Rancho Del Sol
The Rancho Del Sol Golf Club (formerly called Ranch at Moreno Valley Golf Club): In the late-2010s, this Pete Dye design was revamped from a challenging 27 holes (comprising the Valley, Mountain and Lake nines) into a more playable but still exciting and scenic 18-hole course.
Now starting on the front-nine "Valley" loop, the course winds between residential housing and a good-sized lake. The back-nine "Mountain" loop, takes you south from the clubhouse, climbing into hills above the houses. Here you'll enjoy many breathtaking views of the valley and the San Bernadino Mountain range in the distance.
The Valley-nine is the flatter of the two nines, with lightly tree-lined pairs of holes heading out-and-back in links-style. Water comes dangerously into play on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th holes. Housing is more present than on the Mountain-nine, flanking each pair of holes, although never too closely.
The Mountain-nine gets you up into the boulder-clad hills of Mt Russell, from where you can enjoy some of the most spectacular panoramas to be found on any Southern California golf course. Some tee-shots will feel a bit tight as you progress upwards into the quiet and natural hillside environment, before descending again to the clubhouse via the 16th, 17th and closing par-3 18th holes. With limited housing along the way, the views and scenery are fabulous.
Named after Lake Perris (which you don't actually see from the course), the former Lake-nine was formerly the most spread out of the loops, weaving its way through a residential community.

Located just 2 miles from the golf course, but not visible from it, is Lake Perris. Over 2 miles long and over a mile wide, Lake Perris was built in the early 1970's as the last reservoir in the California Water Project to provide drinking water to Southern California residents.
Nestled between Moreno Valley and Perris, this State Recreation Area provides a place to escape the bustle of city life. There are many recreational activities to enjoy, such as hiking, biking, water-skiing, boating, jet skiing, fishing, swimming, horse back riding, camping and picknicking. There is also a Regional Indian Museum open on weekends and Wednesdays.
