once they took off at the turn, we cruised through the back nine with only minimal waits on the group in front of us. Greens were rolling very true but not exactly lightning fast, but coverage is nice and they hold shots well. Fairways have good coverage and the rough is thick but playable. Bunkers had varying layers of sand depending on the hole, while the tee boxes were mostly flat and had good grass coverage. So, as previously mentioned, everything is in really good shape, but nothing absolutely perfect. It's definitely nice and very playable right now though.
