Don't be surprised after playing the Rancho San Marcos Golf Course if your scores are lower than normal.

Not that the 6,939-yard par-71 course is a pushover. A favorable routing by Robert Trent Jones Jr. lacking a traditional set of men's blue tees makes all the difference in your quest to conquering such a beautiful canyon course. Jones II designed six par 3s and five par 5s - holes that are more ripe for scoring than par 4s. With only three sets of tees to choose from, most golfers play from the 6,278-yard white tees, which leaves one short par 4 (the 318-yard third) and one short par 5 (the 473-yard 10th) vulnerable to more scoring opportunities.
