The Ranch at Laguna Beach

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Mark Christy and The Ranch at Laguna Beach truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warmth and professionalism, always ready to assist with a smile. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, reflecting their commitment to maintaining high standards. Every aspect of the service, from dining to accommodations, was top-notch. Mark Christy and his team have created a haven where hospitality thrives, making every guest feel valued and pampered. Our stay was nothing short of exceptional, and we can't wait to return!"

We stayed at The Ranch at Laguna Beach for two nights this past weekend. We had the most memorable time - mostly in part to the employees that we met there: Eduardo, Scott, Wissam, and Chris from the restaurant, McKenna from the farm, Sonia from the front desk, Andy from the golf course, and most importantly, Carissa McDevitt. Carissa helped us plan the most amazing, unforgettable weekend of our lives. We cannot thank her enough.

As for The Ranch itself - the location is breathtaking, the food is delicious, the rooms are clean, and the service is impeccable.

This place is great stay but the golf rates are little crazy. The rates have increased for the second time in this past year alone. It use to be 45 for a weekday then it was to 50. Yesterday the rates were increased to 55 for a weekday and it went to 65 for a weekend and that’s all day rate no twilight. It was great spot for 45 being a 9 but now easily I would play a larger course less!!! Sorry but this gem is now gone!!!

I used to be a former employee at The Ranch and occasionally still visit with my fiancée from time to time.

I wanted to write this review to commend an employee who went above and beyond to help my fiancé and I. A few weeks ago we had come into The Ranch to enjoy some cocktails outside. The Pantry (outdoor) restaurant was full so we sat on a fire-pit placed by the first tee. We were freezing cold and someone came up to us and offered to light the firepit for us so we could get warm. We were so grateful for his help! He told us his name was Chris and he is the supervisor inside The Harvest Restaurant. He asked us if we needed anything else and we joked we would like some cocktails from inside the Harvest restaurant, and he asked us if we really did, he could help us. He asked us what kind of alcohol we like, we told him Mezcal and he recommended us The Green Bogie I think it was called. Chris ended up brining us out each a cocktail and gave us the check then and there. We were so grateful for Chris, and his exceptional service will hopefully be recognized.

We realized he didn’t have to do any of the things that he did, which is why we think he deserves to be commended. I hope The Ranch knows how valuable of an employee they have. Thank you Chris!

I came here to see my friends perform. I enjoyed the venue and scenery. I was surprised by the lack of variety in the menu. My pizza didn’t have enough basil. Service was mediocre. I’m giving 4 stars because I want to give this place another chance.
