First thing first, need to be careful with the greens here in Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course, they're not just fast, but tricky 😯. Hole 4, a dogleg right, the green itself is a hill, particularly the putting area, and the course is so evil to set the ping at the top of the green, so if you're short, ball will roll back out of the green, and if you're long, your ball will be roll over to the tee box of Hole 5, very challengingly 😊 fun !!! Hole 5 & 6 are both another challenges, big ponds in front of the greens on the right (5) and left (6, called Ted's Pond) sides of the fairways, need to make sure your aims with accuracy. Hole 12 is the first challenge in the Back 9, 530 yards Par 5, with big pond on the right side. Hole 14, a big down slope at around 160 yards, you'll gain extra distance from it.
Great course when the greens are unpredictable and you aren't hitting behind slow groups. Marshall's are around but ive never seen someone let a group pass through. Daylight savings makes it hard to finish on the weekends after 12:40, but It can be done. Hole 14 is very busy, and plays slow. Be careful of the people on 15. They wont hear a 290 yard fade if u aim middle. Awesome range and putting green. $8.00 hot dogs with chips. Pretty chill bar and service area on the turn. Order food on 7 like everyone.
I only practice here. Good bunker practice area,small putting green and pitch/chip area.
The pace of play is ridiculously slow. 3 hours and 15 mins to get through 8 holes before we called it quits. There are no Marshalls/Rangers on the course to enforce anything. Called the pro-shop to ask for help and was told that they expect pace of play to be slow! Incredibly unprofessional.
Who is in charge of the greens here? Seriously!! Only play here if you putt better than Tiger Woods. Other than that people were nice, course was ok but definitely not worth the money. I would give it a better rating if the greens weren’t so extremely challenging.
