Tustin Ranch Golf Club Review
Tustin, CA
73.5 rating; 134 slope |
Tustin Ranch Golf Club Overview: Located in the heart of Orange County,
this ho-hum golf course is okay, but way overpriced.
With some decent holes (most of which are repetitive) and pretty good
course conditions, the golfer will have fun out here, but not at the $100+ it
costs to play. See best holes reviewed
below:
Tustin Ranch Hole 2: This short par five is reachable in two if the golfer can clear the lake on his second shot. The driving area, however, is really tight and the green is only 24 yards deep, so it will take two great shots to accomplish that. As a three shot hole, the key is to place the ball with a good angle to the pin for the still tough approach. (not pictured)
Tustin Ranch Hole 9: This medium length par 5 is all about the third shot, which must cross the lake to the green complex. Of course, a big drive could tempt the long hitter to go for it in two, but precision is key either way.

Tustin Ranch Hole 11: The signature golf hole requires precision as water pretty much surrounds the green.
Tustin Ranch Hole 12: The best par four on the course is brutally long with a tough drive between the fairway bunkers and a tough approach to a green that is only 23 yards deep and features bunkers left, long and right. (not pictured)
Tustin Ranch Hole 15: This relatively short par four shows more character than most at Tustin Ranch as the driving area is tight with three bunkers right and a steep slope left. The uphill approach is to a tiny green with trouble left, right and long in the form of bunkers or a hillside. (not pictured)
