Robinson Ranch

Played on superbowl sunday… Conditions on the course were horrible. To start the guy driving the carts around was a jerk. Must of been a bad mood. Checked in with the starter and he told us it was cart path only… That should of been mentioned when we booked IMO. The fairways were in horrible condition and wasnt worth the $ 60 i paid… Wont travel over 50 miles to play this course again… Almost every shot in the fairway was hitting off a patch of dirt…

They have a great breakfast too. The atmosphere are great. We asked to sit near the window and watch some golf games. The services are OK because it took too long for our food.

The staff here really is awesome, and that’s the sole reason I’m still giving the third star. I played Valley a couple weeks ago and was able to play a twilight (noonish) round all by myself with hardly any waits. Even saw a few deer and it wasn’t too windy, so I got pretty lucky.
Unfortunately what people are reporting about the course conditions is true. Over the phone I was told they are watering 150 yds and in on par 4’s and 200 yds and in on par 5’s. While this may be true, it isn’t helping a whole lot. Much of Valley is dried or dying grass. From looking at Mountain, I’d say it’s definitely even worse. The tee boxes and greens are fine on both courses though.
If you have a nicely honed swing and can consistently compact the ball well with your irons and always take your divot after impact, you can still play well here. If not (like me), bring as many hybrids as you can or feel free to play winter rules.
At the end of the day, have realistic expectations and you’ll have a decent time.

I golf at a lot of courses in the area and this course used to be a nice one. I say used to be because they have completely let the course die, besides the two holes that you can see from the clubhouse. Don’t waste your money and hit off the hard packed dirt! Great designs but this course needs new ownership that care about the condition of the golf course. As to the guy who reviewed and said don’t take it out on them, I’ve had nothing but great experience with the staff here but unfortunately they are working for owners that just let courses die and try to hide it by having nice holes you can see from the clubhouse. With that being said if this was a Mother Nature thing as to why the course is dead how come other courses are still green and those two holes on the course have miraculously survived?!

I don’t frequent this place often, but have made it out 2 times in the last month. Even with the dryer fairways due to watering restrictions in Valencia, the greens are well maintained and the views and course are amazing. Great spot to spend a few hours with friends!

My turn to chime in…
I’ve been around Robinson Ranch for over 16 years and have heard all the great comments when the golf course was perfect… and now that the golf course is in the fate of Mother Nature’s hands and you pan it and the staff.
Totally unfair in 99% of the reviews.
The most incredible staff and ownership group have been taking the beating for conditions well beyond their control.
Robinson Ranch is a vital part of golf in So. Cal and needs support of the golf community not the negative vibe nor the thrashing of a staff that provides the most incredible golf experience.
If you are paying attention the staff truly cares about the people that patronize the facility.
Be fair… If you’re playing for a reduced rate don’t complain about conditions see the bigger picture and see the experience of the service provided by the staff.
Robinson Ranch will return to being the top public facility in the hands of a very capable management team.
Don’t be a hater!

We played the Mountain course yesterday. No grass. Just hard dirt and no way to take a divot. This track should be closed not played. The starter never said one word of warning. When I complained I got arrogant Jordan who argued that it was playable. So is a baseball diamond if you don’t need grass. He was argumentative and unhelpful. He did allow us to play the Valley course. It was also dead and dry but it did have some grass. The greens were hard and fast. There is no picture of the holes on the scorecard. No gps in the carts. This place is a decrepit disgrace. I will never return. They need to raze the place and do something useful since golf is not an option.

Easy to find wedding reception venue. Why did they have a football game on the television during the wedding reception? Thankfully the sound was turned off. The food was very good (beef tenderloin), with choice of pure horseradish, or horseradish cream. Broccolini and carrots undercooked. Efficient and fast food service. Champagne served an hour before the toast, so it was warm
Windy conditions and outdoor reception at 4 pm? Not good planning. Why couldn’t we be indoors in November?

Be aware of golf now hot deal,
currently the course is not playable, as other people mentioned about the green condition. the sand are literally just concrete it is and i can’t even call it a green while there is no green. don’t waste the time and money on bargain.

