The Golf Club at Rancho California
Golf Course Review Golf Club at Rancho California in Murrieta, CA

Player 9/25 going out at 8:40 – was booked as a single but paired up with Brian on the tee, nice guy, good stick and good company.
First and most important – this is currently CART PATH ONLY. Those who know the course understand that can lead to some VERY long walks with 1/3 of your bag in hand to have the right club when you finally get there. Even so, POP was an easy 4 hours despite waiting on several holes due to a slower 4 some a couple holes ahead.
Tees and fairways ranged from a little shaggy to a lot shaggy, with the fairways being pretty soft w/little to no run-out. Greens are coming around nicely, first few hadn’t been cut but when we reached the ones that had and the sun/wind dried them out they pick up quite a bit of pace. Back nine you could barely tell they’d been punched and all rolled true.
Bunkers leave a little to be desired, half & half sand/dirt mix that was quite “heavy” but at least they’re consistent and reasonably playable.
Overall it was worth the price but with the cart path only I’d say just barely – once that limitation is gone I’d definitely recommend it.
