Played for the first (and maybe last) recently. It's definitely a muni. Bring a helmet, the holes are on top of each other. The course wasn't even that busy and I was dodging balls left and right. Conditions were good, greens were nice. Not much of a layout but there are some good holes. It's hard to complain for the price ($10 for twilight) but you do get what you pay for and not much more. If you like muni golf, play San Clemente some time. The conditions aren't any better than Recreation but the layout and the overall golf experience is much better.

It's my local course. Gets a lot of play but for some reason on this Sunday afternoon I suppose the sun/moon/stars were all aligned b/c this course played like a champ! I mean the greens rolled true. They played firm but with a properly hit ball you could stick it just as well as run it up. Folks actually fixed their divots. The fairways were in tip top shape. A little soft in some areas but for the most part they were in areas you have no business being. Today they played the blues from the tips and it was fun especially with the wind picking up in the PM. I would STRONGLY SUGGEST staying away so I can enjoy this course. If not well you will be very happy with the course. Rough was thick and busy around greens. Sand in bunkers was nice and soft -- great for touch shots out of trouble. Oh btw course played reasonably fast after front 9 antics. This twosome (two girls) went off-roading on the second hole by running over the second hole green with their golf cart. None too clever and very slow but once they left play did pick up considerably. Enjoy!

they are re doing the tee boxes..so there are at least 8 temporary tee boxes set up ...not bad , but can't play the full course....not crowded though!!!

Boy I do hate slow play and today was the reason I stopped going to Rancho in the first play. SLOW round. 5+ hours. It was painful to say the least and the amount of play on the course really has these greens in torn up shape. I mean it's pitted. And although they do fix their divots the greens look like the moon with fixed craters everywhere. Fairways look burnt in spots but very green for the most part. They move around the tee boxes and some of the tees were not level but dealable. Bunkers are nice and well filled. Back to the group so bloody slow. What gives them the right to literally wait for the group ahead of them to be on the green before they start to hit. They played a version of conference golf where both carts had to be present whilst one hit. The only time they got a clue to speed play was when the sun set over the hills and it was literally getting darker by the second.

Played twilight on a Saturday a week ago and the 3rd hole was backed up with 3 groups. Unbelievable!!! The course was decent but it took 3 hours to play nine holes.

Played 9 today super twighlight. BOY DO I LOVE SUMMER! What does that mean for us golfers? More light so that even teeing off after 6:30 can get you in 9 holes before sunset. Course played fast even with folks skipping holes and jumping in front of us. No worries. Greens in as good as shape as I have seen (remembering last year about this time.) They run true but are soft accept high shots and stick and especially fast enough to run balls off greens. Tee boxes flat for muni and in good shape. Rough was cut recently so you can say the 5 inch rough is gone is most obvious places. Fairways are lush. What can I say it's Long Beach baby and the golfing's great!
