### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2025-02-17, version 15.10.03*

I spent $439 for 5 rounds of golf anytime but when i tried to get tee times at Encinitas Ranch or The Crossings there were never any openings that allowed me to play 18 holes.  Earliest was 2pm tee time.

### 1/5 — The Worst

*2024-12-15*

This is one of the worst app experiences I have ever seen.  Constant crashing, booking times seem to always have issues, and take 1+ months for simple fixes. I wish JC would sell all their courses in SD so someone that is competent would take them over and give us all a better experience

### 1/5 — App not working for residents

*2024-11-27, version 15.02.00*

Been 3 months and I still can’t book resident t-times. Called and said they are working on it but does it really take this long to fix? Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Horrendous

*2024-07-09*

Have you ever used an app that is so bad that it feels like it’s intentional? This is that app. I hope JC didn’t pay someone to create this, because if they did they need to get their money back. Worst UI ever, formatting is a disaster and doesn’t keep you logged in ever. Please do better JC.

### 1/5 — This app is the embodiment of how little JC cares about its customers

*2024-05-21*

I’ve been using this app for a few years now, it was pretty bad when I started using it, and over time has gradually gotten worse. I was so excited today when I was notified that there was an update available for the app, only to find NOTHING has been fixed. It looks terrible, the functionality is awful, design and fonts are all over the place and illegible. Despite the fact that I’ve logged in with their ID function hundreds of times and checked “remember me”; I have to log in every single time I use the app. 

The only thing worse than this app are the rock hard mats at Encinitas Ranch that should have been replaced 5 years ago. JC Golf should stop being a money vacuum and start caring about the product they are putting out there and investing some of that revenue back into their businesses. The people who run this corporation obviously don’t care though.

### 1/5 — Holiday Rates

*2023-12-18, version 11.07.00*

Absolutely unreasonable!!
Golf Club of California charged us a Full holiday rate of $85 dollars one week before Christmas, claiming they are charging holiday rates the full week before Christmas. Absolutely gouging.

### 1/5 — Crappy app - waste of time

*2023-08-22*

Apps are meant to be time efficient and effective at automating tasks. This one is neither. You are asked to constantly login each time for each course, even though a JC member has the same login for all JC Courses. What a waste of time. And it is ineffective at returning accurate tee times with that useless clock spinning like a gyro - you are better off calling the course and talking to a human. 
Please improve this or stop talking about this crappy app!!

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2023-08-19, version 11.00.00*

Requires you to log in OVER and OVER and OVER. Half the time it gives errors trying to book tee times.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-08-18*

App doesn’t work for online booking. Website doesn’t work for online booking. Even when it does work you can’t book a decent tee time before 3pm. Pointless membership with terrible service

### 1/5 — Needs changes

*2023-02-07*

Cumbersome to go from one course to another .The app should allow to search across with single login.  Freezes often. Going through safari works better.
After search you can ask 2 nd time login to book, instead of logging in for every course.

### 1/5 — Slow and not user friendly

*2023-01-11, version 9.07.00*

Takes too many steps to get what you want

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save login

*2022-04-27*

It’s very annoying that the app just takes you to the jc golf website and makes you login every single time. Why can’t we login one time and just browse whatever courses’ tee time? 

Please integrate all the courses into one place within the app and let us save our login info.

### 1/5 — Entire app needs an overhaul

*2022-04-22, version 7.11.00*

It asks you to login multiple times, and sometimes it doesn’t even load at all. Not good enough.

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2022-04-11*

One of the worst apps ever. It’s clear they do not care about the interface of the app. One of the most laggy, annoying and tedious app to check tee times. It’s actually ridiculous. Makes me want to not renew my jc pass because of how terrible and annoying it is to set up tee times. If you don’t believe me. Try it out for yourself. It’s horrendous.

### 1/5 — Glitch in latest version

*2022-03-07, version 7.11.00*

When trying to sign in on the iPad the typewriter doesn’t pop up making it impossible to sign in. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Cannot find Reservations

*2021-11-21*

I should be able to find my existing reservation within a few clicks.  Their really seems to be no use for this app since it redirects back to the website..

### 1/5 — Login

*2021-09-14, version 7.00.00*

Won’t let me login and keeps giving me invalid email or password notice. Password recovery not working for me. Please help!

