Chopped up.

Use to be a 18 hole course. Reduced to 9 holes now. Fairways in good condition. Sand traps were excellent. Greens were good. Rest of course quite overgrown. Sad state of affairs for golf courses in California.

Water, maintance and sand

Course layout is great. Lots of different looks on each hole. Fairways have alot of unulations, gives players interesting views. Course needs some water and maintance. Must have been great looking when new. Looks like they are adding sand to the bunkers on a schedule. Will play again. The addition of new carts adds to the day. Driving range looks quite nice, but didn't use.

What happened to this course?

First of all my cart didn't have a windshield and it was windy. Second of all you can't take the cart to the parking lot to retive your clubs, third the first hole is a par five and you have to stay on the cart path. The sand traps don't have any sand in them, just dirt that is raked. Greens are hard and fast which is fine. The eighteenth hole has been pluged and the plug's haven't been swept up, so you have to move them away from your ball. In my opinion not worth the time or money.

Old standard

Played this course many times. Can be walked , but a little hilly. Bunkers in fair shape, greens as well. Plays like an older course, narrow with trees on fairways.

could use some care

The course is close to my house. They know that the course is dry, but try and make the greens acceptable. The play there is usually very slow, four and half hours to five. They do a good job as far as getting the carts clean and ready in these difficult times.

What happened...

Needs lots of water! At one time was a great place to play. Over the years has fallen on hard times. Greens still decant. Good for a practice round because inexpensive to play.

Thanks for playing, the course is under new ownership and management and while it is expected to take several years to restore the course it's getting better each week. Bunker renovations started last week and irrigation work continues. Thanks again and hope to see you at the club soon.

Windy, windy, windy

Course has a tendency to be windy. Design of course is excellent. Course is not well maintained. All bunkers are overgrown with vegetation. No driving range. But excellent green fees if you play on off times.

A tough one

This is a course that everyone should play at least once. Offers every obstacle that you could imagine except water. Well maintained with small greens and lots of elevation variations. Let's not forget the trees. A must course if you enjoy a challenge!!

Good course great value.

For the frequent golfer this is outstanding value. Play is usually at a descent pace and the course plays to most levels of golfers. Not a course for beginners, but with some experience can be quite fun. Adding a driving range would be a plus, but I understand the restrictions.

You have to play this one!!

Located just pass Placerville, this mountain course is one to behold. Beautiful setting on each and every hole. Will require every shot that you have and then some. Constant elevation changes with left and right turns. If you enjoy golf with scenery this is it. A must to come back and play.

Great Course, Great Day

The weather was just perfect. The course is in great shape. The grass off of the fairway is long, but offers a great challenge. Anyone looking for a golf course that will challenge your game needs to come here.
