The Rancho San Marcos Golf Course has returned to its former glory, as the 5-year construction on the front 9 holes was completed in April.

The course, located just off Highway 154 next to Lake Cachuma and spanning 298 acres, is now open to the public and accepting tee times.

According to Rancho San Marcos General Manager Steven Battaglia, the course is the same as it was before the construction.

ā€œIt has always been an outstanding golf course in a beautiful country setting, so we just got it back in shape and ready for golfers to come out and enjoy it with us,ā€ Battaglia said.

Rancho San Marcos Golf Course opened its doors in 1988 and has hosted several large golf events throughout the years.

The course is open from Thursday to Sunday for visitors and locals to enjoy a weekend of golf. For more information, click here.
