Excellent Day

Playing alone on a Monday turned out to be one of the greatest rounds of my life. Imagine having a 5 star course to yourself for a few hours. Doesn't happen ever on the populated courses. This place is a diamond in the rough. Worth the drive. Just don't tell anyone..

The Ranch

I was a member here for years. I miss the Legends but the Ranch was always the more difficult of the two. 7,8,12, and 14 are four of the toughest holes on any course anywhere. Conditions were excellent and greens superb. Wild pigs are making their mark the last week but don't affect play. The course is soft but most are this time of year. The clubhouse needs new carpet but the grill room is nice and the food generous and good.

Definitely a great course and could play it daily. It's walkable with a push cart.

Pace of Play

Back nine was so slow took 3 hrs - Senior women. Those women should know their ability to play a course like this. They wasted other people time. Grande needs to have a Marshall.

Great Variety

The course was in awesome shape. I found it to be a very difficult layout. Greens very tough to read and require some thought about your surroundings all the time. Not many risk reward opportunities. Mainly just risk. Best thing about it is that no two holes are remotely the same.

A shotmaker's golf course

The layout and terrain of this course demands that the player be able to hit what he/she is aiming at. Whether you are laying up or shaping a shot around one of the many hazards, a well executed shot will reward you with a lower score. Stray off the fairway and you are in for a long day.

Ranch Course, Diablo Grande

Even with the drought they have been able to maintain the fairways and especially greens in great shape. The course is well worth the drive, especially mid week. Staff is always great, and the lunch is worth staying for after your round.

Tough Course

Wanted to try a new course and found this one. I can see why it was such a great price in the middle of the day. It was 100 deg. The course is great but very difficult. Fairways & greens are in great shape. Some of the rough is very tall, dry grass. The par 5's are longer than most courses. Good scenery & wildlife. Saw a few deer out there. Not a good place for beginners.

Really enjoyed the layout of the course.

The course was in great condition and the greens were consistent although not challenging ( a good thing for my score ). The four deer grazing on the 12th hole never came into play and they ate only the occasional weeds. A very nice day.
