The Ranch at Laguna Beach Golf Course

My wife and I love this place. Comfy rooms. Beautiful views. Friendly staff, especially the locals who can tell you where the best places are around town. Love the Rivian rides. The spa is awesome! Food is good. Walking distance to beach. Only downside is loud kids at the pool. This place is set up to relax and recharge.

Disappointing experience. The tee boxes are all dead grass, the greens are so wet every ball plugged. The staff in the golf shop is rude and unhelpful. The warmup area is a big net, but the hitting mats are beat, have holes in them and do not have rubber tees. The range balls are old and scared our irons. The lone bright spot was the starter, Jeff. Great guy, excellent information about how to play the course, and in general just a friendly, helpful staff member…sadly the only one.

Played today from 3pm till dark and like always, the course is in great shape. The greens are some of the purest around. Awesome design. My favorite 9 hole. Delicious food at the restaurant overlooking the course. Friendly and helpful staff.