Ted Robinson designed two beautiful courses and both are suffering from our continued drought. All water is being directed to the greens and tees and a few landing areas. Other than that it’s dry and fairways are yellow. Certain spots are bare and rocky. I think they should lower their prices in order to get more players, as there are currently few. The course is going to be there anyway, so its better to have 80 people a day paying $ 40 =$ 3200 than 50 people paying $ 60 =$ 3000. And all the extra people will buy other stuff too, like food and equipment. Lower your price, Robinson, and I’ll come and bring a friend. When the course improves you can raise your prices and we’ll still come. It’s just not worth $ 60 right now.

Sergio the bartender makes this place great!
We came for a workshop and when we needed him he was very attentive and did his best to make sure our experience was top notch!

I found this place on golfnow for 60 dollars and an 8 am tee time. I thought to myself, «what a great deal!»
We rolled up to this place, and were immediately impressed by the back drop and overall luxury that this place emanated.
That all changed when we go to the first tee. Long story short, the drought has hit this place hard, and for whatever reason they have stopped watering the fairways. Patches of dead grass mixed in with rock hard dirt make this course almost unplayable. The bunkers on the front nine are effectively concrete.
Save yourself the money and drive, don’t bother with this place.

Man Ooo man. just as others have noted, the current condition of this place, both courses, is a big downer. Wasteland really. If you can go on their website/​sign up for their email deals you may be able to play for I believe $ 35 (more or less) twilight, which most likely will be too much!
The greens are in nice shape as are most of the tee boxes. Some of the bunkers are good while others are a hardpan pebble mix. The fairways though, ouch. The only positive to this is hitting the longest drives of your life!
Proceed with caution.

*drought conditions
This review is based on drought conditions. The course was not at its 100%.
For $ 30 from golfnow, I played the Mountain course. Took only 2:30. I was a single and did not see a single golfer out there. 97 degrees. The tee boxes and greens were above avg. the fairways were dry and yellow.
For me, the green lush scenery is part of the pleasure. The more green, the more cooler it is. The front 9 was very difficult to enjoy. Too hot and dry. Its not a great feeling hitting off hard, packed dirt in the middle of the fairway.
The starter was top notch. Dropped off a handful of tees and gave me quick advice for the course. Helped a lot.
But will not return until the course is back to normal. Sad to say.

The course is so dead we had to play it up so we wouldn’t just be hitting off hard dirt.
The sand traps are dirt for the most part.
I guess they will have to reseed the entire course? I dunno what the plan is but it is completely dead except the greens and a few spots here and there.
They should slash prices until this is resolved and warn people when they call for tee times.

I have played this course multiple times since moving to the area in 2010. It has always been one of my favorites (both Valley & Mountain) for design, scenery and a great challange of golf.
While I understand the current drought situation in the southwest I do not understand the thought process in letting the fairways completely die? Maybe the owners/​operators should just completely close one of the two courses and focus on improving the other?
It’s a terribly sad scene and until it’s improved or redesigned I highly recommend staying away… it just no longer resembles a golf course.

We went for breakfast, the two is averaging service, 5, and food a 1. Burritos were made by an amateur cook at best. Mostly processed pre-​packaged offerings, won’t be back, and this is one mile from my house and that’s sad!
The view and service were great, so make the dining match it, would you?

Mountain Course — greens are in EXCELLENT condition. True and speedy.
Fairways are a bit dry but didn’t affect the play. Course was tough with a lot of target shots to test you. Pace of play is not issue here.
Go to
to get 2 for $ 86 deal like we did.

Still great service. Played mountain today.
The water shortage has really killed the course. You’re pretty much hitting off dirt from the fairways, etc. So if you play bowling golf, this is the course for you at this time. Your ball will just roll and roll.
The greens were super fast.

If you’re serious about improving your golf game and looking for a down-​to-​earth and knowledgeable PGA pro, Mark is the man.
Overall, the 36 hole, RR Golf Course holds a high standard & tests your accuracy. Judging from experience, RRGC definitely plays like a private, i. e, TPC Valencia, Valencia CC.
Lastly, my boy Calvin’s review is completely spot on.