### 1/5 — Not Functioning

*2026-07-10*

The JC Rate button does not work. Cannot log in and get connected. Have to go through the website that connects you back to the App. Why can’t you crest an App that works? Is it really that hard to find a programmer who knows what she/he is doing? And monitor it so you can fix it when it does not work. Like RIGHT NOW!

### 1/5 — Poorly done

*2026-07-04*

Poorly communicated email sent to me that doesn’t identify the sender as JC Golf. Could have been sent to the trash. When I get updated version it no longer lists 4 reservations I already made under the older version of the app. Yuck!

### 1/5 — App should be banned

*2026-06-24*

Useless buttons, disconnected logins, sluggish response, generally bad user interface. Updates are supposed to improve apps, not make them worse. If there was a “hateful app” rating this one is a 12 out of 10.

### 1/5 — Just awful

*2026-06-19*

The IDme login literally logs you out after just a few minutes (once logged in you should stay logged in) and the new teetime function doesn’t autorefresh every minute like it used to. What was a mediocre app to begin with is now barely functional.
They just released an update and now the Notify Me function is broken. Bravo guys, worst app on my phone hands down which is to be expected from an organization that shuts down its driving range 90 minutes before sunset. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Who’s doing user testing???

*2026-04-28*

Lost my access to existing reservations along with a completely different UI.  For the money we spend on the membership and all other JC costs I would expect more.  Be better….

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2026-04-01*

The worst thing before this update was having to login on some courses but not others. Now some courses default back to the standard web page where you have to click through again to enter booking engine but the rendering overlaps and won’t let you proceed. It just takes you to an infinite loop. How bad can you be to break something that’s just needs to hold onto cookies and point to the actual booking engine and not a web page to get to a different booking engine that’s broken?

### 1/5 — It looks like it was made by a 2 year old monkey, on a farm

*2026-03-02*

This app is barely functional when it does refresh and/or not crash. You should screenshot the rates at which you are booking because that is the only time you will ever see green fee.

### 1/5 — Just awful

*2026-02-10, version 21.08.00*

The IDme login literally logs you out after just a few minutes (once logged in you should stay logged in) and the new teetime function doesn’t autorefresh every minute like it used to. What was a mediocre app to begin with is now barely functional.

### 1/5 — Who’s doing user testing???

*2026-01-22, version 21.05.00*

Lost my access to existing reservations along with a completely different UI.  For the money we spend on the membership and all other JC costs I would expect more.  Be better….

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-01-15*

The app is completely useless. Doesn’t show existing reservations and also have to either call course or figure out kludgy website. Email confirmations are also useless to modify. I guess you can try and plan a visit on this rag but pretty disappointing for course management company

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 4/5 — Now it works!

*2021-07-03*

The app was crashing and I went to the App Store and saw that it needed to be updated. When I updated it again worked fine. Next time maybe they can email a notification.

### 3/5 — Needs Work

*2021-12-29*

Should not have to enter email in each time I book. Ever since they changed booking sites, it has been difficult and tedious.

### 2/5 — multiple logins waste of time.

*2024-09-06*

I totally agree with one gentlemans previous assessment.  You change courses on the app and you have to log in all over again.

### 2/5 — Horrible App

*2021-09-09*

Used to be great when the other courses had their own booking app. Once you make a time you can’t see it or cancel it. Haven’t been able to log in the last 3 days.  JC Golf Is failing.

### 2/5 — Not stable yet

*2021-09-03*

This app need a bit more quality control. I was able to book a tee time for Oaks North earlier this week but now am unable to view any tee times for the course. Seems hit and miss.

### 2/5 — Multiple logins

*2021-08-12*

I agree with the other reviewer.  This app is much more clunky that the prior separate apps.  Why do I have to login over and over every time I use it.  Please fix that.

### 2/5 — Why do I have to login for each course?

*2021-07-29*

When I’m searching for tee times I find that with each course I select I get asked to login again. That’s an unnecessary action. I should be able to authenticate once and then be free to check multiple courses (one at a time) for tee time availability. When we had multiple apps (one for each course) I never had to reauthenticate so it was much easier to check tee times at multiple courses

### 2/5 — No single player selection

*2020-03-11, version 1.24.2*

Would be nice if you could make t times for single players you have to call
