Had to the opportunity to play this course this week and one word comes to mind, amazing! Nestled in the rancho sante fe area I had no idea this course was here till I played it. When you drive thru the guard shack and get a chance to see one of the holes you are instantly impressed. Everything was amazing, except for the traps, but I’ll get to that in a minute.

Clubhouse was amazing with lots of memorabilia, I guess one of the members is a former leader of the seal teams and it shows throughout the clubhouse. Carts were awesome with good power and very comfortable seats with full gps.

The course was amazing. Tee boxes were lush level and almost no divot damage. Fairways were lush and like carpet. Not a brown spot in sight. They have done their own turf reduction and used crushed sand / rock. Nice brown look and easy to hit from. I wish more courses would use this, it sets off the fairways nicely and you can still play your ball and not worry about damaging your club. The rough was very manageable but you had to think about your shot. Wasn’t in a fairway bunker but was in a few green side bunkers and they were the only negative. They were crusty and some had a few small rocks. The greens were rolling very smooth, almost no pitch marks and very fast. You can not be above the hole on this course!

I don’t talk about course layout often but this course had a great mix of holes. Some tight with danger on both side and some open where you can blast away. The pat 3 were awesome with #5 being a good challenge. Very nice water features throughout the courses and some amazing houses on the property.


If you get the chance to play I would jump all over it. Maybe GK/GM can set up an outing, you will not be disappointed.
