Reviews & Ratings for Rancho Park Municipal Golf Course

Great Layout

by golfindolphin2013

Great Layout, great condition considering its the most played course in the world. Not very challenging but still fun.

This classy Westside course is a favorite for its immaculate playing conditions and legendary 18th hole.

In Short
This popular public course has all the class and quality of the toniest private club--impeccably well-maintained tees, fairways and greens, and an idyllic Westside setting. You can let it rip on No. 2--a long, 438-yard, par 4--and on the even longer No. 11, which features a wide fairway and small, sand-trap-ridden green (it's not as hard as it looks). Rancho Park also features a two-tiered driving range, an executive course, and top-notch restaurant and bar.

Above average track, but still a typical Muni...

by johnsontrafton

Purely based on the golf, Rancho Park is the best value of any golf course I've ever played. It is a varied and somewhat demanding layout that is in remarkable shape considering it is the most played golf course in the world and the greens fees are only $24. However, I have stopped playing Rancho because the quickest I've ever gotten around 18 holes is 5 and a half hours. Most times it's 6 hours or more. Pace of play is so slow that it actually hurts. If you can't afford to play anywhere else, pack two meals and a book into your golf bag and mentally prepare for the longest day of golf in your life. You will enjoy it if you manage to keep your patience...

• Pros: Layout, Price
• Cons: Crowd, Slow Play

The Best

by WayneDockery

Many times site of the Los Angles Open. One of the best "city" courses in the country. Great variety of holes, and a real challenge. Very crowded but worth the effort

• Pros: Variety of holes, challenge, great layout
• Cons: Croweded, difficult to get time

Rancho Park Review

by jackmack65

The greens at Rancho Park are terrible, and have been destroyed by rude players who never fix a ball mark no matter what. This once-great gem of a muni has been ruined completely by willfully awful conduct of people who, in typical LA fashion, are incapable of thinking of anyone who might come after them. It's an incredibly sad place to play and a great reminder of what a bunch of jerks we who live in this town actually are. FIX YOUR DAMNED BALL MARKS!

• Pros: Great design, good value
• Cons: insanely slow play, rude players, bad greens.

Longest, slowest round EVER!!

by badmonkey

It took 4.5 hours to play 13 holes. You hit, you wait. You tee off when there's a group on the tee and when you get to the fairway, there's a group behind you at the tee yelling at you to hurry up. Like there's something we can do about it??? My brother is golf nut and made the trip from back east especially to golf. Even he says it was the most frustrating round he's ever played and HE'S the one who made the decision to quit after 13 holes. It would have taken us 8 hours total to finish. FIND ANOTHER COURSE and enjoy your round!

Good Public Course

by Oscar

If you can stand waiting on every shot, Rancho Park is a really nice course. Challenging holes and a surprisingly well kept course make this well worth it. You have to be be an LA resident to play, and it's very difficult to get a tee time, but if you get on, and you're not in any kind of hurray, you'll like this course. Driving range is off turf rather than grass, but there are a couple of large putting greens to warm up on.
