Sonoma Ranch Golf Course

Overall the course is in very good condition…. Fairways are green and the Greens you will find challenging. However, the range and one of its putting greens are under repair so if you want to warm up you will be hitting off of mats….there is also no bunker area…Recommend the Sunset Grill…good food and atmosphere.

The course was burnt to a crisp, the greens were inconsistent, and the bunkers (traps) were unplayable.
A poor excuse for a premier course. By the looks , this course is well designed, but left to the ravages of the sun.
Dinner in the clubhouse restaurant was a welcome surprise with excellent food and service.

Sonoma Ranch is quickly getting into the great shape of 10 years ago. A great day, beautiful layout and the friendliest staff in NM.

All I can say this has become my go to course . There was a recent change in ownership and while I always went to red hawk now that they’re in charge I’ve gone back to the course closer to home .

Absolutely epic conditions
Course is going to be amazing soon, you can see the love put into it
Greens punched a couple weeks ago, coming back

greens recently punched, so uneven. fairways need work. pretty good.
it'll take a year to bring it up to Red Hawk level.

In great shape for mid winter after freezing temperatures.

Course conditions are improving but 12 and 16 greens are almost unplayable. I would only play at discount rate. Had starter issues. Showed up twenty minutes before tee time waited for 45. Had a 12:40 tee time and the 12:20 showed up at 12:35 my group didn’t start till 1:00. Sunset was 5:05. Wasn’t fun to finish in the dark. Marshals did nothing to speed up play. Hopefully course will improve conditions. You can see that redhawk staff has taken over. That’s both good and bad now bunkers look just as bad as Redhawk’s. It would be nice if crew ran bunker machine every couple of days. I understand that staff is short but it’s no different than mowing greens every day. The golf course is still a bargain for twenty five dollars but it’s really not worth more

Course needs to be upgraded to golf course standards. Some t-boxes need to be replanted. They are down to dirt and weeds. Sand traps are in bad shape. Some greens are in bad shape too. Will play again in a year and see if any improvements but not this year

If they started today and made the commitment, that course is about a year to two years away from being in average shape. And I don’t know how you can bring it up to respectable levels without investing a lot of money. The landscaping is bad and it’s nothing but tall weeds, rocks and dirt. The fairways aren’t really fairways as much as they are just uneven sod. Nothing rolled or trimmed. Most of the greens are in decent shape but lots of damage on them. Don’t play out of the bunkers there’s gravel in them. And most of the tee shots are blind tee shots as the eye lines don’t make any sense because you don’t really know where the flag is and you can’t see any areas around the greens. Just bad layout. Horrible course. Won’t go back. I’m sure the staff is nice but it needs a complete overhaul
